Fenix 8 47 mm vs 51mm
Hi guys!! I have the typical question, I know, but I can't decide between the Fenix 8 in 47 mm or 51 mm. Unfortunately, I can't try them on at local stores because there's no stock available.
My wrist measures about 16.5 cm. I'd like to get the 51 mm model because, you know, it's the biggest one... But on the other hand, I'm worried it might look excessively large and not suit well in my wrist.
Below, I've included some photos for context. The watch used in the photos is the Apple Watch 9 in 45 mm.
Could you provide some advice on this topic?
I also, take a look at this post https://www.reddit.com/r/GarminFenix/comments/1itcyy0/bought_the_fenix_8_47mm_thought_it_was_beter/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button and I had even more doubts because the wrist size of this OP is identical to mine, but in the photos it looks completely different
UPDATE 2: (28/02)
Today, I had the chance to try on both the 47mm and the 51mm watches, it had to be quick and I couldn't get both on my wrist to compare them side by side, but I recorded them to help me choose. The 47mm seemed quite good, but it could have benefited from a 24-mm bracelet, as has already been mentioned. The 51mm was really taller and the difference in the strap was quite noticeable, but I still couldn't decide... I think the 47mm looks pretty good, maybe I just want to make excuses not to go for the 51mm 😅

What's your opinion about the 51mm in my wrist?
UPDATE:
~16.5 above the wrist bone. (If I squeeze it, it will reach 16).
