It looks tight and the screws almost look like they’re digging into your wrist in one of the pics so I think you should size up. You don’t have much wiggle room should your wrist swell and I think after you’ve been wearing it for a while you might find that it feels a bit too restrictive and perhaps even claustrophobic. After owning this bracelet and wearing it 24/7 for the past year and a half, I think the safest bet is to size up if you’re in between sizes. I’ve found Cartier SAs usually recommend going for a very fitted look but it’s not always the most comfortable option in the long run when you take your lifestyle into consideration (especially if you have an active life).
I am also struggling with what size to choose in small (thin) love bracelet. I seem to be in between 17/18.
My wrist measures 16cm or 6.25" and Cartier size 17 fits good but at times feels and looks a bit too snug (depends on the viewing angle). And I kind of wish it would slide further up my arm (towards the shoulder direction), but it stops 2" after my wrist bone and doesn't slide further up the arm. I like that it sort of gets stuck on my wrist without sliding down to my palm unless I purposely want to shake it enough to make it slide all the way down or just move it there.
I went to try size 18 of small love and while it nicely slides higher up my arm (I like the look), it doesn't get stuck on my wrist as 17 does, so 18 slides down to my palm each time I move my hand down at my side. Not sure if it'll become annoying.
Still wondering if I am better off with size 17 or go for 18?
Attached some pictures here , but the look varies from different angles and so size 17 it sometimes looks fine, sometimes too snug. What to do? Size 18 is probably too big. Size 17 is good but at times snug.
What do you guys think?

I think 18 looks too loose whereas 17 sits just right!
I would go with the 18. I think leaving 1 cm is too snug. I prefer at least 1.5 cm, which I have read is a comfortable fit. Cartier always seems to want you to go with that snug fit. I reserve the snug fit for men, not women. I was advised the snug fit over the phone by Cartier as well, but I used the wrist sizer from the Cartier site and went against what I was advised and am very happy.
My wrist is the same size as you and I went with the 18cm. No regrets! I don't like too snug fit either and 18cm is perfect!
I’m personally between size 16 and 17 and went for the 16. I contemplated the sizes recently before I added another bracelet but I’m happy with my choice. I didn’t like how low it hit my inner palm. Don’t hesitate to go back to try it on a few times
Thank you for sharing your experience. It helps hearing your thoughts and personal comfort level with various sizes.
So I went back to try size 18 again. I do love the range that it has sliding from wrist to arm, but I can't make it stay above my wrist, it just falls down below my wrist every time I lower my hand. So while I do love the wider range of movement, I am afraid the constant falling down movement might get to be annoying after a while. No way to dock it up on my wrist.
So thinking to stick with size 17 probably. At least it docks itself above my wrist. There is some movement up and down from the wrist to the arm, just the range isn't as much as with size 18. Wanted to let you guys know what I thought after trying 18 and 17 again. Maybe this will help someone as well in the future.
Same thing for me in between 2 sizes went with the smaller one. Didn’t like how the bigger one hit my palm. The smaller size doesn’t move as much so it stays in place and doesn’t get banged up so much. It’s all personal preference in the end. Glad you are happy with your decision. I don’t think you will regret it
