    Meanwhile shaq is looking for a wall clock to convert as a wristwatch.

    34mm-40 for most men and 26-36 for women typically work’s best.

    When I was in the military, many males in my unit wore oversized dive or aviation watches. There was even a self-deprecating saying: "big watch, small ("male organ")."

    Great video I too find the sweet spot at around 38-40mm, that being said I appreciate diver watches such as the seiko turtle/samurai being slightly larger at 44

      Thank you! And same here. A large dial diver is definitely part of the aesthetic.

      ​​​@@ChronometerCheck I wear a thick case orient sun and moon version 3 that's 43.5mm with the blue dial and I have small wrists I like watches that cover the whole wrist 😁😎👍

      I don’t like those Seikos, the larger the bracelet and the watch the more the lack of quality in the watch shows with the cheaper metals on display to a greater extent. It’s as the person in the video said, when you’re wearing a watch that’s too big you look like you’re trying too hard and that applies to a greater magnitude when wearing a cheaper seiko

    I prefer watches that look big even on me, yet sometimes I enjoy wearing my f91w even though it practically disappears on my wrist.

    I do 70% of wrist width max. . Which comes to 54 mm of 60 mm. My lunar pilot being 53 mm and fits best on the zulu or my nato strap.

    My biggest watch is a 42mm Tudor BB Chronograph, love it but I prefer 1940-60’s watches between 32 and 38mm, they are lovely

    The reason wearing big watches is "not ok" is because of rules set by watch/trend snobs. Wear what you like!

    You do a great job to give us a lot of information. I’m glad someone is doing this so people can buy what they like to me. 36 mm to 40 mm is the right size I can get away with a 42 is from the log is 44 to 46.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  • @jzayas5698
    @jzayas5698 Рік тому +1

    There also is the form factor of the watch, for example Diver watches tend to be chunkier than field watches, so field watches can look good while smaller, but a small diver looks kind of weird in my opinion.

    I love your Seiko Alpinist. I wish they had a no date version. I’m not a fan of watches with a cyclops.
    Other than that, perfect watch.

    i would love to wear some nice 39mm or 40mm, but i'm 6'2 and my wrist is 7.5, so if i don't want to look a watch funny on me, it has to be minimum 42mm-43mm, but alot of great watches are 40mm or below :( so better luck for me in next life

      Historically, men's watches never surpassed 38mm, and withall respect, men back then were more masculine compared to men today and also had bigger wrists

    I have a 7 1/4" wrist and have been wearing a 1950s Imperial I got recently, which is about 32mm and 39-40mm lug to lug. Honestly doesn't look too small, maybe our grandparents were on to something with the sizing.

    I had to stop wearing a watch after I was paralysed. I can't wear one because a watch digs into me when I'm wheeling myself around in my wheelchair. I was gifted a beautiful A Lange & Sohne watch from my fiance and its just sitting in the safe.
