[poll] Average wrist size...

[Bronzy]

Hey guys, as you may know I've recently gotten into making watch straps for (mostly) Panerai watches... Just wondering what your wrist size is? I'd like to know what sizes are most commonly needed around here...

I read this on a site:
115/75 fits the average wrist; 6 ½ to 7 ¼ inches.

If your wrist is..........6.25 to 6.75…110/65 is your size

..............................7.0 to 7.5 needs a 120/75

..............................7.5 to 8.0 inches needs a 125/80

I'm wondering if that info is fairly accurate for our group.

i like my straps 120/75 but i'm roughly about 6.5..

 

[G30]

135/80, comfortably. I have an 8" wrist "dehydrated".

Nothing smaller than 140/85 will do...

For me the only important size is the short one.
The long is just how long tail You want.

My perfect (buckle in the middle of the wrist) short is 75mm.

Depending of the look Im after the long end is 115-130 for me

Im with klockis on this one! The short part is the one that matters. For me, I like the strap to be 130-145/75 (I like to have the long part quite long)

I don't like the buckle at the middle. So for my 8.25" wrist the short side is 90-100, depends on the thickness of the strap. The long side is 150.

Hmmm, I was expecting this to look more like a bell curve, interesting, but I suppose this all comes down to personal preference anyway...

Thanks for the feedback guys!

130/125/120 - 75 .....

 

[Pakz]

125-80 most of the times...
wrist is about 7.75" and the fit's about perfect.

I'd say, that corresponds nicely to what you've read on this site of yours...

small wrist, usually 120/75 or 120/80, I prefer to have a longer tail in the straps.

 

[levelmanroger]

My wrist is just under 8". I wear my straps @ 85/130-140

 

[goin6633]

130/80 , but my wrist is thin under 6.5 .
Just love longer strap .

I have 7" 1/2 and I hate it on my watch when the second loop is just loose there not holding anything in.

 

[theromulus]

140/85 for me 8.5" wrist.

 

[Bronzy]

This poll has rounded out nicely

Thanks everyone for the input

My wrist is about 7.5" and I usually order 130/85.

I agree with the others that the short side is more important to me than the long side. I like the buckle position on an 85mm short-side strap. The long side could be anywhere between 115 and 130, honestly. I wear the OEM PAM comfort rubber strap on my 000 all the time and the 115 long side isn't horrible.
