Re: Aqua Terra
In Response To: Aqua Terra ()

: I had couple of questions ( one foolish though). My aqua

Remember, there are only foolish answers.

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

Your watch is running better than +2.5 secs/day, which is well within its specifications. No need to worry.

: 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.

I think that's perfectly fine. You'll find in this forum that people with the same size wrist as yours are very happy with watches that are even larger than yours. The ultimate judge is you, if your watch feels comfortable for you, then it is a fit.

: everybody i asked says
: it looks good, but i keep having doubt that
: it is too big.

Based on your 6.5" wrist, I would trust your friends' opinion :-) But don't forget, you are the ultimate referee.
