In Response To: Aqua Terra ()

: terra runs couple of second fast (
: synchronised it, and after couple of days it
: was 5 second fast) is that normal? or should

That's okay when brand new. Watches usually slow down slightly as they settle in to use.

: i be concerned? Second question is a bit
: foolish, how do i figure that 38mm is too
: big for my wrist or not? my wrist is
: 6.5" diameter. everybody i asked says
: it looks good, but i keep having doubt that
: it is too big.

If it looks good on you then it is fine.

This is not an uncommon thing the first time someone makes such a big purchase on a watch -- they fret the details way too much. Such doubts are entirely in your imagination. You are trying too hard to second guess your decision -- which is making you unnecessarily panic that you did the wrong thing.

Relax and enjoy your watch.
