Thank you! My wrist is very flat so the measurement is tricky.

That said, I do not believe in "minimum sizes" or stuff like that ... you should wear what makes you smile and the hell with everything else.

Minimum Wrist Size for AP ROO

7" will be good to go. I have a 6.5" flat wrist and feel the ROO fits me fine. Just FYI the straps were not tightened all the way for the pics.

Minimum Wrist Size for AP ROO

Hey CWIN. I'm impressed. Both of those models look nice on you. I have a 6.5 inch / relatively flat wrist. Looking to find a 15300. I tried the 15400 and thought it large.


Maybe I need to revisit the 42mm ROO model / diver as well. Something on a strap.

I was in the same boat as you but couldn't find the right deal on a 15300 NIB so I ended up just going with the 15400. I thought it was too big at first also, but it's definitely grown on me and now I feel it looks just fine. I'm pretty happy with my decision although if my wrist we any smaller I would have just held out longer or bought a used 15300.

Thanks.
My flat wrist slots in at under 6.5" and I can barely pull off the 42 ROO.

I agree with the others who mentioned it's more about wrist shape. I have a 7" wrists, but they're more thick top to bottom than wide side to side so the 42mm looks best on me.

6.3-inch flat wrist here. I felt the 42mm ROOs too large for my wrist, with visible gaps at both strap ends. I went for the 39mm RO 15300ST that was perfect. BTW, for me the ROOs were not only large (in diameter and lug-to-lug distance), but also very thick as well. No photos, I'm afraid :(
