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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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!!!!
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 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!!
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.
It's funny when Teddy asks if we like this kind of content and if we do he'll do more. Of course we like this content! We love it! Can't get enough haha
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. ✌
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 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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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 👏
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.
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!
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 ☺️
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 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.
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!
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!
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!

What’s your wrist size
@@jorgecuervo24 mine is around 5.8 inch. Very boney wrist
@@jorgecuervo24haha...

36mm would be a challenging but interesting video…it’s also my favorite size
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.
Perfect concept for looking at what is available for my wrist- Bravo!

This is my exact wrist size and all the watches are beautiful 😍😍

I love this idea! I’d love to see the infamous 36mm to be done as a video as well.
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.
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.
Thanks for this! Helps those who prefer smaller watches

Thin sports watches from diff price categories would be interesting..
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.
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.
VERY interesting !! Thank you very much !

Very nice job. I personally love 39-40mm watches they fit and wear perfectly for me. Great variety in prices as well!! Nice job

Would you do a 37 to 36 mm size vid?
We can keep this series going if people like it. So far so good!

Wohoo I LOVE this format and I cant think of any better man to do it than Teddy!! Thanks Teddy ♥️
Thanks for watching message right away ,I have something for you..
I dig the concept. I think it's a great idea. I hope you continue to display the many options by watch size.

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.
Thanks for the list Teddy
Brilliantly done
Amazing! Cant wait for you to cover 40-45mm case sizes
More!
Really uncovered an interesting topic, great idea 👍
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 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.
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.
That Tissot Seastar pro was quite a disappointment with its massive footprint eh
Great video!!! Yes, keep this kind of content comin!!!!
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.
