Fit on 6–7 in wrists (6.5 in reference)
Fit: Moderate risk on a 6.5 in wrist. The 43.6 mm lug-to-lug is NOMOS’s figure.
The flat top of the wrist (usable span) is the width a watch can sit on without its lugs hanging over the edge.

| 6.0 in (152 mm) | 43.6 mm | 8.0 mm | Moderate risk: 43.6 mm is close to the flat top of a 6 in wrist (about 44.6 mm). |
| 6.5 in (165 mm) — reference | 43.6 mm | 8.0 mm | Moderate risk: 43.6 mm is just over 90% of the flat top of a 6.5 in wrist (48.35 mm before rounding). |
| 7.0 in (178 mm) | 43.6 mm | 8.0 mm | Low risk: 43.6 mm is under 90% of the flat top of a 7 in wrist (about 52.1 mm). |
