    You should try out the Seiko 38mm Solar Divers. Yes it's quartz but if you get it like around $300 to $350 it's a good deal for what you're getting.

      @@SilentCanary SNE573 is the black bezel, black dial black rubber strap. I put it on a very light weight Forstner Klip bracelet (Bonklip style bracelet) as my dress diver. Bracelet costs about $125 US. The brushed & polished bracelet matches the watch head well. Extremely comfortable.

    I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this channel and your blog, as well, from someone with a 6 inch wrist.
    Btw, I think I've found a good smaller-sized Seiko diver 👀.. but I'll report back after I actually get my hands on one!

      That watch is is the Seiko 6458! Comes in orange, white, and black but I thought you’d enjoy the orange 🍊 to replace your monster! It’s 38mm with a 42 L2L I believe!

    Im a woman with small wrist, and my husband has small wrist and we both love Seiko. Japanese watches in general are my preference ( seiko, citizen, orient, etc). But seiko, like you said, tend too have chunky bulky watches. I do love their womens models, but honestly I'd rather the design of the mens watches. All the engineering and marketing tends to focus on the masculine side of watches...BUT, citizen and seiko's higher end quartz models are AMAZING!! the citizen chronomaster and grand seiko 9f quartz are chefs kiss, thin, smaller diameters, and of course better quality build and qc. Even the vintage stuff is amazing.
    Anyways, great vid. Glad i stumbled on this. Agree with yiu on so much.

    I happen to be a 6 something inches wrist too and I totally get all the points you made there ! It is true that the case thickness and the case shape is a crucial point for us, probably more important than the lug to lug measurement.

    i also have a 6 inch wrist. i have two Seiko divers. the SPB317 and the SBDY085.
    i promise you that the SBDY085 fits a slim wrist even better than the SPB317.

    I just recently bought the Citizen NY0040, Black, it’s a 42mm, but the actual size is 41.6mm when I measured it, fits my small 6.29in wrist perfectly.

    This is my second comment but I wanted to say i really think you should try some Tudor watches especially the monarch’s, they are smaller and they also are relatively affordable as they do a quartz. I honestly think the chronographs are a great watch and which are my favourite watches and I have a just over 7” wrists.
    Great video brother keep it up.

    It is a struggle. I’m finding more and more that the style of watch can forgive the size of a watch.
    I have a couple of larger, larger for me, pilots. But it looks fine because it feels like it should be bigger.

    How do you feel about the SPB317 compared to the SRPK29? I know they're a different value proposition but I have similar sized wrists and just want the most comfortable watch. I'm concerned the SRPK29 will feel like a toy compared to the mini turtle. Also love the history of the mini turtle that you laid out here. Thanks

    The best part about this watch, which Seiko should include on every watch, is the lack of that stupid wave bump on the back. Who wants a penny glued on the back of their watch?
