I have about a 7.25" wrist and moderately large hands. I get four wraps around my wrist; the last being quite snug. After redistribution, it is comfortable, stylish, and stays out of my way during the day. It's easy to unwrap and rewrap.
It's well-made and feels good in the hand, especially once it's been broken in for a little while.
I wanted a knotted mala as the un-knotted variety became annoying for meditation work. Sliding beads requires more attention than just nudging them along. This mala came quite tightly knotted and has loosened up over the last few weeks. This makes the beads more pliable, but also stretches the string. I am cautious that the string does not stretch so much that it becomes impractical for daily wear, but time will tell.
