C63 Sealander GMT straps/bracelets with small wrists
C63 Sealander GMT straps/bracelets with small wrists
I really like the new CW watches. But due to my very small wrists (diameter approx. 15 cm), I'm not sure whether the CW straps would fit me. I would be particularly interested in the Bader bracelet (according to bracelet resizing, the smallest diameter can only be set to 15.5 cm) and the hybrid rubber strap in black. Can anyone help me with his/her experience?

Re: C63 Sealander GMT straps/bracelets with small wrists
I have similarly sized wrists (6 inch, maybe 15-15.25cm) and I have the C63 GMT. The bader bracelet works fine for me, with one link to spare.
I’ve had a couple of the hybrid straps. They are just slightly loose even on the last hole, which might be fine for some but I like my watches tighter. Most CW straps are like that for me, except for the XS short length leather straps.
Most of my straps are aftermarket, bought specifically for their shorter length.
Hope that helps!

Similar size wrists here. I've got the C63 36mm, and the Bader bracelet fits me just like @ajax87 says. No experience with other CW bracelets or straps.
Re: C63 Sealander GMT straps/bracelets with small wrists
Considering the price of the CW strap offerings, I would have expected them to offer different lengths rather than a standard length. I dislike straps that I buckle to the last hole and then have a lot of redundant strap to keep in check with strap keepers, and when I'm reading my watch, I'm seeing excess strap sticking off my wrist. This is the only reason why I lean towards bracelets. However, there are third party straps available sized for smaller wrists or that can be custom ordered, all for not much more than a CW standard strap. Pity though, because I like their hybrid rubber straps.

^^^^ @maclink
CW has, in the past, offered both shorter (XS) and longer (XL) straps, in addition their standard length, but over time found that neither of these lengths were good sellers and they were dutifully discontinued.
However, with the introduction in the past year or so of some 36mm watches to their range, they reintroduced a limited number of XS straps e.g. a 20mm Camel vintage oak, listed as 180mm length as opposed 206mm for a standard strap.
