I would say the case diameter is not really too important when considering a watch for smaller wrists (take it from someone with a 6” wrist!). You should pay attention to the lug-to-lug length (from one end of the watch to the opposing end), the curvature of the lugs (this will determine how well the watch hugs your wrist), and the height of the case-back (the less the case-back protrudes, the better the watch will hug your wrist). I own a Tudor Black Bay which is technically larger than a Rolex Submariner, but because of the flatter case-back, it actually wears smaller despite the larger case diameter.
Yes I have a Casio Royale and although case is fairly big the lug to lug length is really small making it a very wearable watch for smaller. Really recommend it to anybody reading!
So true my friend. I have a 6-1/4" wrist. I own a Citizen NY0040, which is 41,3 mm wide. But lug to lug is short so it works perfectly on me. Also, the dial is black and small, and the bezel is is a bit shorter than the width of the watch. All this make it look smaller than it is. Same for my G-Shock M5610. I tried the Hamilton khaki field mechanical, which is 38mm. And man this watch has way too long lugs, whick makes it too big for me (and ugly when worn on leather strap).
Excellent point by Teddy. We always tend to ignore the lug to lug and that is as important as is the lug shape to determine if a watch fits your wrist.
I also have to add that the lug to lug measurement of a watch is super crucial when having a smaller wrist. My 44 (!!!) mm seiko turtle wears so much smaller than one would think, due to its short lugs. However, it does have a lot more wrist presence.
I like Alessandro's pick, the Sieko, the best. As a person with small wrists the bulk of a men's style watch can be uncomfortable with their width and knobs. Alessandro's had the masculine look while also being streamlined and comfortable in appearance.
Enjoyed that, thank you. Anything over 40mm is basically a clock if you ask me. My wrist is actually fairly large, but being a relic from a bygone age I suppose my idea of what constitutes normal when it comes to watch sizes is somewhat out of date. Currently wearing a 1950s Eloga, 31.5mm diameter. Arguably it makes me look even more like Shrek than need be, but it's a watch I adore and that's all that matters.
I bought the Seiko Alpinist about 5 years ago. Ordered it online and was quite disappointed in the size when it arrived. It just seemed too small. My wrist is just under 8". But I soon came to love the size and the way it looks on my wrist. Kind of modest and understated. I'd love to get a vintage 36mm Datejust but I've tried some on and they just seem too small. I think the sweet spot for me is 39-40mm.
Thanks for focusing on those of us with smaller wrists! My favorite small watch is my TAG 2000 auto that I purchased new in ‘04. 37mm, ETA 2824-2, blue dial. I’ve had it serviced once since then & it keeps great time & looks good.
Seiko 5 - that is nice one for the budget. For something everyday different that is more premium than Seiko 5, the Sinn 556. I like my Orient Bambino, but it is a weird size at 40.5mm and 21 inch lug size for a dress watch, but fun and affordable watch.
I enjoyed this collaboration between watch reviewers! My two favorite small watches so far are the 34mm Junghans Max Bill and the 36mm Glycine Combat 6. My next watch will probably be the 33.5 mm Seiko Dolce SACM171.
Thank you for sharing! I've been searching around for years, and recently ordered a Junghans Max Bill Damen 33mm (I prefer its thinner case over the 34mm). Seiko Dolce and Glycine Combat 6 did not pop up in any of my filtered searches. Now I know there are two more affordable options for my smaller wrist. My only watch for now is 35mm Citizen SID66-5191 Eco-drive, very slim and no need for battery or maintenance.
If you are on a budget the best field watch is the Timex Expedition Scout. It is very versatile and durable. It looks timeless and can also take a beating. I have worn mine in manual labor jobs for years and it has held up exceptionally well for being at the price point of around $50.
Brock, I agree with you 100%. I own a number of the watches mentioned by others, BUT I find I wear my Hamilton Khaki mechanical more often than the others. The case size spans a wide range of wrist sizes, and the lug to lug length is perfect for my smaller wrist.
For a guy with a wrist slightly above 6 inches, the lug to lug measure is more important to me than the case diameter. I can wear a watch as wide as 45mm as long as the lugs doesnt hang over my wrists.
This is a much needed video. I still have my Pulsar from the 80s. Discovered Seiko in the 90s as great for small wrists and still have that also. Great suggestions from all of these guys.
My favorite smaller watch is Seiko SARB017 Alpinist. But Seiko SARB017 Alpinist is also my answer to my favorite larger watch, sports watch, smart watch, smart phone, trekking shoes, freestyle skis, luxury sedan, yacht and also my favorite pr0n.
My left wrist is seven and three quarter inches; I prefer a classic 38mm! ( I think a "wristclock" is lame! ) When I "dress up" I always put on my understated Zenith with a white dial. If money was no object, I would go with the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia ( perfect size @ 38.5mm, and it looked very nice on my wrist )!
I’ve had the same issue for years as I have roughly a 6” wrist. I was gifted an Omega Speedmaster Reduced (ref. 3510.50) for my wedding day and it’s by far my favorite watch to wear. It’s 38.5mm case compared to the 42mm Speedmaster Moonwatch (ref. 3570.50) makes it much more proportionate for folks with smaller wrists and still love the heritage behind the Speedy.
What a fantastic, helpful and enjoyable video (featuring several of my favorite CZcamsrs...without any of the sellouts). Just Lovely. You have a new sub.
I personally think case diameter isn't the most important measurement. You need to consider the ratio of the dial to the case as well as the lug to lug measurement. Something like the 38mm Junghans Max Bill automatic will look much bigger than it really is because that watch is almost all dial, whereas something like the 42m Orient Ray would wear smaller due to the much smaller dial. As for the lug to lug, as long as it's shorter than the width of your wrist, you're good to go. Even better if the lug angles down to conform to your wrist.
I have 6 inch wrists, and the one watch above 39mm that doesnt look too big on my wrist is the Omega Seamaster Bond at 41mm. Try it on and see for yourself!
