Definitely the 17 - the 16 will be tight on a good day and cease circulation on a hot day.

Def the 17. My wrist shape ranges from about 15.8-15.2 from below to just above my wrist bone. I originally had an 18 and it was way too large. I sold it for a 17 which is a much better fit. Just purchased my second and couldn’t be happier. Neither of the bracelets are moving over each other and there is still a good bit of movement.

You did it?!? I haven’t been on the Cartier forum for a bit and missed this! What did you decide to get? Any pics?
Btw does your bracelet leave some marks on ur wrist after sleeping or like when it is pressed or hung on your wrist for too long? The inner protrude part of the screw always give me marks lol but the bangle is not like tight.
Hi, mine does that as well although it is not tight (my wrist is just above 14 cm and I chose the 16). It seems to slide up my arm quite a bit instead of staying where there would be enough space.

I did! Another yg. Haven’t posted pics bc life has been crazy. Will do soon!
Hi. I am recently the proud owner of a classic Love. I wanted for years and finally made the plunge. I found the information on this thread invaluable as 15.2CM wrist and unsure of the size. SA at Cartier immediately said 17. Been wearing since Christmas and think right decision except when using laptop and wish maybe up arm a little more, but then I think I wouldn’t be happy with looseness at wrist with 18. 16 definitely would be too close/tight. Been checking screws for movement and bought Loctite purple strength just in case.
I think everyone is right on with you needing a size 17. I just received the classic Love for Christmas and mine is 16cm and fits me absolutely perfectly! My wrist size is about 14 1/4cm. Hope this helps!!!
Cartier has a fast and set rule on the size one should get, however, I consider lifestyle. Too loose will annoy you when you sleep with it, type on your laptop and/or desk top, getting hooked on things like door hinges, exercise, and other activities. If you plan on stacking with another Love or other bracelets will it look wrong or too big, will it bunch up and tangle with other bracelets ? When wearing sleeves, will it look nice with sweaters, shirts, etc. ? Some like the Love to be able to fall below the wrist knots when hand is down, some like the bracelet to stay above wrist knots when hand is down. Do you gain or lose weight frequently and or dramatically ? You don't want it snug... there is no room for growth and it should naturally move up and down your arm without you having to force it. I think if you have the Love bracelet on and the smallest part of your wrist, you are able to get one finger through... it is the perfect fit.
for your consideration... I posted my stacks on a previous thread... shouldn't be too hard to find, only did it last month.

I just went down the rabbit hole on this thread!!! I just bought my first Love bangle (skinny) in Rome! I originally bought the 17 rose gold skinny but wore it around the hotel room and it just felt too big. It went 3 inches below my wrist when I held my arm up. I don’t like a lot of movement because I work with my hands. I had such bad anxiety about it I went back and my very sweet SA exchanged it for a 16. It fits snug more like a watch. I still have anxiety that it’s too tight because she said it might annoy me bit I think once I’m used to it... my main concern is that I want to wear 3 together (goals) and if I stay with this size I have no wiggle room for them. Once I go back to the states I can’t exchange again so this feels like a huge decision. Any words of comfort.
