Teddy, you nailed it with this video. A lot of people are sick of BIG watch fad. There are tens of thousands of us looking at less than 40mm watches. This was timely and perfect video!!!
You know there is a short list of those making the larger sizes anymore...and there is a market for larger watches...like me! I am an ex-football player ( American Football ) and I was 6'6" and 340 lbs as an Offensive Lineman... and still today as a 64 year old, my wrist is still 23 cm...9". Larger watches are no longer a fad, as I got my first 47 mm watch back in 2001...that's 21 years ago. Fads are short term. The 36-41 mm watches never went away.
@@larryd4352 A big watch is not limited to 47mm and beyond. For most regular sized males (not football or basketball players) a watch is big over the 41mm to 42mm mark and there are A LOT of companies that still make watches of that size. (mostly chronographs, divers and pilot watches).
Had the same feeling in years! Even brought a 35mm Santos.. But people should focus more on how the watch wears. Does it matter if its 39 or 41? Just brought a Marinemaster SBDX001. Wears nothing like a Panerai Luminor. Both 44
For me knowing the lug to lug length is important. I have very small wrist. So a lug to lug of 47mm or 48mm below is my max. For case 39mm looks perfect.
There are many factors in wearability and lug-to-lug is certainly important. I figured case size would be a better way to test this idea of building a list around size to begin. So far, people seem to like it which is nice to see.
Not just lug to lug but overall shape. I have a 42mm watch that wears slightly better, on my very skinny wrist, than my favourite watch which happens to me 39mm.
Great video, Teddy. I love the concept of size-themed videos (for watches!) I set my upper limit at 40mm and actually prefer the 36-39 range, so would love to see a video on that.
Agreed. I'm a fan of smaller watches despite my 20cm wrist. I was surprised by how well the 37mm Longines Spirit wore. But that Ranger has leap frogged its way to the head of the que; I'm guessing I won't be alone.
Excited to see the Baltic Aquascaphe made your list…mine arrived two days ago! July of 2022- the Euro to Dollar value is so close now that it comes in at $604 with free shipping. It got to northeast USA from Paris France in 2.5 days from the time I clicked the order button!
I think the Christopher Ward Sealander is a great choice for either the everyday category or complications category if you want the GMT version. Their "light-catcher" case is beautiful in person.
I can only dream about the watches you recommend. that's why I bought the first automatic in my life, the Thomas Earnshaw Skeleton ES-8140, based on the basic Chinese no-name movement, price of GBP 90. It's beautiful, it's only decently fast 15 sec / 24
Great idea Teddy....wrist size is important for alot of..I have a smaller wrist so 41mm max. Tudor 1926 and Longines Hydroconquest thus far, love them.
For me this is a perfectly timed video. I own a Casio Duro and a 37mm Casio three hander. I love the Duro’s charisma and presence, but at 44 mm it’s a bit big as an everyday watch. The comfort of the 37mm is amazing, but I love dive style watches. Been thinking about this case size lately.
Well done, thanks for a great video! It's refreshing to see a plethora of watches that normally wouldn't be mentioned together in one video. Please do that again with 41/42mm watches.
I just started this video. 39-40mm is a real sweet spot in terms of design and visual balance. I can wear a 42-44mm case no problem, my favorite watch by far however has a 40mm case width. Even simply sitting side by side with the others, it simply looks right. Tudor this very day re-released the Ranger in 39mm, Hanhart just released the 417ES UN 39mm. People are refining their understanding of design, there’s a more nuanced approach to it.
By far one of my favourite videos personally due to a smaller wrist size. Nice to see 3 of my pieces in this video as well. Teddy, you really did nail this video!
Bravo to you for illuminating choice for those who prefer the "classic" look of smaller watches, as well as those with smaller wrists! Thank you again, as this is appreciated.
I love your videos. In that kind of series 39mm, 38mm, I would enjoy a 10mm, 11mm, etc. Thickness instead of diameter. That is actually more important to me. I can wear 36 to 42 as long as thickness/thinness fits. Thanks!
Great series of videos Teddy. One for your suggestion box, how about a video looking at timepieces with 20mm spacing. I have invested heavily into 20mm straps and I now only consider timepieces if they accommodate my straps. There may be other people out there who may be in a similar position as me, in which case it may be useful to get your insights. ✌
I don’t ever leave comments, but I must now! Great video as always. Any content covering the 36-39 space would be great. It’s so hard now to find a good watch in this range. Thanks Teddy!
A great review Teddy looking at watches based on size for those who have a certain diameter wrist that rules out some models from brands. I have to love the Omega Globemaster blue dial, I have this on the leather strap and for me is definitely a keeper, that pie pan dial is a work of art. The inclusion of the BB58 is a no brainer as a stunning diver along with the BB Pro. For those who rule out the BB Pro out due to the thickness dimension but like the design (I did initially) I recommend that you try it on the wrist if you can as it hides its thickness very well indeed as I ended up leaving the AD with it on my wrist. Thanks for sharing Teddy.
I much prefer 40-42mm. I like a watch I can actually see, for having a 6 1/4 inch wrist myself. 42mm max haha. With the exception of the 44mm Casio Duro. It's a Casio. No regrets.
I definitely love this style of content. I'm constantly searching for videos recommending watches for smaller wrists. As someone with a smaller wrist ( and a watch enthusiasts) - it's so important for me to see how the watch fits and sits on your wrist. I reckon it's even an even more important factor than the watch design & aesthetics itself. Thank you for this style of content! One input: Maybe if you can help narrow or recommend with a 1k USD budget, that would be super! Love your content!
Great content! But, it's not just 'the smaller wristed." I'm bigger guy, but just like the classic proportion on wrist of a smaller watch. Looks better IMO. But traditionally, 39mm is still a big watch (the 39 Explorer wears BIG)! I'd say it's the max for a 3-hand watch. 39 is only smaller for chronos and divers. Good luck getting the Jumbo, but that Globemaster is a peach!
