Hi everyone....I'm seeking some assistance with sizing and strap options. I'm traveling (HI) and stopped into Hermes to get a new watch (I have a very old one...V 2). I tried on the 7 in a 45 mm because I really like bigger faces, and hate to have to put on my glasses to see what the heck the watch is telling me :hrmm:. However, I have small wrists (think Cartier JUC size 16 since that's the best I can do with no measuring tape at the moment). Every iteration of straps was too big around my wrist with the smallest hole used. No way they'd add a hole (I'd have to do that after, which is no big deal to leather). How is everyone who has small wrists but wearing the 45 size dealing with this? And what about the rubber strap? I use the rubber for working out on my old one.....I think that same strap will work, even if not optimal, on the 45, correct? It's been so long that I've bought one of these....is it possible to get the watch with the leather strap as standard or just the rubber one? Can the DT strap fit a small wrist in the 45? Sorry so many questions, I'm planning to go back today and figure out my configuration. And thanks in advance :flowers: I've been searching through this thread and haven't found the answer yet.

41 or the 45 are your options. I picked the 41 because I'm also Cartier size 16 or even 15. As to going bigger screen I get you, but the 45 will be too big size wise on your wrist so I recommend the 41. Besides in the 7, the screen is pushed all the way to the sides, so you get bigger real estate for your eyes.

Also, in the 41, do try out the new Hermes Double Tour. These leather bands run extremely small. So this time around I'm able to find bands that work beautifully on me.

PS: 45 does not have double tour leather strap options.

Here's mine.

Thank you, that looks very nice on you!

I somehow didn't see your reply and after lots of fiddling around with options I got the 45. My wrist is not quite as small as yours. My friend has the 45 and she's just slightly smaller than me and it works for her (tried it and liked it). I always found the smaller size just a bit too small, as I wear a men's Rolex daily and am used to that. Probably should have added that info to my original (already lengthy) query.

Also they DO have a double tour for the 45, albeit with a thicker strap. I just didn't like the colors it came in at the store. Also the thin strap meant for the 41 can be attached (we tried in store) on the 45, but it "technically" isn't wide enough at the attachment points. They were pretty scarce in straps at the store. I havent set it up yet but I'm going to put my old 40mm sport strap on the watch and see if it locks in. I believe it does since that's the configuration my friend wears. The 45 sport strap I will put another hole in once I get home.

My husband was seriously eyeing it when I showed it to him, so worst case scenario if i find I don't like the bigger size I'll give it to him and get the smaller one.

I was giving up my much loved Cartier for a tech watch so I still wanted one that looked really nice and bought the my first H Apple Watch 7 (41mm with gold strap since its a perfect neutral for me because it matches my skin tone - also easily available). I'm currently loving the look of the Navy band as well but don't really need it just yet. Does anyone know if Navy is a standard color of H that is consistently available or should I snag it while it's available since I know they switch some of the colors with seasons?

Also, when do they tend to release new colors?

Thought I’d post a few photos of my new 45mm with the old sports strap from my 38mm.

It fits just fine! not optimal where the attachment point is but certainly doable. It locks in at center.

I’ll have additional holes put in to the strap that came with the watch when I get home from vacation
