Drove an hour out of the way to try some ROO's on in Dallas, but with all the plastic it's kind of hard to tell the fit. Guess I'll just have to buy one and try it out.

What do you guys think?

Wrist is 6.5

My 15400 fits fine although I would trade it for a Jumbo.

The panda and bee look a little big for you but hard to really tell with the plastic on and the straps loose. The 15400 you have looks great.

Bigbadbns · 28 February 2013, 06:05 PM

Mike has a 6.5" wrist and he owns both the panda and bee and they look great on him.

Here's my 6.2" wrist with RGRC

mspeed76 · 28 February 2013, 06:11 PM

i think u can pull it off.. it will fit alot better with an XS Diver rubber strap

benlee · 28 February 2013, 06:13 PM

Looks too big to me. Just my opinion. I think I have a 6.5" wrist and the ROO looks way too big. Actually, it is not a matter of wrist size but the arm's overall "chunkiness", not sure how to put it. A bigger arm makes ROO fits better and looks better.

This is me trying out a ROO, just looks wierd.

honeybee80 · 28 February 2013, 07:10 PM

I like the First one.. (panda?) on you. It looks ruggard. :)

kilyung · 28 February 2013, 11:18 PM

It's really about the shape of your wrist. I have a pretty flat wrist so it sits well. Try looking in a full length mirror also, close up shots don't always tell the true story.

Agreed, a full length mirror helps more than close up shots.

jmusser3r · 1 March 2013, 12:26 AM

I think both the Bee and Panda look like they fit your wrist just fine. If you were to have them strapped to your wrist it looks like it would be about a perfect fit

Submarino · 1 March 2013, 12:38 AM

Too big IMHO.

waspy1 · 1 March 2013, 12:53 AM

I'd say they look rather big. I also have 6.5 inch wrists, I tried a 44mm FC ROO two days ago and it looked like a cartoon watch. My 5402 jumbo fits nicely though.

h999r · 1 March 2013, 01:23 AM

6.5" looking best on 40mm or 42mm IMHO.

B. Doggy · 1 March 2013, 01:44 AM

Hard to tell from those pics, but they're teatering on being too big.

NadAn · 1 March 2013, 01:59 AM

WHY are they making these watches so big ??
seems like ALOT of people having troubles with it !
I personally think that 42mm is as far as they should go. Looks good on a big wrist, and for the smaller wrists it would just be the limit !

only my 2ct

///armin · 1 March 2013, 02:19 AM

Don't get something you have a doubt on.

slowhand · 1 March 2013, 02:19 AM

Really hard to tell from those pics.. with the strap loose and all

Have mine on a 6 inch wrist, and it's comfortable with a short strap..

Wrist shape and strap is key IMO

frch1104 · 1 March 2013, 02:49 AM

Based on the pictures alone the Panda and Bee looks a little big, but most watches look big from that view, you really need to se a picture from a second persons view.

s14roller · 1 March 2013, 03:03 AM

If strapped properly, they would fit fine. Case more or less fits within your wrist

m6894 · 1 March 2013, 03:26 AM

Thanks for the input! Next time I will try a full length mirror.

As always, the king enabler is 100% correct... My wrists aren't overly big (7.5") but my arms are probably a lil larger then the average sized arm, thus making watches appear smaller then they are.
So, get in a full length mirror and check them out again, chances are you'll be happy with the fit.

It is 42mm they just wear way bigger than that. I have no issue with a 44.5 speedy 9300. ROO wear like a 45mm

dpkong · 1 March 2013, 03:36 AM

Pictures taken close to the watch always makes the head look larger than the wrist. A shot from a distance can give a better perspective.

I think the 42mm ROOs can wear on a 6.5" wrist with the right strap.

LOL a little bigger? I am in the gym 3 times a week but my 15" arm probably won't swing the look that much. :)

I agree the close up snaps just exaggerate the size.

fminus · 1 March 2013, 04:37 AM

if you spent all that time driving you should of removed the plastic! From what I see it fits!!!

TSW · 1 March 2013, 04:41 AM

Hard to tell if not fitted correctly.

iLLGT2 · 1 March 2013, 05:05 AM

Does look a little big, however, the strap doesn't look like your proper size, and you'd need an XS for a snug fit. It will make the watch appear smaller too :)
