How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 39 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 70% of that estimated width. Lug to lug is unknown, so no lug extent is drawn.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

Lug to lug is not listed yet, so the drawing stops at the case.
