    36mm is my favorite size watch. I have smaller wrists too so it fits me well. I could go bigger but I prefer a smaller watch. I like the vintage look of a small watch.

    I can easily wear up to 44 mm watches, but ever since I tried and bought the Longines Spirit 37 mm, my taste in watches has changed. I am now only looking for under 38 mm and it might be a Nomos or Christopher ward next

    Others have mentioned the Smiths Everest and the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander. I would add the Grand Seiko SBGX 261/263, admittedly it’s 37 mm but having considered most of the above (6.5 inch wrist) it’s the one I’m probably going to get.

    The Tissot is a stunner ! I want to take this oppertunity to go off topic and allude to the Breitling Aerospace Ana-Digi featured a few videos ago. The digital functionality of this watch copies that used in the Dunhill DM7 and Rado circa 20 years ago right down to the digital font. Obviously the build is different with the Dunhill and Rado being dress watches and they were and still are beautiful examples of understated elegance. If Andrew and Tom can get a hold of these old watches it would make an interesting juxtaposition with the Breitling.

    Explorer forever! 36 is a great size - incredibly versatile. But its a size that's pretty unusual in most brands' lineups (Rolex excluded). Odd, because its the classic men's size and fits most medium male - ML wrists well. It wears big on a smaller male/average female wrist though, where 34 gives a similar vibe. 36 especially poorly represented by Omega. Shame. Notable square/rectangular equivalents are the Santos medium or Reverso medium. Comfort is often overlooked and 36 is soo comfy, sliding under clothes or outdoor kit so well.
