I feel like you're describing me. I even felt a little embarrassed I'm questioning my purchase, which is not a small one.
I feel better now knowing that this is normal. Lol.

I'll post my experience too if it helps anyone. I have a size 14.8CM wrist. Was between 16/17 ultimately went with 16.
Size 16 (last picture when swollen at tightest you can see it kinda presses into me, first 2 in winter):
Size 17
Relevant factors for me:
- My forearms are meatier and stick out where as my wrist is small pictured below (size 16).
- I swell like crazy in the heat
- Originally had a size 16 small love for 3 years. Went with 16 to be consistent and stack so I didn't have to sell
- I hate bangles, even had my tennis bracelet shorted to be pretty fitted.
- Cannot stand when bracelets touch my palm
Ultimately a 16.5 would have been perfect for me as i well, but the 17 was WAY too big for my liking. So some of us have to choose the lesser evil depending on preference.

Thanks for the detailed pics @yayaisnan
For my watch, likewise I don't like it to sit near my palm. Most of the time, it sits right there on my wrist bone. I do have a pronounced wrist bone.
I have a very oval wrist and I must say love looks prettiest on a more rounded wrist.
Actually I had always imagined/wanted the love to sit below my wrist bone (meaning towards my body). That's why i have been staring at my photo with the 16 in store and doubting my purchase.

i think you should size down because you have a very flat arm unlike me and you are second guessing your 16. you should exchange it and try it on, there is no issue with exchanging several times if needed.. just dont scratch it !
Your experience is so similar to mine! I read your posts many times while deciding. My 17 went even lower than yours. I agree, I think Purrsey will enjoy smaller size more. I also like my watches fitted high
its so crazy how diff one size can be on some wrists!A quick run to the store.
Left/top is 15. Right/bottom is 16.
And when stacked with sm love in 15 too.

SA suggested I tried on both and walked around the store. In his view, he prefers me with 16 (of course he says ultimately it's wearer's preference/comfort), citing that having the bracelet resting on my palm, I won't feel it, compared to it resting below the wrist bone (size 15 the love doesn't cross over my wrist bone to the palm). I had to disagree the moment I walked around the store with 15. I could feel the weight with 16. But with 15, I really hardly feel it (which is to me, the main deciding factor). I love how 15 clinches to my arm, not crossing over the wrist bone, and that's exactly how I have been wanting the love to look/be sitting on me. I'm so delighted i exchanged it (luckily no need to top up difference as he said it's just only size change). So 15 is it!
I also asked if he could give me a ring pouch as I like to carry the screwdriver with me (just in case it needs to be tightened when out).

Hi all. I’m new to this. I got a classic love bracelet in 17. The SA suggested that size for me. I just went with it. Now two months later, it’s been very frustrating because it moves around so much. I would hate to lose money on it by reselling and getting smaller size. Do you think it looks to big on me. Should I get the 16? It goes down about 3.5 inches toward elbow and and inch into palm. Should I just get over it, ugh. I’ve measured my wrist at home and it’s between 14.5 to 14.75 on wrist bone. What do you guys think?

Ugh, so stressful. It turns all the way around on my wrist and at times it sits the narrow way. How does your 16 fit?

Mine is pretty snug, it's better to have more room but the 17 fit me similar to you it sounds. It was rotating on its own which i didn't like but the 16 is uncomf sometimes. Check out my pics on page 60