Great idea! Size is hugely important to me - always a disappointment to find that an interesting watch is an oversized beast. Maybe you can do the same with thickness: I often have to write off a watch when I find out it's got the proportions of a Big Mac.
I like this concept, it would be great if you can do a video for people of different sizes, like S M L XL in clothing. 39mm can work for alot of people, but it will look tiny on someone like Dwayne Johnson. Great content as always, thanks!
I have worn an XL in men's clothing since I was 13 or 14 years old!! 😂😂😂😂 But, when you are 6'6" ( 1.98 meters ) and 275 lbs as a 15 year old....well...I have a lot of real estate on my wrists!!
Great job Teddy, just what we needed! Case size can be a deal breaker no matter how much you love the watch. You know this better than anyone. Thank you!!!!
I enjoyed the concept, as I am trying to better judge what may be appropriate for my personal use. An additional data point to include is to estimated the range of wrist sizes for which each model is best suited. Thanks for all you work. Much appreciated.
Hi Ted, I hope you can add additional info which is "dial size" in your future videos. Some watch have a smaller case diameter but having large dial due to slim case like IWC Portugese etc. Thanks so much bro!
Love this concept. I'd send you flowers if you do 36mm, or even 35-38 based on lug lengths (shorter as the diameter goes up), as this segment is really where I'm focusing these days. Thanks for making this one!
I went with the BB58 in blue but I was considering an Oris, Aquis, too. I love the BB58 & don’t miss the date as much as I thought I would. I think I’d love it even more with a date window at 6, though…
Great idea! At 39mm I just purchased the c63 Sealander GMT from Christopher Ward! Really like that they removed the Christopher Ward in the dial and just have the logo now!
I would be interested in that as well. I actually like 40-42mm watches a lot. My wrist size is pretty normal (7 inches) but my forearms are really large and I tend to shy away from smaller watches because I think they look kinda silly compared to this lol
Great video Teddy. 40mm is my sweet spot. The perfect size for comfort and style. Not too big, not too small. Great topic and content as always. Thanks.
I just got the Rolex Cellini Moonphase beautiful watch can't get tired of looking at it. At 39 mm it is my smallest watch with the Oris Aquis GMT being the largest. As always great video. Thank you.
Would you consider doing an updated video on your current watch collection or consider mentioning here and there what you're wearing in particular videos? Really curious to see where your collecting journey has taken you and what you're into these days. Keep up the awesome content!
Please make a video on watches with 20mm lug width, with emphasis on "strap monsters". I.e. if I want to own a handful of watches, and 30 different 20mm straps.
This was an excellent video, thank you ! By far my first point before buying a watch : the size. And 39mm is just the perfection for me. Thank you so much. Would love to see other size like 38 or 40mm ☺️
One thing you forgot to mention, the GO SeaQ 39mm is both ISO 6425 and DIN 8306 (redundant) certified, and GO chose to include those certs on the caseback - making it the only watch on the list that can call itself a "Dive Watch" and not a "Dive Style Watch." While the 39mm SeaQ doesn't take advantage of showing the beautiful movement, it's very apparent that the intention of the SeaQ was to make a tool - GO submitting and including both 3rd parties is something most companies don't take the time to do, even if they exceed the standards.
Yep, 39mm is a sweetspot. At least for me... However, visible dial size, lug width (20mm please - 18 mm makes the watch head look like a lollipop), lug-to-lug length and lug/wrist angle can influence the overall perception of the thing massively. TL;DR go to a shop and try it on :)
Tissot Le Locle would've been a great fit on most wrists if they maintained a L2L of less than 45mm. For example JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon; now, that's how it's done! Great video as always, Teddy!
Great video Teddy. Really nice to see watches that are compatible for people with a smaller wrist size and for those with a larger wrist size but prefer a smaller size case . Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks Teddy for the excellent video. I am currently searching for a watch upgrade and cases below 40mm always wear better on my wrist, so thank you for the ideas.
Wow Laco is amazing for the price. Very helpful review. Just bought the spb-147. A little bigger but in the same category for me with the lug to lug dimension.
I have the 43mm Conquest, great watch although a bit too big for me, 41mm would have been better, but too good a deal to pass up! You cannot go wrong with Longines.
For me it really depends on the material of the watch. For example, I have an all gold Rolex day date 36mm which looks great even though I have a relatively big wrist. I was going to purchase a gold 40mm sub but that look wayyy too flashy, instead I got the rose gold jumbo santos. So the size for me really has to do with the model and the material of the watch. Not all gold watches look classy on a bigger case size.
Great idea! I only wish you’d done it a few weeks ago, before I bought a Seiko with a 40.2mm case; it’s just ever-so-slightly too large for my boney wrist!
Very enjoyable video.....That Santos Large is a really big watch on the wrist and I mean BIG. Looks even bigger with all that shiny stainless steel. Anyone with an average size wrist is much better off with the Santos Medium. Square watches always wear much larger than the same size round watch.
39mm to me is the absolute best modern watch size! I own an Omega AT 2500 (1st generation) and it absolutely is the best bang for your buck on the secondary market. Rolex would absolutely benefit if they were smart to make the DJ as an option in 39mm. Also, if you want another beautiful 39mm well priced option not mentioned check out Milus Snow Star!
Great video. I've always thought I have a big wrist. 39mm really works for me, but I also have bigger watches at 44mm to 45mm. I really want to see if you can do a 42mm watch segment which is my happy medium size. As always keep up the great contents.
Great video. I suggest doing both ends of the spectrum. One video on 32 to 36 and the next on 44 mm plus. (My collection currently goes from a 36 to an Arnie, so I’d watch both.)
Teddy, you nailed it with this video. A lot of people are sick of BIG watch fad. There are tens of thousands of us looking at less than 40mm watches. This was timely and perfect video!!!

