Hi,

When I look at 35mm version in the store it looks TINY compared to 40mm, even though the difference is just 5mm.

Yet on the wrist photos it looks big enough.

How come?
Please share your wrist photos with 35mm version (and 40mm version welcome). Mention wrist size.

Ps: illustartion of how tiny it looks compared to 40mm (and 40mm is not considered very big or huge number):

Those 5mm equate to 31% more surface area of the dial. Even a single mm. makes a surprisingly large difference in terms of surface and presence (in general, not just for the PRX).

Integrated bracelet and cushion shape makes PRX look larger period.
So, 40 mm looks more like 41-42 mm, 35 mm looks more like 37-38 mm.
And you know, if your eyes are not that good, 35 mm is not easy to read.
So, if you are thinking about getting one, go to the store and try both. I did, and decided to bypass PRX altogether. You can also can print and cut out the scaled picture and try it on the wrist.

Oh, and wrist photo usually makes the watch look bigger than it is.

It's an effect of the lens used on most smartphones, they make close object appear bigger than they actually are. Use this information wiseley, my dudes.
