How the Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph 39mm wears

Its lugs add 6.5 mm to the 39 mm case, close to the 7.1 mm typical across the almanac, so its diameter is a fair guide to how it wears.

On our fit model it sits best on wrists from 6.5" to 7.5" (16.5–19.1 cm); below 6.5" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.

At 13.3 mm thick it is slimmer than 54% of the 24 other chronograph watches we've measured, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most.

Its 20 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 104 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.

Will the Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph 39mm fit your wrist?

With a 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, here is how it wears across common wrist sizes. We estimate the flat top of each wrist from its circumference; measure yours for a closer answer in the fit finder.
