Ti44 & ROO 42 weight?

Anyone have the weight figures for these 2? I've tried the Titanium one and feels slightly lighter than 42, can anyone confirm this?

And can a 16cm wrist wear it comfortably, as I am trying to decide between a TI44 and the Elephant 42?

I think that watch (especially the Ti44) will look nothing short of ridiculous on a 6.25” wrist. Sorry, just being honest.

OP is in luck. Tim's wrists are that size exactly (6 1/3 inches and 16cm in circumference) as he reminds in every video. So just watch some watchuwant you tube reviews as im sure he has done one for those watches. At least you can see what it looks like on other people even if you have tried it on yourself as its a different perspective.

weight is a non issue if it doesnt fit.

That’s really odd, I’ve seen multiple Watchuwant videos and never knew that about Tim!

What do you guys think? The reason I am “forcing” to wear the 44 is because I often scratch my watches, and the ceramic bezel is a big plus. And I do believe that the ti44 is slightly lighter, and more comfortable, even though I haven’t worn the ti44 on long period to give it a fair review vs the 42

Watch closed in first pic looks fine. The second pic is hard to tell since the strap isn't buckled so can't get a good look at it. Plus the pic quality ain't the greatest... ;-)

Again, since you’re seeking opinions, I reiterate my previous statement. The bezel (not even the true lug to lug) is honestly almost the entire breadth of your wrist. And the case looks almost as big as your entire hand. People can say ‘wear what you like!’, but anybody who says that fits you proportionally is flat out lying.

Not trying to sound rude, just being honest.
