Hi guys,
I have had an Avenger Skyland and am thinking of getting a BB. The BB is less than 2mm smaller in diameter and only 0.3mm thinner, but it seems to wear smaller and flatter on the wrist in photos. For those who've had both, is this the case? I'm seeing it as a plus. My wrist is 6.75 inches and i have been thinking the AS was too big.

Have only had the BB, but by what you say it sounds perfect. My wrist is 7.5" and I found the BB just a little small. With your wrist I would have never sold it.

I've had both and have small wrists to boot. It's a tie for me. The BB (or Evo) is about 53mm lug end to lug end. The Avenger is about the same but has more curved lugs than the BB and seems to fit the wrist better there. But the nearly 2mm diameter difference still makes a meaningful visual size impact. I also think a brushed finish has the effect of reducing the overall appearance of size.

I find both on my wrist - 6&1/2 - at the upper limit of what I can wear. If it helps, I don't find the either wear meaningfully different than the Fish which you have.

The Avenger may be smaller than the SA but make no mistake, it is a bling watch (unless you refinish it like the one for sale here by our UK friend or get it on a strap).

The BB would be the popular call. But personally I've been thinking it might be worth getting an Avenger before they mess it up or discontinue it entirely, just as I did with the Evo.

I've owned both, and from what it sounds, the BB would be the way to go. My large wrists can accompany both, but the BB does wear smaller. I have owned the brushed BB twice, and I can't for life of me remember why I let it go. I have the Chrono Avenger and even with the titanium look, the BB wears a bit smaller. Both great watches, and one I'll hopefully get my LAST Blackbird..

Well if I had to choose between a BlackBerry and an Avenger, the Avenger wins every time . I know a BB is a black bird
but I don't like birds either . LOL
