As a woman watch aficionado who has tiny 5.75 inch wrists, this is the video I have been waiting for! It is unfair that smaller watches for women are frequently bejeweled, quartz pieces without interesting horology.
Get yourself a nice vintage air king 34mm
Or a Speedking!🤩
29mm constellation with microadjustment and metas is the vibe.
I agree on the 34mm airking or any other rolex in 34. I had an Air King and it was perfect on my 6 inch wrist
Try a 5 inch wrist...
Christopher Ward c63 sealander 36mm, Farer resolute sorbet (from 36mm 3 hander range), Brew metric max gold. For vintage, cant beat 90s gold rolex day-date
Great content Teddy, keep it coming! I was really impressed by the Breathing Chronomat 36mm in person. Super comfortable. And the available pistachio green was awesome. Fit me great, even with my 7.25" wrists.
Teddy Baldassarre = The Best RUclips Watch Channel In Every Category! From one 6.5" wrist to another, thank you for all you do! 👍
Cartier Santos Medium deserves a mention at 36mm. Perfect all around watch, dress, sport, or casual.
The Santos Medium wears nice and large 0:57 on a 7” wrist. Perfect if you like a large looking watch.
lol squared watch
How can it be an all rounder if it is square?
It's not on the list as it's a 35mm, although a solid choice sir (!)
36mm is such a classic size. Today I'm wearing my 36mm two tone Datejust purchased back in 1985. I have other Rolex watches but this one's special because it was my very first Rolex.
my grail is the rolex DJ36, blue fluted motif dial, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet. the two tone DJ you showed was the 41, you can tell with the 5 minute increment numerals above the baton indices. i also absolutely love the nomos campus club cream coral and want to purchase that too.
Great video. We slender-wristed people need love and attention, too!
Some other honorable mentions:
- Nomos Minimatik (35.5 mm) - Everyday
- Cartier Santos (35.1 mm, but wears slightly larger due to square shape) - Everyday or Dress
- Cricket Tradition (36 mm) - Everyday
- Lorier Astra (36 mm) - Everyday
- Traska Commuter (36.5 mm) - Everday
Good episode for a classic case size. My favorite 36mm watch in my collection is my Rolex OP36 green dial. It is a perfect watch - elegant, sporty, robust and accurate. My second favorite 36mm watch in my collection is my 124270 Explorer. Rolex 36mm oyster cases wear very nicely on a wide variety of wrists. The OP wears slightly bigger than the Explorer.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time!
Thank you Teddy!
A great size. If you're coming from bigger watches, it takes a while to adjust, but totally worth it. For average sized male wrists, it makes the perfect understated everyday/field/dress watch to complement bigger divers or chronos. For smaller or female wrists it makes for a great diver or a big, bold everyday. For smaller wrists it makes for quite a big watch, which people don't appreciate. 34/5mm was more common in the '50s-'70s and again in the '90s - 36 was regarded as big. Some great picks there, but such a shame the excellent (and value star!) B&M Riviera is only 50m waterproof in 36 - silly. Breitling Chronomat and Santos medium is other obvious choices, but you can't go wrong with Oris 65, Tudor BB36 or Explorer.
Great content as always! 36mm is my go to size. I love the classic wearing demensions. One watch I'd add is the Gycine Airman Purist 36mm. It a great travel watch and the 24 hour movement is so cool! It may take a second to adjust but the 24 scale is much more intuitive than the 12 hour format. It packs loads of value. The only downside is the 3 ATM.
Love this format referencing case sizes. More please!
Damn you just upload as I have been looking for a great watch with my small wrist. Thanks so much!
Loved your visit to Longines, great video.
Nice! Thanks for showing!
Teddy- good selection, the Baltic nearly blow me away, what a movement. Get going 🚀
Teddy I agree with your choices. For myself I have my eye on the Baltic. I think its design is outstanding.
Great picks Teddy!
Yas, really wanting this list. Really tempted on the Baltic, would love to see a full review.
Great review!
well curated! thanks
I just love the simplicity and elegance of the Rolex explorer and hope to purchase one in the near future.
I have a 17.5/18 cm wrist and was surprised when I tried on a 36 mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual. It just fit perfectly. As a result, I'm increasingly looking at models in the 36 mm range, as well as vintage models, which are almost all around 35 mm.
The marathon uses a quite highly modified SW200. They increase the torque of the movement to deal with the increased hand weights caused by the tritium tubes. They also alter the shock proofing to add to the watches' robustness. There are other changes which I can't quite recall.
Love this, Teddy!
Terrific video. I have a larger wrist (7.5”) but not long back got a 36mm Explorer (114270). Took a bit to adjust the eyes to it but I love it.
Recently bought the BB36 and has become my favorite watch. Unique shade of blue dial, stylish and solid bracelet, perfect proportions for a 6 inch wrist. So underrated!
Congratulations! I also have a BB 36. I get a lot of compliments on it. Teddy loved the bracelet but I was not a fan. I replaced it with a cheap black rubber strap and it looks great. Strangely, I get way more compliments on it now than I did with the bracelet.
