    For the video on large watches, demonstrate them on a 5.5in wrist.

    Good thing these smaller watches are shown on a bear paw

    As someone with a 7" wrist, I really appreciate this video. Good choices, I think. But I also agree that it's slightly amusing that you couldn't borrow a friend with a smaller wrist size to model for you. Would really love to see a smaller wrist demo big watches, as @TheNeybor suggested, lmao.

  • @amilyester
    @amilyester 26 днів тому +48

    still so many watch brands (mostly the big names) who refuse to list lug to lug distance/height, and just a case diameter. alot of micros will list these details.

    When I traveled to Paris some years ago, I bought the Sportura SLQ023 from an AD. It caught my eye because it's such an iconic limited edition piece, but I have a smaller wrist. That's why I find this video very handy. As a collector, I make profits from watches, so I will do my research and find out how much she is worth. I might buy the SRPK29 for my small wrist.

    • @alihossan6655
      @alihossan6655 23 дні тому +2

      Great that will fetch you some cash. *I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $32million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.

    • @stevenorris1
      @stevenorris1 23 дні тому +1

      How did you grow your portfolio to $32m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?

    • @alihossan6655
      @alihossan6655 23 дні тому +1

      I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate and long-term ETFs like VOO and SCHD. I have also started acquiring some tech ETFs, including IITU and IUCM.

    Good selection.
    Watches that I own include:
    Certina DS action diver 38mm;
    Hamilton jazzmaster 34mm ( on sites sometimes as ' ladies' watch but it isn’t- 90% brushed );
    Seiko 5 - snxs , snkl - old, new stock versins ( creation watches);
    Dan Henry 1962 ;
    Seiko SBTR027;
    CW c63 36mm - wears more 38mm on its bracelet; smaller on a strap.

  • @kkatpheiz
    @kkatpheiz 25 днів тому +3

    Yeah, the wrist is wrong here, probably would be better to demonstrate it on women's wrist (no offense, I have 6.1" too), and friendly reminder for all small-wristers - as in video mentioned - lug to lug is WAY more important than diameter.

  • @patmatsancheese
    @patmatsancheese 26 днів тому +1

    Timex watches are truly beautiful, surpassing their price range.

  • @kinslowrainer3982
    @kinslowrainer3982 26 днів тому

    Thank you for making this video! There were some interesting selections on here, but I'd say two for each category is just too few. I know you want to keep the video relatively short, but I think doubling the number of watches and talking about each one a bit less would be quite valuable to your viewers.
    And, yes, that's too big of a wrist for a video that mentions "smaller wrists" right in the title. Also, in no world is 40mm considered small, but you did do a good job coming in under that number. The magic number is 38mm diameter for future videos. Not sure about lug-to-lug measurements, but I suspect somewhere around 45mm would the upper end there.
    I'm looking forward to your next video on the topic.

    The Longines’ lug to lug wears too large even at 37mm. You need at least a 6.5in wrist to make that work.

    • @jbyrne4531

      It’s low on battery charge, that’s usually an indicator on most quartz solar watches that the battery needs some sunlight 😊

  • @alexsomeing8192

    As an owner of a small wrist(6ish inches) I have to say that choice of a short strap is so much more difficult than small watch

  • @edgarsebello704

  • @Desmutted
    @Desmutted 26 днів тому +4

    Idk how you would call 37 - 40.5 small . Would say small is 32 - 37 depending on the wrist . However solid watches from your pick . Also the timex expedition is more like a gg-w-113 inspired.

    • @deceivery
      @deceivery 25 днів тому +2

      eh i would say by modern standards mens watches only really go as small as 35. but yeah i would agree anything north of 38 is crossing into midsize territory. i have 6.5-6.75 wrists and find 39-40 about as big as i can go without feeling silly

    The Lorier Falcon is quite expensive at $499, especially considering it doesn't offer much.

    • @StandAloneState
      @StandAloneState 18 днів тому

      Many people love the falcon, and keep in mind a microbrand cant mass produce and cut costs like the larger brands (which you can argue are gouging)

    1:06 PLEASE don’t ever fold a Reverso like that! It’s supposed to slide in like you slide it out, otherwise it just ends up folding as it wishes, due to the mechanism wearing out.

    Well made and informative video. Minor feedback, you missed an opportunity to ask a lady to help you model these as the video lends itself to needing a smaller wrist. An attractive women's wrists would likely have gotten you more clicks.