2 watches that I own that fall into this category that I love so much. My Datejust 116234 which is my grail and I have in a silver dial. This watch, as mentioned in the video, is timeless and elegant. A fading alternative that will so be very hard to obtain is the Seiko Sarb035 which has a cream dial and is similar styling to the Datejust but with a Seiko flavor to it. It works great on the bracelet but dresses up so nice on a leather strap. This watch is probably one of the best for the price.
Your choice, best choice. I have a hamilton khaki field quartz that is 33mm I belive, its great. With a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist 42mm is as far as I would go personally. Cheers
Yup. Agree completely. Ted baldassare has the best choices. Very Chic classy and toned down . Love his collection. Unfortunately most of them are way too expensive for me. Take care. Cheers.
I have really small wrist (15 cm). I have these watches and I can recommend them (they are in random order): - Tissot PRX Powermatic80 35mm - Seagull 1963 - Rolex Oyster Perpetual - Casio A158W - Seiko 7n42-0EX0 Best wishes in 2024
I think that for a classic dressing guy with small wirsts (like myself) the best choice is going vintage. If you don’t know how to get your hands on affordable small vintage wirst watches go on catawiki under the filter "vintage watches" (personally I always type "swiss watch" in the search bar and add filters for mechanical manual and automatic movements) I came into possession of a wonderful classic 34 mm certina this way for a very low price. But my favourite one is my 36mm Longines flagship gifted to me by my relatives the day of my first communion.
Great vid! Actually I think lug to lug is the most important measurement. A larger watch whose design results in a decent lug to lug still, won't overhang the wrist etc.
This was a great video, I follow all those guys so it’s cool to see them all in on this collaboration. The picks were great! I also like the Tudor prince date day 36mm ( maybe more affordable alternative to the Rolex DJ) I’d love to add the Tank to my collection!
The Nomos is sharp. I was always sensitive about my wrist size and everything else for that matter. However, I think it is ok to have one watch that is over-sized just for a change. I would not spend a lot on it, but it could be fun.
I have 6.5in wrists and CAN wear up to a 42 comfortably, but often times I catch myself really noticing watches that sit tall on the wrist, usually anything over 13+ mm.
A great offering right now is a microbrand: the Signum Cuda. They make a fantastic Diver with the same dimensions as the (in this video) discontinued Seiko SKX013. 38mm diameter and 44mm lug to lug. I bought one and im really happy with it. Great quality build, ceramic bezels, and meteorite dial (they have other cool dials too) for a really great price.
Good video, Brock, but controversial. I understand your point, but I think it is more complicated than simply specifying case diameter. For example, dive watches are supposed to be larger so they are visible while diving. I agree a watch should not noticeably overhang, but that is also a function of the lugs, as well as the case diameter. My wrists are slightly over six inches. I feel comfortable wearing watches up to 42 mm case diameter as long as the lugs don't cause overhang. The width of my wrist at the bone is 47 mm. My point is the critical dimension is lug to lug. I am not recommending buying large watches just for the sake of buying large watches. What.I recommend is you try on any watch and judge for yourself how it looks on your wrist. In the end, it is your money, so your opinion is the most important opinion.
I'd have to argue that your point with dive watches really only matters if you are diving with it, if it's a desk diver then you'll be able to see it even if it's 36mm in diameter. Wearing a 45mm diver is inane but often common nowadays. For decades divers used 40mm divers like the rolex submariner (the old ones which actually wear small not the new bloated ones) and could see them with no issue. I have a relatively slender wrist and can wear a 5 digit sub with no issue whatsoever.
my wrists measured in at exactly 6 inches around the bone so it's pretty small. for budget watches rn I really like the seiko 5 and orient bambino. looking to get a nomos, junghans or weiss watch in the future
I have a 6.5” wrist which is on the smaller side but my go to everyday watch is an 42mm Omega Speedmaster Pro. It has pretty short lug to lug so It wears like a 40mm watch from my experience.
Great video Brock ( as always) and thank you and thank to all the guys in it, we finally burst out the “” Vincero ”” curse Here we have it great watches, quality, great brands and elegance for a more affordable prices. Thank you again. Nordgreen Philosopher is my favorite
Hi thanks for the video. For guys that like smaller watches they should check out the Longines Presence line. They are on their website and I own a 34.5mm automatic with a 18mm leather strap. It isn't horribly expensive for a luxury watch and keeps great time.
I like the minimalist style of the nordgreen but I’ve also read reviews claiming that’s it’s overpriced for the quality (as I’ve read are MVMT and Daniel Wellington brands). Any recommendation on other minimalist watches with
I like the Khaki mechanical, I want the one with the leather strap and the white dial. I have the Khaki field auto in 42 mm and I love it but I’d like to have a manual wind only too because the movement seems like it would be more robust considering the absence of a rotor.
So I've got a Seiko 5. Loved it. Wore it for like a year, and then one day the bar connecting the case to the strap broke on me. Anyone know the actual name for that? And can I just buy another one and fix it myself, or do I have to bring it in somewhere and get it fixed? Thanks.
The spring bar? If it’s just the bar it is a very easy replacement. Order a spring bar tool (always good to have one) and should come with a few extras that you can the use for any straps. Hope that helps!
Seiko 5 SNZG15J all the way, it might looks just like your Hamilton but... for more affordable price and automatic movement. I agree with Alessandro but only Seiko 5 SNKL41J1 - it's a baby Grand Seiko, what a hands.... )
@@sergeyusik9934 almost! The overall shape is there, but not the surfaces. If you have the chance, go and check out any GS in real life... they look stunning :)
Thank you Alessandro! I do admire GS and everything about this brand and its timepieces, but so far I am not able to afford it. One day I certainly will be)

