The movementMiyota 8200, in plain words
The movement, in plain words
Ticino names more than one movement for the Big Pilot: Miyota 8200 and Seagull ETA 2824 clone. If the movement matters to you, check which one the seller sends before you buy.
On your wrist47 mm across, on a wrist your size
How it sits on your wrist
Set your wrist circumference to compare the 47 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 84% of that estimated width. Lug to lug is unknown, so no lug extent is drawn. Thickness is unknown, so no case height is drawn.
Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

Written reviews. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.
From reviews1 report
Owner found 47 mm case too large for his six-inch wrist, stock strap thin and stiff, blue hands painted rather than heat blued, and lume short-lived. Oversized crown was easy to wind. He later fitted a 22 mm strap.
