Hi, women's! Happy post-tax season (it is a legal holiday in my world!!).

My birthday is in a few weeks. Should my DH get me a Fenix 5S? The smaller girly version? Or do I move from the 920xt to the new 935? Any pics of how either look on women wrists? I'm not a tiny person. But I don't have man sized arms and wrists. The 920xt is dorky huge on me.

If it would look normal I'd wear it as my day watch.

I have the 5S and love it (upgraded from the forerunner 405).

I wear it as an everyday watch. Is it too big? No. Is it big? Yes. I'm heading out right now, I'll do pics and measurements when I get home.

I'm 5'7" and my wrist is 6 1/8" just above my wrist bone (where they recommend you wear the watch)

Ugh - can't get my photobucket to upload here. PM me if you want and I can send you some pics views Instagram or Facebook.

Is there a "smaller, girlier" version? The only thing I see is a band that is shorter in length. Is the watch face the same size for all band lengths?

The 5S has a smaller band and smaller face. DCRainmaker has really good side by side photo comparisons of them (along with comparisons to several other watches).

I just got the 5s and I love it. It is significantly smaller than the Fenix3 that I had prior. I would definitely wear it as an every day watch if I didn't wear my Apple Watch daily. I love the size of it on my wrist. It's not too bulky at all. The model (sapphire) I picked came with a nice suede band and a white silicone band that is really easy and quick to change out. I don't use the suede one for working out so that I keep it clean when I do wear it around town.
