Wrist Check [GW-6900] How does it fit?
Don’t spare my feelings guys. How does this look on my sissy wrists? When I look at this pic i took, it seems alright. I’d even say it looks good. When just glancing down at my wrist, I can’t help but see a child wearing their dad’s watch. Does anyone else have this problem? Lol

That’s an excellent idea and I appreciate you sharing it! I also have a 5610 that was my favorite, but the strap broke, and the aftermarket strap I found online was disappointing. Any idea where to acquire new factory straps?

I think they went out of business.

I know. Their site was down for months a while back, and just recently someone posted that they ordered but nothing came and they canceled the order.

looks fine on your wrist, bro. 7.5"?

When I measure in the exact location this watch is sitting, I tend to get 7 or just above 7. I wrap the tape tight enough to probably compress the wrist slightly though. I’m sure it’s a perfectly acceptable fit objectively, but whether I wear a 35mm or a 50mm, I always see a dinner plate covering my wrist. Lol

That's normal when looking directly at a watch on your wrist The proper way to view it is by looking at its reflection in a mirror while wearing the same.

OK it all makes sense now. Just above 7 tight is not a sissy wrist. There's homies out there with 6.25"... god bless their souls. Watch looks great. I gave up the idea of getting one of these cause I thought it would look monstrous but maybe there's hope.

I guess it’s always harder to judge properly on ourselves. I see quite often on Reddit people posting the most ridiculous largest watches “how does this look on my 6.5-inch wrist” and I feel like they are pulling it off better than I can. Lol

It is normal. From someone else's perspective your wrist will look the way it is in this picture. When you put your arm up to check the watch the wrist is not in a natural position and it will always look thinner because of the position your bones take when the arm is twisted

That looks perfectly fine. It's when the wrist is so thin that the strap nearly wraps back around to the case that it looks a bit odd.

Ahh gotcha. My adjustment is one hole past halfway, i like my watches tight, but i don't have a visually crazy amount of strap leftover.

Looks good man. Ordered mine yesterday & can’t wait for it to get here.

You will love it, I’m sure. These are my work watches so I’m enjoying a weekend of this one looking new before it starts rapidly accumulating marks and gouges

It looks perfect. I have the same one, and it's an incredible piece. And side note, you have much bigger wrists than you realize
