I'm really wanting to pull the trigger on one of these but what are they thinking with the length of the band they're using for the side that directly attaches the buckle/clasp? I'm referring to the "shorter side" of a conventional watch strap that is attached to the buckle. Even the short version of this is about 91mm whereas the regular is about 102mm.

In comparison, the average length for the "shorter side" of a watch strap that I've seen is 70-80mm. For my 7" wrist, the measurements of this rubber strap make it feel like the buckle is going to rest too far to the inside part of my wrist. Am I crazy?
Its a deployant clasp, not buckle & tang, so the 12:00 side is longer. Works fine on my 7" wrist.

Yes that makes sense, thanks - I also wasn't thinking about how tucking the longer part of the band under the 12 o'clock strap when its closed will add thickness requiring additional length for the shorter side of the band.

Speaking of thickness, does anyone know how thick the band is?
