I love the style and have a Wearlizer in mind because of the colour option (space grey with metallic blue) but I worry even at the smallest size it will be too large. Anyone got any recommendations for any possible link bracelets that are good for a man with small wrists? I'm looking for the 38mm case size.

There are literally dozens of different types of third-party link bracelets available online. My suggestion would be to go to Amazon and type in third party link bracelets, and start your search from there, because they all fit differently and all third-party manufactures had different specifications with sizes. User reviews will be the best thing to determine how the band actually fits.

Even with small wrists, the Link bands can be adjusted to almost any size possible.

So I ordered the Wearlizer it came in yesterday needed only 4 links out and it's now possibly my favourite band comfort wise so far! I will post pictures in a bit!

I’ve been using the Speidel Twist-o-Flex... the only pain was getting it fitted/sized, but ever since it’s been the best link band. flexible and very versatile

Twist-O-Flex Expansion Band in Black Stainless Steel for the 42mm Apple Watch in Size Small/Medium https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075TCRVD3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_4spzAbMWY3GXM
(I may have asked you before; don't expect to see to many Twist-O-Flex users on here)

Were you not able to use one of the stock Speidel sizes? I'd think that resizing it is just as difficult (meaning, more difficult than any simple pin-and-link bracelet) as any other Twist-O-Flex band.

My dad wore his watch on such a Speidel band for years, and he included the band when he handed the watch down to me. His old band is much too large for my wrist, but I think it'd be cool to use the same thing on my Apple Watch.

i got the medium and needed to remove a few links to get it to fit just right. I’m thinking i could’ve been able to wear the stock Small band. I went to a jewelers and they were able to get it sized. (he wasn’t happy about doing it, but thankfully he was committed to helping me out)

Was he an older guy? I'm imagining someone like an old car mechanic who knows how to work on carburetors while the young guys never learned. I've seen some directions and it looks like a major PITA. :D
