Yes, it's actually hardly noticeable...
Thanks for your reply!
My problem is a kind of the opposite: I am used to heavy and large watches on my thin wrist - and I hardly feel that I'm wearing my 5167 . I love the heavy - but comfortable - feeling of watch material on my arm. When writing this I'm for instance wearing my Glashütte Evo Sport on a bracelet: I know it's there! 
I love the looks and the handcraft of Patek. I'm trying to figure out if the 5711 is more for me than the 5167. I thought the 5167 should be 'big', or almost like another 40mm watch, but it really is not. My daily wear is a 45mm Radiomir Panerai and my 42mm Glashütte. AP ROO's and 47mm Panerais are too big IMHO, though.
I cannot imagine that the 5711G on the leather band would be uncomfortable?

I have a 5711J. I have not owned a 5167. I did try on a 5167. I thought from the few minutes of comparison I had that the 5167 felt a lot lighter. And I imagine the 5711/1A would be even heavier than a 5711J because of the metal band. As to size, although...
I can't compare

In my opinion there is no comparing the 5167 or 5711 with other sports watches on the market. If anything, I believe these pieces stand alone as Patek's definition of sports watches. The thinness of the cases are in line with Patek's general design DNA, a...
