Hey small wrist, you have to remember that the weight of the watch will sometimes cause it to slide down your wrist. This can be very annoying, but here's a trick; dab a small amount of saliva on your wrist under the watch. Slightly disgusting, but it works quite well at holding the watch in place. This will really only work well when the watch is correctly sized for your wrist. Bear in mind that your wrists swell up a little bit on warm days so be sure to get the bracelet snugly fitted, but not too tight. As mentioned above by others, try to get the sizing tools yourself. You will take greater care in sizing the bracelet than anybody else and the tools are handy since you, like me, will always have have to do a little trial-and-error before you get the right fit from your watch. Just remember,it IS do-able. Good luck.
