    Oh yeah you definitely have to open your hand. Depending on how your arm muscles are from a clinched fist to a splayed hand there could be a huge difference. I wasn’t sure if you measure it on the wrist bone or right behind it

    16,5 cm = 6,5 inch here. Waiting for a 33 mm Casio and 38 mm Seiko 5 in the mail. My current 40 mm feels like the limit, but maybe 42 mm could work, too? Not sure... I'd like to try some in a store, but they are pretty intimidating, to be honest...
