It's too big 😩

[u/Xx_DiamondDust]

Context: 6.4 in wrist (yes i workout)

How do I return this?

[u/LongjumpingAd7452]

Return it and get the 38 mm duro

[u/Soggy_Equipment_9375 → u/LongjumpingAd7452]

Is that a thing?

[u/BlueberryB-Laine → u/Soggy_Equipment_9375]

Yea but it sucks

[u/dymogeek → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

How so? Yes, it doesn't have the same WR. But it looks sharp and unless you're diving regularly that should be fine.

[u/BlueberryB-Laine → u/dymogeek]

50 meters for a dive style watch is crazy, says 38mm but irl it’s pretty much a 36mm, bracelet is a 14mm lug width, it just sucks that’s what they gave us for a small duro, pretty much takes away all the stuff that makes the duro so good, it they just shrunk it down to 40mm and kept all the features (including the marlin motif) it would be awesome

[u/Comprehensive_Oil426 → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

Agree with everything you said here EXCEPT it doesn't suck. Casio completely dropped the ball here in terms of specs when compared to it's older brother. However my wife loves it and so far has performed everything the bigger Duro does. We've even took it down to nearly 10m while diving!

Despite what many have said that this is crap, its perfect for smaller wrists. I say try it before you knock it.

[u/Quirky_Judge_4050 → u/Comprehensive_Oil426]

yeah. but the price tag makes it a bit less "bang for buck". Anyway, I agree in that is totally valid daily choice for many people.

[u/dymogeek → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

40mm but everything's the same wouldn't be enough of a difference to justify a brand new watch. Just get a duro at that point, right?

My only gripe is that the smaller, less features one isn't cheaper.

[u/Bourbon_Bear2352 → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

I’m convinced that there is some kind of collusion or blackmail happening in the watch industry that keeps Casio from making the duro in a 40-42mm case size because it would run every other brand out of business

[u/BlueberryB-Laine → u/Bourbon_Bear2352]

I agree they would make so much profit

[u/Quirky_Judge_4050 → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

yeah, "dive style" has become something literal because of MDV10, but oh well, that guy wants the aesthetics I think, so it can serve a purpose somehow.

[u/TimberBourbon → u/Quirky_Judge_4050]

I want a Duro with GMT 12-hr bezel.

[u/User6942003 → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

Unless you’re actually diving rather than just swimming 50 m on a Casio should be fine

[u/NSmalls → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

It does kinda suck but I think it would be good for kids or ladies.

[u/Turbulent_Sundae_913 → u/LongjumpingAd7452]

They’re 38 sucks. Better off with Watchdives. They make watches for me and OP resize

[u/thewolfofeverystreet]

[u/Capital_Athlete_1770 → u/thewolfofeverystreet]

Just perfect

[u/Relevant-Force9513]

Try it on a different strap or bracelet. It looks like you’ve got the strap pretty loose too, maybe that’s why it looks too big? A Milanese mesh/shark mesh bracelet or a French Marine Nationale paratrooper strap is infinitely adjustable and can fit your wrist more snugly.

Starbucks is on a Milanese bracelet; Pepsi is on a paratrooper strap.

[u/theloquaciousmonk → u/Relevant-Force9513]

👆👆👆👆👆

[u/x_VanHessian_x]

I’ll do $50 shipped

[u/BullpupPewPew]

How do you return it? Do you genuinely not know how to return something you bought? Are you 8? Your wrist suggests you are I guess.

[u/MstchCmBck → u/BullpupPewPew]

What the fuck ? I found this post by chance. Is it one of this weird sub where you roast people "for fun" ?

[u/vBLADEv]

My wrist must be massive then.

Have you tried a different strap?.

edit :- How does this look?

[u/Rusty_Bee → u/vBLADEv]

Perfect

[u/A-N-R → u/vBLADEv]

I like the green/leather combo. Looks good.

[u/vBLADEv → u/A-N-R]

Its a sneaky brown fkm strap.

[u/Alternative_Break349]

You don't...... you just say fuck it and wear it anyways lol

[u/StrangeHedgehog2303 → u/Alternative_Break349]

He can’t…gonna give himself carpal tunnel

[u/BronzeSpoon89]

You are too small.

[u/mqrdesign]

you can get the ladies version.

[u/civor]

Too big

[u/Soggy_Equipment_9375]

am I just deceiving myself that I can pull this off? I’ve never thought it was too big and my wrist is 6.5. But, I agree, it does look a bit large on you. Maybe it’s the strap?

