You just need some time to get used to it. 7" isn't a particularly small wrist. When I first started wearing a modern sport watch, it seemed huge, but now it seems normal. The downside is that any 36mm or below vintage pieces you have may feel really tiny when you go back to them. 🙄
Another option would be to consider the previous model (glossy non-wave dial, solid case back with the hippocampus medallion and the 2500D movement). It’s it a bit narrower at 41mm and also a bit thinner. I actually had an opportunity to compare it with the new version and decided that I liked the older model better. Anyway, here’s what it looks like on my 7.5” wrist.
Hi all! At 42mm, is it too big for my 7-inch wrist? (Wrist-shot attached.)
I'm used to smaller watches. Should I consider a 39.5 Planet Ocean instead? I do like the price point and the technical aspects of the 300. Please let me know what you think!
I gotta say, the no-waves dial is a nice clean look!
You will get used to it

I have both the previous non wave dial and the current wave dial as well as a 7 inch wrist 😀 the previous model is indeed going to wear significantly smaller - you should be fine with either just a matter of preference. The 42mm looks great on your wrist in the picture! Sometimes it will feel heavy and maybe a tad large but it is so well done the majority of the time you will feel it’s sized just right!
