I too used to belong to the school of thought that a 44 mm GS sport watch is too much for my 17 cm wrist.
But over the years I had the opportunity to try on the SBGA029/229 on several occasions.
And every time I was amazed how well and comfortably it fit my wrist.

Some years ago I came very close to getting one but decided for the SLA017 instead.

However, recently I bought a 44.5 mm sports GS and am wearing it constantly. It fits like a dream.
The L-L corresponds with my 41 mm JLC watch and it wears as such.

The bezel measures 43.1 mm and although it shows as a large watch it stays perfectly within my norm of what I can wear.

This is coming from someone who loves his 36mm Rolex TOG.

Also, I used to own a AP ROO 42mm and that one was definitely too large for me. I tried to love it but the L-L was just too much.

So, I wouldn't dismiss these large sport watches from GS. I have no idea if and when they'll ever release a small size. I fear they'll stick with the size they think a sport watch should be and look like. And honestly, I can agree with them. They make a large watch wear perfectly fine for most everyone.
