It will require adjusting. I also have a slim wrist, and took it to a
Jeweler. For me, the adjustment cost nothing. When it was put on my wrist
for the first time, I examined how it was done and learned from that to put
it on properly. Good luck with your new Bradley. I love the one I have.

Hi Carol
The Bradley has distinctive markings on the watch face with 12 being slightly different from the rest for identification purposes. I think the markings at 3, 6 and 9 are also longer than those in between. The two ball-bearings, as you have heard by now, are housed in rings that go round the watch, one on the inside near the number indicators, and the other one round the perimeter. The stem is at number 3, and you pull this out to set the time of the watch. It is very easy to feel the ball-bearings, though I guess this is subjective depending on your sensitivity.
I will write something on it and post to my website. I took it with me when we went out last night, and the girls had a fiddle with the strap, but couldn't adjust it to fit my wrist which is quite slim. I'll take it to the jewellers when I am out again and see if someone can adjust it for me. I kind of know how to fasten it now, but it isn't the easiest strap to deal with. If I could get a really nice expandable strap to match it, I might consider changing it, but this would be a shame in a way because the steel bracelet it has is very nice.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie,
I'm glad you got such a lovely present. No doubt youwill do a review before too long, but, in the meantime, I really would be very interested to know your current thoughts on it. Do you find it easy to read quickly and are the markers protected in any way? I am glad you got some good advice about the watch strap itself. I don't know whether I could be bothered with such a complicated strap myself, but it does sound attractive!
Anyway, I look forward very much to hearing your review on this!
I wish you and all the very best for 2016!– And please keep the reviews coming! ... :)

Season's greetings everyone!
My husband bought me a Bradley Timepiece for Christmas, and I wonder if anyone with this lovely watch could tell me how to do up the bracelet strap it comes with, please? I guess I am going to look very stupid once I have worked out how to fasten it, but it remains a mystery at the moment!
(smile.)
This is a really lovely watch, I had no difficulty setting the time and feeling the little bearings. It's just the strap I'm puzzled by, so any simple way of describing how it fastens would be great. I generally buy expandable straps for my Braille watches, but I really like the feel of the strap on my Bradley, so don't want to change it if I can help it.
With many thanks.
Kind Regards,
