216750 on a “smaller” wrist

My wrist is the same size and I love my black 216570!

Wow! Looks incredible on you. Truly goes to show that it’s not just about wrist size as a number. I’d say you wear the 216570 better with a 6.3” wrist than many do with a 7”. Cheers!

But I also tend to think wrist size alone is a fairly meaningless measurement when evaluating a watch, wrist shape and overall size of the wearer is probably more meaningful.

Honestly when considering the 6 digit trio of Sub, Exp II, and GMT, I thought the Exp II wore the best because of it's super flat caseback.

This is an important consideration for me because I find the gmt way more comfortable than the sub.

Are you saying the Polar is more comfortable than the GMT?

It's not really true that there is a noticeable difference between the 216570 and the 226570 on the wrist. Anyone who claims this can also feel temperature differences of 1 degree.
It depends on the contact surface on the wrist and personal preferences. If you like it and it feels good then wear the EX2 and it doesn't matter what others say.

Thank you. The thing is, when looking at a watch from the perspective of yourself, most watches seem big even with no lug overhang. They need to be seen from several distances with the arm in regular position for proper impression of how the watch really looks like on somebody. I try to check from 1m or 2m distance in the mirror before making a conclusion.

In any case, there is no lug overhang with this one, hell I even pull of a 44mm Panerai in a classic Betarini case without lug overhang. :)
