Small wrist (6,5 inch) [~16,5 cm] vs Fenix 7s

Hello.

Is Fenix 7s (42 mm) too small for my 6,5 inch (~16,5 cm) wrist and should I upgrade to regular fenix 7 (47 mm) ?

Taking into consideration your Fenix 7S is end-to-end on your wrist, the Fenix 7 may not fit as well.

If you can, try it out in the shop. F7S thickness is (about) the same as regular F7 which makes it look bulky. It's nice to have bigger screen and bigger battery.

I have a bigger wrist and still prefer the size and weight of 7s

It's simply more comfortable:)

I have the one from the Amazon for a couple of months and no issues at all. Taking it off every day at least twice, before shower. Washing with a watch after running...

Thank you! I am 5ft 5in tall, 118lbs. (a skinny lad lol). Funny enough I had the epix gen 2 before and went to try on the fenix 7xSS, I showed friends pictures and most couldn't tell the difference in size between the two. I convinced myself and said screw it and sold my epix 2 and got the fenix 7xSS. Again, only problems i have came across is just wearing it with long sleeves, sleeping took maybe 4-5 nights of adjusting to sleeping with such a big watch. The biggest game-changer was the nylon band I got on amazon. The watch felt so much lighter. I work in retail at Lululemon, and most people that come in are active people and have complimented my watch, I often see others wearing garmin watches too and make a conversation based off of that. All in all, if you feel comfortable in the watch then who cares what others think. I never thought I would be rocking a 51mm watch, but I said screw it and don't regret my decision.

Found a 20 mm nylon strap for my Fenix 7S and it arrived today. Damn that feels so good! Super comfortable. Not too tight not too loose, just perfect. I think I reduced the weight almost to nothing. Had to squeeze the strap in a bit because it does not go trough that easy and I was worried if velcro somehow detatch the watch would easily fall out but it wont be the case. Velcros also seem solid. This nylon strap was a super tip. Thanks guys. Watch that is already well fited for me got even better! Absolutley loving this!

So I found a store that I had a chance to see how regular 7 would fit me. I bought 7S first and slept + trained with it for like 3 weeks. Having 7 regular size for a few moments made me realize that sure it looks nice but it wouldnt be the same level of comfort as 7S.

Took some photos of regular 7 on me. Here is how it looked:
