How tiny of a wrist can this work on? My 8 year old grandson wants a heartrate watch!

I took a piece of string and wrapped it around my wrist then measured - it was 6 inches. I will tell you the heart rate part isn't accurate, nor is the watch waterproof.

If a normal size 8 yr old, then it would fit somewhat loose. if the grandson is of small stature i would say it would be too big, if the 8 yr old has a large frame the watch will be tight.

I got it for my son's girlfriend and I had asked her about it she says it works pretty good :-)

I haven't used it for any that large but I expect it will work. Worked fine on several smaller watches of varying diameters.

I would think it would be fine if he is a little tech comfortable. It is a fine watch and very durable. It has a lot of capacity and I find I generally only use about 25% of its capabilities and I love it. The users manual is generally clear and only gets complex on such issues on heart rate monitor exercise limits which I never use. Hope that helps.

Not sure if anyone answered this already, but I figured I'd chime in. I have a very small wrist, I'm 4'11". When I put it at the last hole its actually a bit tight on me, so I usually wear it on the 2nd or 3rd to last one. I'd think even if you have a super tiny wrist it'd be totally fine. I absolutely love this watch I've had it since summer of 2013 and I wear it every day. I even bought a second one just in case this one goes haywire.

Small enough, I think, for wrists and ankles about age 3-4. (I think the coils will stretch after a while if they play and pull on them).

My 8 year old has a tiny wrist and seems to be just fine on her. They are a lil big but not loose just look bigger like meant for older kids

My daughter is 13 with a tiny wrist. I am much older with a tiny wrist. They work. They can be applied a little further up the arm also and they don't slide down.

Yes! I have a small wrist (watch bands are typically on the last or next-to-last hole) and it works fine for me, unlike the original band.

The wrist band is plastic and it is not removable, you would have to cut it, you could thread a leather wrist band across the back through each loop for the band but then the heart rate monitor won't work or you could go to a leather worker and get them to sew on a band on each side for the band. But that would be a giant hassle.

My son was almost 11 when I purchased it for him. He's not a very big kid, and was able to wear this watch. It also adjusted to fit my 8" wrist, so unless your son is big for his age or husky, this will probably be large for him even at the smaller adjustments.

I am also petite, 5 feet even and less than 100 pounds. While the watch is larger than a conventional one, I do not find it uncomfortable, and I have used it on runs as long as a marathon.

Mine got misplaced in the move so I can't measure it, but I have an average wrist & it fits me fine. Your monitor is correct, it's purple. Not too hard to get it going. It measures your pulse, so if you can get your pulse up bagging-then it'll record that.

it depends on what you mean by larger wrists. if you have a bigger wrist, making the band tight, you can depend on it snapping every five seconds, that's for sure. but reminder, that this is only a watch band. not a watch itself. it is used to hold the 6th gen iPod nano.

I think it is intended for an adult size wrist. My daughter who is 18 is the wearer of the watch and she has quite slender wrists, but there are only two more holes beyond the one she uses. I doubt it would work out for him, unless he has quite large wrists for his age.

Just make the band a lil damp (very lil with water, almost like sweat) than put in on and hold the heart rate button on the watch, should pick it up....if it doesn't try walking with it and holding the button down.

Haven't tested with that watch, but looks like it supports ANT+ heart rate. As such, it'll pick that up from Viiiiva.

I would confirm the answer from Bob B as being reliable although I have not done any measuring. I have a medium-size wrist and think it could be made to accommodate a smaller wrist.
