I haven't taken a really accurate measurement of my wrist.. I think it's 7.1 or 7.2"

I was changing straps again today (silicone one came in) so I took this shot to give myself an idea of what my sizing is like using my own 'lug to lug' measurement.

So here's my watch with a pretty decently big 50mm lug to lug on my wrist... as you can see, plenty of room left over past the lugs. I blacked out the dial to take that out of the equation of perception. Also I'm over 200 lbs, another thing to take into consideration on top of just wrist size

I have noticed all the brands I follow are offering more and more smaller watches, so the trend is going smaller again (despite, as mentioned before, people are bigger than they were even in the 70's and much bigger than in the 40's and earlier). I think it's great that smaller sizes are coming out for people of all sizes, but I think I just like big watches, at least for now. The Hanhart was so nice man. 54mm lug to lug...

I guess I have to try more on to get a full idea of what works for me... Before I bought this I tried on some Seikos that were 39mm and they felt ridiculously small to me, but again maybe it's all in my head
