·Roger that. So you think the 39.5 PO will look good on my wrist?
41 is almost too big
39.5 probably looks just right

·Also the 39.5mm is only like 14mm thick or something close to that, so the watch should stay decently proportioned.

·I think it's smaller. I've read that the 300MC is 15mm but I don't own either and can't confirm for sure.
Is that thinner than the 300mc?

·All of these wrist shots miss the point, IMO. How big are your hands? How big are you? How do you dress? Do you give 2 sh!ts what anyone else thinks? Etc, etc, etc. Stand back, look in a full length mirror, and make a decision. And then never think about the size of the watch again.

·To me regardless of wrist or watch size , if the watch feels right when you try it on ,then its the right watch .

·One thing you have to remember is not what others think of how the watch looks on you but how you feel when you wear the watch...
It is definitely correct to ask about what is the general consensus but that is all it is and honestly... It could be worse, is it bigger than it should be? Yes. Is it ridiculously bigger than it should be? No.

·I always say take a photo of the watch on your arm via reflection in a mirror, or have someone take a photo from 5-6 feet away. If it looks too big or too small in the photo, that is a better representation of how it will wear vs looking at it from 18" away or a cell phone photo from 1-2 feet away.
This is why I don't wear a watch smaller than 40-42mm (1st > 2nd photo). In the 3rd photo I'm wearing a 45.5mm Omega Planet Ocean 9300 (during a Bike Tour in Victoria BC during a port call on an Alaskan Cruise).

Depends on the watch.

·I tried on the 8900 yesterday and I am torn and have been for sometime between this and the seamaster 300 the only issue I found was the thickness height of the watch I felt the fit was very snug for a watch of 43.5 mm. The watch seemed to curve round my wrist.

·The 300 is borderline too big, IMO. You can pull it off but think you might want to look at watches under 40mm.
The PO is definitely WAY too big. I think it would be a big mistake. Look especially at the thickness:

·Hi guys, I really need your help here 😀
I tried on this Planet Ocean 8900 (43.5mm) and wanted to know if you guys think it's too big for me (my wrist is about 6.5 inches). I'm not sure if the 8800 (39.5mm) version might be better for me. Note that I intend to get this watch with a steel bracelet.

I also tried on the Seamaster 300 which is 41mm. Would be glad to know if you you think it fits me better / it looks better overall.

Thanks so much!
It’s a very personal thing - How it feels and looks to you - but personally I think both the 43 and 41 are too big. 39.5 would be nice.