Love this, Teddy! As a woman who is into horology, I appreciate smaller dial sizes so much! Thanks for the info.
Great video, Teddy. I love the concept of size-themed videos (for watches!) I set my upper limit at 40mm and actually prefer the 36-39 range, so would love to see a video on that.
Add the new Tudor Ranger to this list. I 'd like to see more of these videos - especially 36, 37 and 38 mm.
Love what I have seen so far. If this video was released a few weeks later then it certainly would be included.
Agreed.
I'm a fan of smaller watches despite my 20cm wrist. I was surprised by how well the 37mm Longines Spirit wore.
But that Ranger has leap frogged its way to the head of the que; I'm guessing I won't be alone.
Yep. Ranger wears real nice and comfortable at 39mm.
Perfect concept for looking at what is available for my wrist- Bravo!

We can keep this series going if people like it. So far so good!

Love that you included the 39.5 Planet Ocean. My 1st high end watch. I have the blue face. For the most part it's a daily wear.
I love this idea! I’d love to see the infamous 36mm to be done as a video as well.
Amazing choices - and yes, an interesting way to compare watches. The Grand Seiko GMT is beautiful; only wish it had a brighter GMT hand.
As someone with a smaller wrist, this type of video is much appreciated.

We need a video for each size 36-40mm. Cool concept!
Thanks for watching message right away ,I have something for you..
The Globemaster is a beauty and it's not just the fluted bezel - it's the pie pan dial!
Great video teddy. Would love to see a lineup of 36mm case sizes for the next video!

Great great video thank you. Everything from 38 to 41 is precious
This is a great idea. Most of the mistakes I made in my early watch collecting days was buying watches with the wrong size dials.

How do you actually do this! Amazing and very creative thought process to have come up with such a topic. Keep up the good work
Great idea! What about a video on thinner case sizes, maybe 10 or 11 mm and below, in different price ranges?
Love the size. Wish the BB58 had a date. If I must have a date, what would be equivalent - -still in the 38-40mm range.

