I felt the same way about the old 38.5mm, it wore smaller than the dimensions suggested.I have 7" wrists and was thinking the same. Really thought the 38mm would be the one for me. Tried both on in my AD and instantly disliked the size of the 38mm, felt like a - sorry to be sexist - girly size on me. Went with the 41mm. Haven't regretted it at all. View attachment 15703514
I also have a 6.75 wrist and have that exact watch. I agree, it fits just fine. I love the look with the rubber strap.Try the 38 when you get the chance and decide which one you like better.
FWIW here's a 41.5 on a 6.75" round wrist. It's a closeup so it actually looks bigger than it is because of the wide angle. I tried the 38 and it was too small for my taste.

38.5 mm for anything under a 7.25" wrist.
It is 38mm now guys, not 38.5mm.OP, if your wrist measures 6.5" then I highly recommend waiting and going with the 38.5mm version. Although at the end of the day it's personal choice, if you're asking for our/my opinion, 38.5mm will withstand the test of time better, and provide you with more wearing opportunities (more formal looking for those types of events). FWIW, my wrist measures just shy of 7" and I find my 38.5mm AT wears perfectly. But again, to each their own.
Couldn't agree more about the smaller size! I've got a 6.75 wrist and had a 37mm Rado that made me feel very self conscious. I've gone as big as 43mm but won't go smaller than 40. Here's my Aqua Terra on wrist.I have 7" wrists and was thinking the same. Really thought the 38mm would be the one for me.
