wrist check, should I stay away from 44s?

I’ve felt like I barely pull off these wonderful 44s. Recently I'm thinking I should keep smaller watches on my wrist, my flat wrist is a hair under 6.75†because of a motorcycle accident watches are most comfortable on my right. You think I should stay away from 44’s completely?

I’m shaking up my collection. New Sea Dweller, 42mm exp II and V3 Diver are incoming…thinking about 219 because of the height but if I keep a pam I can easily justify keeping everything else…

It looks fine.

Its all about the whole arm look, not just the wrist.

I've got about the same size wrist and find the Skyland Avenger a bit big on me for some occasions, but love the size of the SOSF and Tag Heuers. I think you are okay with 44s.

I too have a small wrist, find the 44mm looks to big when using standard rep straps. A good quality custom strap, makes all the difference.

Myself i recon if the watch lugs are the same size as your wrists width it looks good. 44 look fine on yours for sure.

6.5 here. Love the look of the 44mm's.

COMPLETELY agree about the strap which makes the difference.

I think those watches look good on yours. Keep them. Big watches look better :)

Looks great, mate. Doesn't overwhelm your wrist; and as another mate said, buy more -- then post the pics so we can see them all.

My wrist is about that size, and I have an upper limit of 44mm as a general rule.

Though i did notice if the watch is very flat I can get away with a bit more! :)

Enjoy the wearing of the watches
The Fashion Police are on Holiday, besides the fine isn't much even if they ticket you

You certainly have the arm for a 44mm so no worries. :)

I think it looks fine. I've got a small wrist also and wore a super avenger. Don't really worry about what folks think if i like it i wear it.
