42mm what do you think,too big or not !!

Hi Guys,

I've been looking at the 216570 polar but I can't try one locally unless I drive 2hrs.

My wrist size is 7.25", I know the best thing to do is to try it in person and that every wrist is different , but just want to hear your opinion from guys that have or have tried both 216570 and any of the new Maxi case 40mm models, is there a big difference?

I had a 16570 for a few years and always found it a bit small compared to the bluesy I had previously.

This is how a 40mm maxi case looks on my wrist, so wondering if a 42mm Polar will be ok or too big!!

TIA.

I think you would be just fine with the Exp 2. I'd just be sure that it fits under your dress shirt cuffs if you wish to wear it with a suit and/or you wear your sleeves tighter.

BTW the LV fits you well

Not interested in a SD , I tried a SD4K before buying my Sub and didn't like the thickness of it so the 43mm should be at least as thick or thicker than the SD4k.

I think the EXP2 wears slimmer than the sub, despite the 42mm size.

Judging by the 40, you will have no issues with the 42 mate.....
