First post here under the AP section and just looking for some thoughts from you all...

Is the 41mm Royal Oak a pretty comfortable piece in comparison to the classic Rolex and Omega diver watches? I believe the RO model numbers starts with 15400... thanks in advance for your feedback.

Submarino · 6 February 2014, 02:43 AM

Extremely comfortable as long as you have a wrist of at least 7.25" in circumference.

s14roller · 6 February 2014, 03:26 AM

I have a mid 6in wrist and find the 15400 comfortable. Keep in mind this is the same or smaller than the Omega divers.

Colin W · 6 February 2014, 05:04 AM

If you have small wrist will still be comfortable if your wrist is quite flat across the top where the watch case sits.

That's my wrist size too and love mine. The 'shape' of the wrist matters too.

Yes it's a comfortable watch, but you do want to try it on as shape of your wrist will dictate comfort.

Hairdude1 · 6 February 2014, 06:02 AM

Very comfortable. To be sure try them on at your AD

subtona · 6 February 2014, 06:12 AM

15202 most comfortable watch i ever wore.

00pumpkin · 6 February 2014, 06:15 AM

My 15400 is very comfortable. Nothing is as comfortable as my Daytona though.

woodsworth · 6 February 2014, 06:43 AM

My ROC is too comfortable ;D

GarageBMW · 6 February 2014, 07:34 AM

My 15300 is super comfy, far better than many other watches I have or owned. Wrist size is 6.75

Soly20 · 6 February 2014, 09:04 AM

I have 7" wrist and my 44mm is very comfortable.

Great shot and love that dial!

Patrick Lim · 6 February 2014, 10:13 AM

The RO wears well and 1.5 links is great for those who may not find the bracelet fitting the wrist size

VICI · 6 February 2014, 10:34 AM

It's is a very comfortable watch. Add a link or take off some, the bracelet fits and looks superb!

improviz · 6 February 2014, 12:15 PM

Very comfortable and is superbly well balanced, does a great job staying centered on wrist.

Very comfy. Sits low on the wrist but has great presence. You don't forget it's there. The case back is not thick and of course shows the beautiful movement.

Interesting, i didnt realize this until you said it, i believe you nailed it!!!
I agree, it stays centered, like no other watch i have worn!
This is why i never seem to want to take it off

CWIN · 6 February 2014, 02:02 PM

I have a 6.5" flat wrist and own a 15400. It's comfortable to me.

Thanks! Yeah, it and the GO have fantastic balance; they both just love to stay centered...

I'm with you on not taking it off, since I got this it's been a fight to wear anything else, it's just mesmerizing!

wisguy · 6 February 2014, 04:12 PM

Not in my opinion...

I could never fin my 15300 very comfortable and the 15400 even with an expensive half link does not fit quite right.

Try it on and have the AD fit it to your size, then decide.

My 6.5" wrist finds the 15300 more comfortable than the 15400. However it's all about wrist shape.

AK797 · 7 February 2014, 04:45 AM

On strap is also comfortable.

Yes, feeling exactly the same with my 15300. much better on wrist than my Sub.

TC (Houston) · 7 February 2014, 09:08 PM

Very comfortable. I often forget I'm wearing it.

simongpaez · 8 February 2014, 12:22 AM

It is comfortable but if you are used to Rolex you will feel it, not because of the weight but the shape, my Daytona is pretty much "invisible" and this one I do notice.

jolimont · 8 February 2014, 02:43 PM

pretty comfortable, but I find my 14060m better due to microadjustments

the 15300 does not have that, and with a 1.5 link, in cold weather it's is very comfortable but on a hot Australian summers day like today, gets a bit tight

stockjock1975 · 9 February 2014, 12:10 AM

Take this for what it's worth, but I personally didn't find mine to be all that comfortable. Granted, I have very thin wrists. The piece just always seemed very top-heavy and felt unstable. I haven't found that to be the case with Patek or ALS. Based on all the very positive comments in this thread, I would say I am in the minority. With that said, be sure to try one on at an AD before you spend some big money on a piece that might not work for you.

The problem with this idea is that I doubt any ADs are going to size a bracelet before you buy it. When I tried mine on, the whole thing was wrapped in plastic, head and bracelet included.