I am positive I’m in the minority here… But I would love to see a compilation of 43 mm options. Thanks for all you do!
We can expand this series to other cases if this is well received.
I would be interested in that as well. I actually like 40-42mm watches a lot. My wrist size is pretty normal (7 inches) but my forearms are really large and I tend to shy away from smaller watches because I think they look kinda silly compared to this lol
I’m with you. I have a small wrist but 36mm is way too small. 39-42 is the sweet spot.
Echo Neutra also has some really cool 39s. They have a really modern field watch range, one with sub seconds, another with a moon phase.
Great video Teddy. 40mm is my sweet spot. The perfect size for comfort and style. Not too big, not too small. Great topic and content as always. Thanks.
Thanks for this great video. How about a video on thin watches?
Thin sports watches from diff price categories would be interesting..
I dig the concept. I think it's a great idea. I hope you continue to display the many options by watch size.

The watch hobby is an endless bucket of ideas. Keep them coming Teddy!
Thanks for watching message right away ,I have something for you.
Yep, 39mm is a sweetspot. At least for me...
However, visible dial size, lug width (20mm please - 18 mm makes the watch head look like a lollipop), lug-to-lug length and lug/wrist angle can influence the overall perception of the thing massively.
TL;DR go to a shop and try it on :)
JLC Polaris, still slept on, especially with the new date reference with increased power reserve and exhibition caseback
Tissot Le Locle would've been a great fit on most wrists if they maintained a L2L of less than 45mm. For example JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon; now, that's how it's done!
Great video as always, Teddy!
Great video Teddy. Really nice to see watches that are compatible for people with a smaller wrist size and for those with a larger wrist size but prefer a smaller size case . Keep up the good work 👏
That is the exactly video I was looking for!
Yes, this a great idea. More please…38mm, then the rare 37mm.
Thanks Teddy for the excellent video. I am currently searching for a watch upgrade and cases below 40mm always wear better on my wrist, so thank you for the ideas.
That Tissot's caseback has got to the most interesting on any watch under several thousand dollars.
Good idea, Teddy! and the other segment I'd love to see continued is Hot Take review. That was a lot of fun, and very useful.
Wow Laco is amazing for the price. Very helpful review. Just bought the spb-147. A little bigger but in the same category for me with the lug to lug dimension.
Good job teddy, we need more videos on watches of these sizes!
I have the 43mm Conquest, great watch although a bit too big for me, 41mm would have been better, but too good a deal to pass up! You cannot go wrong with Longines.
Loving this content! I’m stuck at around 36mm as someone with a small wrist
For me it really depends on the material of the watch. For example, I have an all gold Rolex day date 36mm which looks great even though I have a relatively big wrist. I was going to purchase a gold 40mm sub but that look wayyy too flashy, instead I got the rose gold jumbo santos. So the size for me really has to do with the model and the material of the watch. Not all gold watches look classy on a bigger case size.
VERY interesting !! Thank you very much !
Good idea for a series! Looking forward to 40-41mm
Loved the format being based on case size! Would like to see more 👍
Great idea! I only wish you’d done it a few weeks ago, before I bought a Seiko with a 40.2mm case; it’s just ever-so-slightly too large for my boney wrist!
I really think you should have included the longines heritage classic flagship. A beautiful 39mm watch. Currently on my wishlist.
Great video. Maybe a video about large dials that still wear perfect for average wrists...
Very enjoyable video.....That Santos Large is a really big watch on the wrist and I mean BIG. Looks even bigger with all that shiny stainless steel. Anyone with an average size wrist is much better off with the Santos Medium. Square watches always wear much larger than the same size round watch.
39mm to me is the absolute best modern watch size! I own an Omega AT 2500 (1st generation) and it absolutely is the best bang for your buck on the secondary market. Rolex would absolutely benefit if they were smart to make the DJ as an option in 39mm. Also, if you want another beautiful 39mm well priced option not mentioned check out Milus Snow Star!
Nice, I am so fed up with the hubcap on your wrist look. Liked and subbed just because of this vid.
Great video! Maybe if there will honorable mentions in each category without details would be great as well
Great video. I've always thought I have a big wrist. 39mm really works for me, but I also have bigger watches at 44mm to 45mm. I really want to see if you can do a 42mm watch segment which is my happy medium size. As always keep up the great contents.
Why Longines Conquest and not Longines Spirit 39? This watches much better!
Great video, thank you!
Great video. I suggest doing both ends of the spectrum. One video on 32 to 36 and the next on 44 mm plus. (My collection currently goes from a 36 to an Arnie, so I’d watch both.)
Thanks for watching message right away ,I have something for you
