It fits quite nicely on my ankle, dammit!
My watch came in the mail today. It's the Enduro Max by Highgear. I thought it would be a good watch to use for my runs and my timed CrossFit routines. There's a big problem, though. The damn thing doesn't fit me. I've mentioned before that I have "the daintiest of wrists", but I thought I was just exaggerating. I thought it was my warped sense of self shining through. No, it's true. Even on the smallest notch, the Enduro Max hangs on my wrist like a bangle. I'd show you a picture except it's too embarrassing. Sure, people often say to me, "M-----l, you look freakishly skinny. Eat this bowl of tater tots." I thought they were just being cruel. I always thought I was nice skinny, runner skinny, rollerskate skinny. Apparently not. It turns out that I'm watches-don't-fit-me skinny.
I went back to the Highgear website to see if they had any smaller watches. There's one called the Enduro Mini. It looks like a good watch. It's basically a smaller version of the one I have.
It only comes in pink.

I have super skinny ankles. I can only wear short socks, otherwise they'll roll and bunch at my skaankles (SKinny Ass ANKLES).
Sorry your super cool watch doesn't fit.
Mmm. Bowl of tater-tots.
I was going to suggest getting a new band for it (I've even seen instructions for making a velcro "NASA Band" that might be adapted). But it doesn't look like it would take any alternatives.
Here...have some tater tots. :)
I was just joking about the watch fitting on my ankle, but I just gave it a try and the thing actually fits! Yes, it fits on my ankle, but not on my wrist. Grrrr.
It's nice to know I'm not alone with my skinny ankles.
That is strange how large that watch is!
but I had to laugh when I saw the watch name. Enduro Max is a perfect name for a "male enhancement product".
...back to you: I was going to suggest a child's watch, but they probably don't have all the features you want. I guess is pink watch for you.
Velcro isn't a bad idea. I'll have to look into that.
You're right. That's a horrible name for a watch. Now I'm definitely going to return the stupid thing. Of course, now I can't get the Enduro Mini. If the Max is for male enhancement, what would the Mini do to me?!
I think I almost got this watch for myself (and my damn skinny wrist) on Sierra Trading Post's site a few months ago. oh, here you go, beb. even have it in black. $26.
Nice Catcher in The Rye ref.
I have skinny ankles and wrists too. I don't mind about the ankles (better than having cankles) but the wrists are ridiculous. Because I have normal size hands and then sometimes I feel like it looks as if I have MAN HANDS.
I think I could handle a woman's watch (in an appropriate color), but I would feel incredibly foolish wearing a child's watch. Japanese watches are an interesting idea. I never would've thought of that. I don't think a watch on a chain would work for me. The chain would flop around and get in the way while I'm exercising.
So many options.
Good find with the Sierra Trading Post link. Great price, too. It's nice to see they have the blue and grey one available. I think that would work for me. It's pastel blue, but I happen to like pastels. I have no issues there. I actually saw a picture of the blue one on the Highgear site, but they didn't have it for sale. I thought it was a prototype or something.
I'm willing to bet that you're imagining the man hands.
Yes, I ate the serving bowl full of tater tots, but only after you pointed at my lack of a butt and laughed. (At least that's how I remember it.)