@@SocialWorkProfessor thank you, congrats on your purchase too. Wow no way! One of the reasons I bought it was because of the bracelet quality. I have yet to try it on a strap yet, don't even know the lug width haha, but good to know we have options
Love my gilt Oris 65 and my Omega SMP 36mm 2252.50. two amazing watches at 1k and 2k on the used market
Awesome list! So many I’d like to wear!
fantastic list; really great seeing 36mm get some spotlight
great video, thank you!
The Baume et Mercier Riviera 36mm hands down is my favorite watch of the group, followed by the Longines Legend Diver
Don't think I could ever pull off the colors, but I do really like the cotton candy Oris... Bring a smile when you see them, and I appreciate the whimsy.
The Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic and Stowa Marine Classic 36 cost less but certainly won't feel out of place there.
I loved this video! I was not aware Breitling had 36mm and those look awesome. My ultimate favourite though is the Datejust, holy grail. Great video Teddy!
Best watch is the Oyster Perpetual 36mm, by far
I love that Marathon MSAR/GSAR series - it looks so different with how far the dial is below the crystal. I’d go with the MSAR even though I generally wear larger watches.
This is the watch i am currently debating on getting. Ive always wanted the gsar but the msar is the best size for my wrist.
You post the videos that I want to see👌brilliant channel
Excellent review, some of them I never thought of before since larger size seems to get most of attention
Teddy, I know this is not a production watch, but the laureato 8010 at 36 mm is an incredible watch.
36mm is perfect 🙏
as a guy with twigs for forarms I apprecciate you talking about smaller watch diameters!
I especially love the Rolex Explorer at 36mm. Thanks Teddy!
Very nice content of horology today Teddy, Thank you !⌚️❤️👌
It’s a great watch for the slender wrist… 38 is the smallest sports watch size for me… I know it’s personal preference but I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist and 39 mm full lume explorer is my favorite watch in my collection and I think it fits perfectly…Cheers
Thanks for this video man much needed. One suggestion: there were some watches you only showed on a 7.6 or so inch wrist. It would be helpful to see those on a 5.75-6.5 inch range instead in the future since that’s probably the large audience here
Thank you so much for this very interesting video. i am happy to discover that there is so much 36 case from high quality brands. If i have to make choices, i will select the LONGINES in DIVE category, for the "DRESS Watches" , i like the ORIS big crown and of course the Vacheron constantin watch . for a casual watch, i hesitate between the TUDOR Black Bay and the IWC PILOT .
As a recent recipient of the Farer Lander Kano 36mm GMT, it's a lovely piece.
I think longines conquest 35mm should be inserted,, a great homage of Longines long heritage,, with exactly same proportion of the original conquest. Great video as always, thanks Teddy!
Thank you for using larder wrists for the 36mm watches too
I have big writs but like the classical sized watches too
My smallest is a 34mm Rolex Cellini Danaos
Teddy you are the best man !!!
Great idea. And it's true, I don't even consider watches that are not 35-38mm (no bezel) or 37-40mm (with bezel) precisely because of the size
I think the Lorca GMT Model No.1 @ 36mm presents as an interesting watch being the only GMT I can think of in that size. We are going to see a lot more models in the 35/36/37/38mm size ranges from established and micro brands eg, Aquastar Model 60 37mm, Vulcain Skindiver 38mm, Nivada Grenchen Antarctic in 35mm due later this year , their reissued 38mm diver and F77 integrated bracelet sports watch in 37mm, the reissued Vulcain 36mm cricket, various Lorier models etc.
36mm Nomos Club date or the Orion gets my pick 😊 and who doesn’t love the 36mm Rolex Explorer
I love my omega seamaster midsize at 36.5mm it wears really nicely. A vintage zodiac seawolf at 35mm is my grail watch i don't buy into the smaller watches aren't masculine argument. The watches worn by service personnel in world war2/ Vietnam era are considered tiny by contemporary standards however they did the job.
Teddy love your content, from South Africa.👌
The DJ36 shown here is actually a DJ41
Excellent video and selection of watches. The “Palm frond” DateJust got a lot of hype and attention. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
The Baltic MR01 Salmon is such a beauty. Hope to own that one of these days!
Great list as always. I'm surprised you didn't mention Vacheron Constantin American 1921.
Great video. I would add sinn and Stowe. they have some interesting flieger watches in the 36mm to 38mm as well as an honourable mention for the Rado golden seahorse 37mm
Biggest thing I’ve learned over the last couple years: don’t cross a watch off your list just because of case size. If a watch looks interesting, try it on and see how it looks. It might surprise you
Exactly. You never know until you try it on. People do themselves a huge disservice not trying a watch on because of size.
Exactly... I've a 20cm wrist and wear 36mm seastar love it and still have room for tightening
This!
your fan from China! Love your videos bring me into the world of watches. Now the luxury watches are everywhere with huge stores here. I didn't know most of the brands and why people out there want to spend money on these. But now I know. since I have a small wrist, case size under 40mm is always my priority. Thank you for all the insight all the way.