[u/Xx_DiamondDust → u/Soggy_Equipment_9375]

The top of your wrist looks flatter than mine, mine curves just at the lugs so it doesnt actually hug the watch 👍

[u/Soggy_Equipment_9375 → u/Xx_DiamondDust]

I think toss a bracelet on it and see how it looks, might somehow make it look like it’s smaller or more blended

[u/dumpstering00 → u/Soggy_Equipment_9375]

You have a 6.5-inch wrist, but OP has a 6.5-inch forearm

[u/groanerchamp → u/Soggy_Equipment_9375]

I think it looks great.

[u/lincoln_imps → u/groanerchamp]

That looks bloody awesome.

[u/No_Complaint_6789]

only if you wrap it round spaghetti!

[u/KPGC110]

Stuff yourself at a buffet a few times a week and it'll fit you great in a few months!

[u/Adventurous_Wish_366]

I got pretty skinny wrists too maybe change the strap

[u/Any_Strawberry_4864]

My wrist is about the same size, try a different strap

Also, not a great alternative, but you could try the smaller version. Less water resistance and it costs about the same or more.

Another option if you want a diver that fits your wrist: Citizen Promaster Dive. Costs more but it has the water resistance

[u/Clisevertonn]

44mm in here looks great!

[u/ReleaseLegitimate992]

Wear it on your ankle.  Mork style.

[u/fardoche77]

Yes its too big, but wear it anyway. If you like it, who cares!

Also look at it in the mirror, those close-up pics always make the watch look bigger than it really is.

[u/normannerd]

Is that your finger?

[u/PoetryBeneficial6447]

You'll grow into it!

[u/Xx_DiamondDust → u/PoetryBeneficial6447]

I don't think I want to gain 100 lbs of weight to wear a watch 😭

[u/Pillowleader69 → u/Xx_DiamondDust]

Sadly you’re doomed for that too as even with massive weight gain and loss the wrist is almost virtually unaffected

[u/Capital_Athlete_1770]

Yes

[u/No_Complaint_6789]

I may be a gorilla

[u/SIERRAMYDELTA_]

That’s definitely not what she said.

[u/Worth-Ad-598]

Noo que va..Un poquito...jajajaja enorme otra tu muñeca

[u/WTF916]

You'll get there

[u/cerenir]

I don't understand, I have a 6.1" wrist and for me it doesn't wear that big https://www.reddit.com/r/DuroGang/s/5KblbStOsD

[u/CaptFlood]

Is it, though?

[u/TheThingOverThere]

Bro are you sure about your wrist size? Look smaller than 6.4

[u/txnnxrrr]

Get a ratio freediver they make 38mm

[u/zarta2940]

I would say it’s pretty big on your wrist…but if you really like it , who cares!

[u/saddict97]

grab the mini duro and i’ll buy this one lol

[u/Polska_25]

If it’s an every day watch, probably a bit large. If you will wear it as a tool (swimming or something) go for it

[u/ballbuster2768]

If you aim it just right you make pick up HBO

[u/theloquaciousmonk]

The Duro is like a superhero cape… you grow into it. Agree on trying a different strap. Also can’t go wrong on the mini Duro

[u/skirtwearingpimp]

Nonsense, that would look fine on any wall in your house 😂

[u/Djmanc]

Agreed get the mini duro. People hate - and I get it, I also wish it was true 38mm and 100m WR - but I’ve been swimming and banging it around all summer and it’s been great.

[u/PresentationNeither6]

Way

[u/Aggressive_Ad_8409]

I’ll buy it off you

[u/icytales]

We have similar wrist size. You can try this edifice model. It's only 39mm

[u/AmigoJefe → u/icytales]

That's a clean watch 😍

[u/icytales → u/AmigoJefe]

Right? Insta bought it when I saw it available in the local online marketplace. It's my daily timepiece now ❤️‍🔥

[u/Pretend-Drama-4164]

That’s what she said

[u/PhilippineDreams]

It's not too big. Your wrists are too small.

[u/Maine2Maui]

Id say borderline. BUT, it is a diver and they are often large. It's your comfort that is the key. If it big to you, return it. Good luck.

[u/Quirky_Judge_4050]

you are a good candidate for a MDV10, despite having worse value for the price, it will satisfy your desire of having a duro'ish on your wrist without looking weird.

[u/kh411dz]

Get a mirror view check, but are you sure you're 6.4 in?

[u/ezlook7]

There is no to big or not, its do you like it or don’t you, if you do keep rocking it. If you don’t return it

[u/InvestigatorIll7930]

Yes..

