How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 38 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 68% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 5.8 mm inside each model edge.

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

From owners1 report

  • Owner nooski found the 38 mm case easy to wear and praised clear AR sapphire, but called the lume weak. Report describes early VH31 configuration, before current sandblasted hands/case change.
