Greetings,

I recently picked up a seiko SSB397P1 41mm. The watch is beautiful crafted and it’s elegant presence is stunning. However, I am not sure if this really fits my wrist. i have a relatively small wrist, and everything with 40+ mm on a watch wheels too big. I do have another watch which is 37mm. It might be because I am not used to the bigger dials?

What is your take on this size of a watch on my wrist? Do you think it fits good?

    . I also have small wrists. I am too self conscious to wear but it’s a nice watch. If you don’t care about it being “too big” that’s all you need to wear it

      Great comment, thanks!

      I fullt agree with you on you should wear it if you like it. I am definitely keeping the watch, but will probably use it as some occasions. It does not look too out of place

    Yeah it’s a little big for your wrist in my opinion, but if that’s okay with you, wear it.

    It looks great nonetheless!

      Appreciate it!

      Yes 41mm might be a bit big, but I do enjoy the watch and will probably wear it at some occasions

    Yes, the general rule I go by is if the lugs are at the end of your wrist it’s pushing it. If they’re over, I wouldn’t even bother. But again, it’s what you like that matters.

    when you get a new watch you feel like the whole world is looking at you/your wrist and wonder about these things when in reality 99.99% people out there simply say “oh, a watch” unless it is a rolex. and for the .01% of people that appreciate watches, they would say “nice seiko!”. i think it looks fine. nice watch!

    I don’t ever remember thinking “that watch is too big for their wrist”. Only “That watch is huge.” Big watches are a thing, only a snob is going to unsolicited tell you to go smaller. If you can’t wear it and love it bc this is a question in your mind then sell it. Even if we should care what people think, if that is where we are at, then that is where we are today.

    It is on the bigger side, but do you feel comfortable wearing it? That’s all that really matters.
