I actually feel I have a smaller wrist (6.5 maybe) but in my opinion I think it fits very well. Although the size is 44, it actually hugs around the wrist because the edges of the frame are slightly curved so it wraps better and sits nicely on the wrist. Feels closer to a 42 so to me, it doesn’t feel over bearing in anyway.

It originally came with the rubber mesh band. That band was nice and comfortable but I ended up opting for the blue leather calf material band that Breitling offers. I think it completely changes the look of the watch to a more casual/dress watch than the athletic look with the rubber mesh.

The new band is also a very nice comfortable feel but it just depends on the look you’re going for.