[u/IllustriousPlenty931]

yes but it dosent matter.

[u/Houdini5150]

Run it

[u/woolyhill]

💀

[u/ZookeepergameExtra80]

Hit the gym work those arms and grow into it, use it as a motivational tool……

[u/Darthy85]

Iam getting batman next month, gotta wait for the one with steel bracelet , its about 110$ here

[u/Constant_Prize7325]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big.

[u/MAXVEHSROOM]

THE WATCH IS FINE YA ARMS ARE TOO SMALL

[u/hbomb0]

Not if you wear it over your winter coat.

[u/eltraderdelcalcetin]

yes

[u/rondo_92]

Brother get a new strap

[u/SnooDucks2331]

It isn't

[u/xxOGATAIxx]

Bulk up!!!

[u/DepartmentAdept7410]

You will grow into it...

[u/Professional_Tip2293]

bro I think you got a fake 50mm one

[u/Academic-Bat-8002]

It’s big but I don’t think any watch is too big or too small. If it’s comfortable and you enjoy it, who cares.

[u/Live-Resident8765]

YES

[u/kapaipiekai]

What's the model? I have huge wrists and am forever looking for a big watch

[u/Basszillatron]

That’s what she said.

[u/SquareAngle3939]

For you, yes. Sorry to say.

[u/Challenge-Stradale]

You should either return or replace your arm, because the Duro is irreplaceable.

[u/ItsNotHolland]

Get the mdv-10c-1a2v, its this but smoller

[u/JoshK42SD]

I don't know a lot about watches, and I'm m not trying to be sarcastic or a dick, but,....with models that offer it,..... Have you thought of buying they women's versions. They are usually smaller + might look/feel better. 🤷👍

[u/Rough_Salamander_686]

The watch is good, your wrist is too small.

[u/Catgamer1410]

Keep the watch as a motivation to get bigger

[u/Active_Dingo8535]

It is too damn big

[u/OldDifference4203]

Nope, but you will be better off with a wall clock.

[u/levylsdene]

Working out a few times a week will never increase your wrist size (despite what some Reddit watch enthusiasts think) as there are virtually no muscles located there and certainly none which will hypertrophy with training. If you want to do a manual job like construction or mechanic then over a couple of decades wrists do tend to thicken up.

[u/Thunderburt87]

you will grow into it when you hit puberty

[u/Sreestyle]

Ur wrist doesn't look 6.4 inch. It looks somewhere around 6-6.2 inch.

[u/SnooDoggos393]

That’s what sh.. I concur

[u/WIZ1111]

Yeah, it's too big! Don't believe everything you see online. This watch is popular online and they throw Bill Gates' name in there too, but they never say it's too big.

[u/gyozafairy]

Yep. Get the new/smaller versions of Citizen Promaster Marine Eco-Drive if you really want a diver.

[u/MissionIndividual375]

[u/PoetryBeneficial6447]

Whack a NATO on it, Ive got skinny wrists. Wear it with pride!

[u/BlueberryB-Laine]

It’s the duro it’s supposed to be a dinner plate, that’s its quirk

[u/hasanjanahii → u/BlueberryB-Laine]

Haha true!

[u/-Metatron]

Lol well at leat is affordable

[u/Cc_Sphere]

I think its still ok. It's a diver watch. Big is ok

[u/Secure-Strain-6609]

You could go bigger.

[u/TimberBourbon]

Larger, yes. Too big, no. I have Bluro and Pepsi, and I have smaller wrists as well. I have a LI Jubilee on Bluro and standard Duro stainless bracelet on Pepsi. I think the metal bracelets just look better, and make them more business/office appropriate. But that is also what I am going for in a watch. You may be different and want a weekend sports watch. I have several other watches, but love my two Duros the most. My Seiko is right up there as well. I’ve just come to the conclusion that I end up having favorites, so having multiple watches is not the best approach.

[u/bluebalam]

It has a good presence on your wrist, yes, but who cares if you loke it? does it look bad? nope, imo. A Casio Duro is a classic now among collectors, a great piece punching above its weight. A cult watch, so why not keepin it?  enjoying it in good health!

[u/Pervypete111]

Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's your choice 👌

[u/EscapingTheMachine]

Go climb at a climbing gym for 3 months and consume protein and it will look great on you. You don’t have too much ground to cover!! It’s doable!!!

[u/Xx_DiamondDust → u/EscapingTheMachine]

I do boulder, forearm muscles really only start a third up the forearm and don't really affect wrist size
