·The important measure for how well the watch wears on your wrist is not the case size, but the lug-to-lug distance. In this case, the full size (41 mm) Seamaster Pro actually wears like a smaller case watch because the distance is 47 mm. This is the same as my 39mm Speedmaster FOIS, and only a little larger than the 38.5mm case Aqua Terra, which is around 46.5 mm or so I believe.
You should really try one one to make sure it won’t fit before buying a mid-size sight unseen (although the Aqua Terra is gorgeous). When I bought my first modern Seamaster back in 2004, I was convinced I had to get a mid-size, but when I tried the full-size on, it fit perfectly. That’s the one I bought. My wrists are just a tad over 6.5”.
