you don't need a flexible ruler, just use string to wrap around your wrist and then measure the string on a ruler

did it, still same result between 6 and 7 inchs , so about about 170.18 ish mm since it was at dot 6.5-7 mark in inchs.

I say either one would work, but I think the 38mm looks the best. There's quite a big difference between 6-7 inches, so without a reading in millimeters, I can't give a more definitive recommendation. If I had to guess, your wrist looks to be closer to 6 inches, or around 155mm.

i have measured it by ruler and string method and it comes down 6inchs and point 7 so 6.7inchs= 170.18mm

In that case, go with the 42mm!

Casio posts all Gshock dimensions on their website. There's no need for your half-assed measurement guesses. You can compare 1:1 to know the exact size difference, including thickness and weight.

Where did you get that shirt?!Get the 38mm. Keep in mind that the actual apple watch is pretty thick and if you get the 42mm version it will look really weird on your 17cm wrist especially is you're gonna wear a shirt. Here's a big watch on a medium sized wrist. It looks so tasteless, imo.
I have similar wrist size (18cm) and i always wear 36-40mm watches. I have some that are 42-45mm, but they look weird on me if i wear something other than a short sleeved tshirt.
