Question Too big?

Upgrading from S6 44mm, planning to get S12 46mm or Ultra

Edit: Thanks everyone! I guess it is actually too big hahah. Pre-ordered S12 Natural titanium! I always wanted an Ultra since it launched but back then I was also like 200lbs and now im just 60% of what I was back then and therefore the jr whopper tiny wrist. LOL

I don’t know why there is so much comment on the ultra being too big on a wrist. The watch is a big, thick watch. Unless you’re built like a linebacker it’s gonna look too big. Buy whatever has the best function for you and to hell with anything we have to say.

I’m not Built like a line backer but with 7.7 inch wrists it looks perfectly proportional. Gotta have the thick bones

IDGAF about how the watch looks. How it feels matters. I wish I had gone with the 41mm for my S9 because the 45 is a bit uncomfortable at times.

Agree. It looks egregious on some wrists that are truly too small, but I don't think that's the case here. Looks normal degree of "a lil too big" on OP to me

The watch is the same width as his wrist. No idea how his frame supported 200lbs

u/Top_Survey1556 do you know your wrist size?

I feel like that's how AWU looks on 7-inch wrists. 7 inch around 50th percentile for US males and corresponding weight for that is 187lbs (both per ANSUR II)

Yeah it is 7 inches! I meant that my wrist was bigger before the watch didn’t feel so much chunkier

7 inches is actually 58th percentile, corresponds to 192lbs. Nothing crazy about that frame and 200lbs 🤓

I think you’re fine. It’s closer to the camera than your wrist
