Navigating the Conflicting Reviews on the Watch
Let me preface by saying that I don’t typically write reviews, in fact this is the first. A lot of people say that, but there’s a point to it. I saw a lot of the reviews and many people were upset with the size of the watch, even being advertised as petite. The quality is great, it’s comfortable—I mean I don’t have complaints, and it’s very cheap for how good it works. But what about the size? I noticed that nobody mentioned the the actual measurement of their wrist, so when looking through the product reviews and pictures, it was kind of hard to tell if the complaints were legitimate or not. My wrist, measured normally is literally 6 inches. That puts me just above the lower-end 5.9 inch range of who this watch is supposed to be able to fit. The watch does not stretch from 5.9 inches to 7. whatever it is that is advertised for the highest end of the range. Instead it sits, I measured at just under that 7 inch number, so that those with a 7 inch wrist would find the watch well-fitting right out of the box. I saw a review from someone saying that they purchased the watch for their small child and were disappointed by the looseness. Others, including her, were upset that the watch was “not adjustable.” I took a look at the images by the company, and all things considered, especially since I had been looking for a dainty-looking watch very similar to this one, I purchased it.I with some tools my dad had watched a YouTube video and literally removed four links for it to be a comfortable fit, and bring it down to 6, maybe 6.1/6.2 inches for the space. It wasn’t difficult. It required a little bit of patience since the pieces are quite small. If you’re used to things like sewing or your fingers are nimble that helps. But, obviously, you don’t have to do it yourself. I just wanted to see for myself. I plan to take it to someone to close it back up, since, again, it requires some patience to be able to do that, but I can at least expect that it will be a little cheaper seeing as I’ve done most of the work.I know what it’s like to not have things fit—small waist, small wrist, etc. so I hope that this helps someone, especially when the reviews here are really confusing and seemingly contradictory given that no one has included any real measurements to be able to go off of. I think it’s a worthwhile purchase. It’s a very pretty watch and what I was looking for when I was trying to find a vintage-esque watch. It reads well if you can tell the time (it doesn’t have the tiny minute marks though), and I’m just pleased overall. For what I was expecting to pay for a watch, this definitely is value for your dollar.Anyways, time will tell with the rest of it (no pun intended). I’ll edit once I have the watch back and put together, though I don’t expect it to be a hassle, and I don’t see the watch being a problem in any other sense—that is, in terms of durability, but will update if that changes.Edit: I asked my dad to take it to the watch store for me. As far as I can tell, it was easy to put back together. I have it on my wrist as I write this, and no complaints. Make sure if you do this, you leave enough space for it to sit on your wrist comfortably. The price paid for the repair: $26.70. I think very fair for the watch. It’s definitely on the cheaper end for what it’s worth. The best to you guys.

Beautiful watch at a good price.
Usually, I would need to have links removed for a band to fit. But by measuring & reading review that stated the smaller number is the size & the larger one what it will stretch to it fit perfect. Also love the easy-to-read numbers.

Finally a Beautiful Watch That Fits!
This watch is giving me all the vintage vibes which is totally my aesthetic. I haven’t worn a watch in years after my secondhand skinny leather band timex completely broke and I struggled to find a replacement. It was literally the only adult watch I could find that would fit my extremely skinny wrists (5.5” around)—and even then, it wasn’t nearly as comfortable as this watch. I ordered the small and I can barely feel it on my wrist which is a huge plus. It does not move or shift like most watches in the past have done when I rotate my wrist or move my arm in any direction. It’s also not tight, which is key. The face is really easy to read even at a quick glance. I really don’t like watches with Roman numerals because it takes me a second to register what I’m looking at. With this watch the numbers are visibly clear and the typeface adds to the vintage flair.If you are like me with child-sized wrists, then definitely don’t hesitate. Would also make a wonderful gift!

Big for small wrists
It looks lovely and works! Only downside is it’s not adjustable for those with small wrists. I have to slide it down my arm to keep it from moving too much. I still wear it often despite, and I think it’s really cool that it hasn’t tarnished- even when I accidentally get water on it from washing my hands! It is also stretchy, so easy to take on and off.

Functional and so cute!
I absolutely love this watch. I was looking for an analog clock that looked classy and was comfortable on my wrist. I like that it stretches rather than clasps--would likely be helpful for those with limited mobility in their fingers.I've been wearing this almost every day and it has been working well, hasn't lost time at all. I purchased a medium, which was a bit too large for me, but I was able to remove some links to fit my wrist perfectly (note: there were no instructions for this, but I was able to figure it out on my own, so it's definitely possible if you are willing to try). I've gotten so many compliments on it and for the price point, I think it's absolutely worth it.