I find it weird how Chinese people can always find a good VPN to watch RUclips with, but my VPNs always had trouble when I was there.
@@g43654 actually many ppl here work their way around the "wall". e.g. big companies all have their VPN because they need access to western social media to promote products, individuals can use that as well. Others, they have personal providers outside the country, or they have VPN from schools when they studied abroad,or they use stable VPN apps on androids or have a virtual number switching their Appstore location and get VPN apps. Many solutions.
Thank you for the support!
YES TEDDY❤ 36mm perfection.
Since you didn't include (understandingly given the lack of) chronographs, I'd like to mention the Blancpain Air command, it's too expensive for me, but I wish other, more attainable brands would also have a take on those dimensions...
Thank you 👍
Rolex Explorer 36 is the GOAT!
All depends where you stand in terms of hierarchy
@@yourmom9608 Hierarchy of what?
I’d like to argue-but you’re right.
Nah, Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time.
Absolutely agree!
You missed the best and most obvious dive watch: Tissot Seastar in 36mm, especially the white one.
Excellent.
18:14 Cool hands. Very well done, and really, really cool looking hands. Seriously. Great job!
Bought the lady a 36mm rhodium constellation! Plus microadjustment!
This is the goat.
love this video so much. 36mm should be standard again.
I know it's a quartz movement, but I love my Tissot Seastar 1000 36mm. It is the most perfect color of blue, with a fantastic SS bracelet. Since the bracelet is quick change, it is easy to go from dressy to everyday. I have worn it with a black leather-blue stitched Horween strap and a gray Nato-style strap. And best of all? The price was in my budget. 💙⌚
Would love to see a review of the SBGW291. I'm looking at getting one as the 36mm Explorer still hasn't been offered to me.
There are hardly any reviews on this Grand Seiko but it looks an almost perfect watch for me 👍🏼
That is a 41 mm Datejust in the Video from Rolex. See the numbers at the hour markers.
I love my vintage 1965?Seamaster 36mm
I’d like to give a shout out to Lorier as well. They have the Falcon at 36mm and are a really well respected microbrand company with great designs and build quality.
I’m so happy the market shifted to smaller timepieces! My tiny wrists needed that 😂
These new Blackbay 36s look fine indeed. I'm happy they decided against the weird black crownscrew. I might even like them more than the Explorer
BB36 ❤
I've come to the conclusion that lug to lug distance is what makes the watch comfortable, not so much the watch diameter.
CW Sealander 36. Probably the best 36mm under $1000
Explorer is my must have. Teddy thanks for the value you provide, how can I get in touch with you?
The OP 116000 case wears nicer than the Explorer IMO. Can’t argue much on this though. Both are beautiful pieces. 19:51
Check out: Farer Lander IV
Islander Manhasset - awesome. I would like to see more sub-$500 options.
With small wrists, a DJ 36 fits better than any other watch I’ve ever owned!
The tissot seastar 1000 36mm should've been on the list
Will never happen... he's a automatic snob...he gives mention to quartz sometimes just to make content though
Teddy, what is your opinion on a man wearing 36MM watch today? Is it too small (I am 5' 6'' tall)? If I went to resell the 36MM size, would there be a market for it today, or would it be very difficult to resell given most men wear 40-42MM?
Pls do a review of the new tudor black bay 36 variance thank you :)
I bought a 36mm watch because I have girlie wrists (16mn).To be honest I thought it would be way too small and when I got it it felt like a toy.... But. I'm amazed at how good it feels and fits. Give one a try and you may be suprised like I was.
While I appreciate that that it's impossible to consider every 36mm watch to YT I would like to mention the Nomos Ludwig 36 Neomatik, it's super thin but wears more like a 38-39 given the slim bezel and longer lugs. Just a thought. I was hesitant before I got mine a few years ago but I'm pleased that I did. It is only 30M water resistant but in real terms should be fine for the majority of real world scenarios, just don't shower in it or take it to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Good luck omega you'll need it... start by giving ppl what they want first: tapering sleeker bracelers with microadjust, quick set date, 10 year service interval
Farer, the literary call it the 36mm 3 hander, got to be one of the coolest watches on sale at the moment.
Great, great contribution to my bucket list! (my wife hates you). I don’t know if there are enough interesting watches specifically for the 37 mm case diameter,but I would be interested in that,too!
Nivada Grenchen Datomaster and Lorier Safari are two other 36mm watches not yet mentioned in vid or comments before this one.
How do you feel about Seiko’s new Dylan Mulvaney dial?
I think that Oris Big Crown is a field style watch not dress. The review is very interesting & informative 😎
@teddybaldassarre correct me if I’m wrong, but the way measure of water resistance is deceptive, is it not? Isn’t 30 m of water resistant just splash proof? And 100 m is OK to swim with but not JetSki? Some thing like that?
