I haven't seen it in person myself but I spent a bunch of time looking at other Carrera's that are of similar size (43mm). I too have a small wrist but I actually liked how that size looked on my arm. I struggled with the second hand movement too but the more I watched it (no pun intended
) on the watch I was actually able to see in person, the more I thought it made the watch feel a little different and unique.
In the end, I decided I liked it a lot and it is a good way for me to start off in the world of nicer watches... it should be here in a couple of days
I'm also thinking about getting a more casual version of a Tag like the black one in my first post in the thread. This one for the work week and one for the weekend. Maybe next year... I'm still shocked I spent more than $400 on a watch and feeling a bit guilty/frivoulous
