Sky Dweller Wearers - how big are your wrists?

Please help! Can a 7" wrist pull off the stunning sky dweller? I may not really be able to try mine on before pulling the trigger on it.

I currently own and wear a Sub date ceramic and an AP 15400. Both fit great.

THANK YOU!

My wrist is 7 and the sky dweller gets the majority of my wrist time because I feel it wears well.

Don't worry, because of the shape of the case anybody can wear a SkyD

Unfortunately these days it’s more about the size of your wallet than the size of your wrist that determines wearability

I have a relatively skinny wrist, a bit below 7” and I feel very comfortable wearing my Sky-D.

Go for it and I’m sure you’ll be fine... And happy!

I have a 7" oval wrist. There is a difference between trying it on to admire it and wearing it in the real world. My assessment from a try on in my AD, was that for me, the Sky Dweller will fit perfectly and comfortably. It remains to be seen how it wears day in, day out, but I have a feeling that this watch will be the perfect size, weight and shape for me.

Thank you, my friend. It’s the black dial, white gold on black crocodile strap version. It’s my favorite combination but I believe it is now discontinued.

About a 7 inch wrist, maybe a tad smaller. I wear my Sky-Dweller with one link removed.

Yes you can. I have 6.75” wrists and have no problem with my Sky Dweller.

If you can wear a 15400 you’ll be fine on the SkyD. It’s more about the total package between size/proportions and your overall wrist shape vs just your measurements that translates to comfort.

Skydweller definitely has a lot of presence. You guys think that they would ever make a smaller version of this watch (ie. 40MM)?

Frankly with a 6.5in wrist I felt it was oversized.

Some good statistics here, should try to make this into a poll so the data can be aggregated.
