MB&F HM8 Can-Am 49mm

How it wears
Wears smaller than its 49 mm case suggests
MB&F HM8 Can-Am 49mm measures 51.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 49 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.05 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 92% of the 8,093 watches in this database and longer than 47% of the 32 MB&F watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 58 mm (2.28 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.5 mm (2.03 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
At 19 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 100% of the watches with a listed thickness.

Uses nearly the full wrist width; trying the watch on is strongly recommended.