Bit surprising that none mentioned the Junghans MaxBill automatic.

That bit with alot of other people in the watch community was absolutely awesome because I watch them all, really cool!

Hey Brock, nice to meet you. You got a good quality yt channel. Very informative.
i wish the hamilton had smaller lug to lug length though because 46-47mm is like wearing a 40mm case watch

Brock , I absolutely love this video. I never knew what size watch face would be right . Thanks for clarifying , under 40 mm is great advice.
My favorite is the Nomos Orion. Clean and classic look. Outside of that and on a more affordable front, it’s hard to beat the Seiko SARB033.
That Seiko is on POINT ! Wow gorgeous piece
Seiko 5 is an excellent choice. Even if I had money to buy one, I'd never buy a Rolex. Beautiful, but extremely overpriced
I own five Seiko 5 watches and four of them are less than 38mm
Totally agree Anderson, there are so many better ways to spend that money. Cheers!
2 watches that I own that fall into this category that I love so much. My Datejust 116234 which is my grail and I have in a silver dial. This watch, as mentioned in the video, is timeless and elegant. A fading alternative that will so be very hard to obtain is the Seiko Sarb035 which has a cream dial and is similar styling to the Datejust but with a Seiko flavor to it. It works great on the bracelet but dresses up so nice on a leather strap. This watch is probably one of the best for the price.
Your choice, best choice. I have a hamilton khaki field quartz that is 33mm I belive, its great.
With a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist 42mm is as far as I would go personally.

