I am a 5'3" woman, I love this watch. I exercise a ton, and wear this watch 24/7!!! I really only notice the watch if I don't have it on tight enough when running, So, when exercising I tighten it up one notch, and when not exercising I loosen it by one notch!!, I think you can't go wrong with all this watch can do, plus it is so durable and beautiful!!