oh, almost forgot, there is a Marathon Medium GSAR Automatic Dive Watch 36mm... unique for a diver to be so small...
I have to go with the Seiko SARB033 as it's a strap monster. By the way, I really enjoyed this video, Brock.
I liked yours and Teddy’s choices the best
Yup. Agree completely. Ted baldassare has the best choices. Very Chic classy and toned down . Love his collection. Unfortunately most of them are way too expensive for me. Take care. Cheers.

woow. this is a great video. Soo innovative and fresh touch on CZcams fashion section. great work man
actually i think that the most important nesurements are the wrist width behind the wrist bone and lug to lug
Tudor Black Bay 58?
I have a 6.5” wrist which is on the smaller side but my go to everyday watch is an 42mm Omega Speedmaster Pro.
It has pretty short lug to lug so It wears like a 40mm watch from my experience.
Lug to lug length is also important for small wrist...

love the rolex datejust with a modern wristband. looks cool! out of my small collection I end up using the Casio 80% of the time.
Great collaboration video. Enjoyed every watch shown. Just subscribed. Thanks.

If you have a small wrist definitely go check LIP (french century old brand)/ I've their HIMALAYA in 38 mn and it fit perfectly.
Great video Brock ( as always) and thank you and thank to all the guys in it, we finally burst out the “” Vincero ”” curse Here we have it great watches, quality, great brands and elegance for a more affordable prices. Thank you again. Nordgreen Philosopher is my favorite
Hi thanks for the video. For guys that like smaller watches they should check out the Longines Presence line. They are on their website and I own a 34.5mm automatic with a 18mm leather strap. It isn't horribly expensive for a luxury watch and keeps great time.
I like the minimalist style of the nordgreen but I’ve also read reviews claiming that’s it’s overpriced for the quality (as I’ve read are MVMT and Daniel Wellington brands). Any recommendation on other minimalist watches with
Omega Constellation Manhattan 35 m is my favorite.
I like the Khaki mechanical, I want the one with the leather strap and the white dial. I have the Khaki field auto in 42 mm and I love it but I’d like to have a manual wind only too because the movement seems like it would be more robust considering the absence of a rotor.
Timex marlin??
Great option!
Nice pick gentlemen, i'm pulling the trigger on the humble SNXS79 soon, change my mind.
A great video ! This is about a great watch community. I just hope that my latins CZcamsrs in this field could do something like this 👍
Do you have any suggestions for short watch bands? Leather, NATO, ect...
So I've got a Seiko 5. Loved it. Wore it for like a year, and then one day the bar connecting the case to the strap broke on me. Anyone know the actual name for that? And can I just buy another one and fix it myself, or do I have to bring it in somewhere and get it fixed? Thanks.
The spring bar? If it’s just the bar it is a very easy replacement. Order a spring bar tool (always good to have one) and should come with a few extras that you can the use for any straps. Hope that helps!
@@The_Kavalier yes, that's exactly what it is. Thanks so much.
Good video. Thanks and much appreciate for your efforts
Was already subbed to everyone (; Great video Brock!
Seiko 5 SNZG15J all the way, it might looks just like your Hamilton but... for more affordable price and automatic movement. I agree with Alessandro but only Seiko 5 SNKL41J1 - it's a baby Grand Seiko, what a hands.... )
I had to nail it down... but that SNKL41
Hi Alessandro! it's a GS hands, isn't it!? LOVE IT!
@@sergeyusik9934 almost! The overall shape is there, but not the surfaces. If you have the chance, go and check out any GS in real life... they look stunning :)
Thank you Alessandro! I do admire GS and everything about this brand and its timepieces, but so far I am not able to afford it. One day I certainly will be)
