Yes~! Finally, a video about small watches! I would suggest keeping lug to lug distance below 45 would consider a small watch. Some of your listing make it feel like still big.
@@stuartcole4845 47 lug to lug is pretty standard these days and consider larger watches back in the days. It would be preferably smaller than 45 lug to lug with a case diameter smaller than 37 to really consider a small watch for a smaller wrist in my opinion. Again, not to say that all of his recommendations is inaccurate, but some of the ones in there can't really be considered 'small' regarding either the size of the wrist or the size of the watch.
It’s about time. The smaller wrist watches need to be discussed much more. The average wrist for people is not very big so smaller wrist watches are more practical and realistic for the majority.
Thank you Teddy for doing this segment on watches for smaller wrists. As a man who has embarrassingly small wrists, its nice to know there are good options out there that don't look like handcuffs.
Wish it was more 36mm watches on the market right now... I purchased the MSAR and the 29er because of your vids and I love them Im on the waitlist for the new explorer 1 but I think more and more about this gorgeous BB36 Thanks for your work Teddy
@@rayhann8626 I agree that it’s overstated very often, but it’s true that a large watch on a small wrist gives an out of proportion appearance. I do have a 6” wrist and I did buy a 47mm Panerai. I loved the design but after a short while I felt it looked too big on me and so sold it. Having said that, I used to wear a DSSD as a daily and also a Sinn U1, so I’m ok with certain designs. The 47mm was just too big for my aesthetic taste regarding wrist/watch ratio
@@rayhann8626 it is indeed personal preference but there is also a general trend to extract from the stated preferences of many people. It’s suggest that there is a general agreement overall. Funny you should mention G Shocks, I always find them far too large. The only watches that I wanted to buy but didn’t due to their size were the IWC Big Pilot 46.2mm, AP ROO 42mm (due to the lug angle making it wear big), and subsequent Panerais which I’d learnt to avoid. Anyway, enjoy wearing your watches as you see fit.
@@rayhann8626 what you’re really saying is that someone like yourself just might not understand the idea of an item fitting the wearer being a sensible idea. Sounds fair.
I always loved small watches! so classy and elegant! and 21 watches in one video! now that's quality content. and the film style is amazing. so clear and concise and entertaining
Seagull WuYi "51", Anniversary, Junghans Max Bill 34 hand wound, Kurono Tokyo Toki, Longines Legend Diver 36, Cartier Santos medium, Rolex Explorer 36, A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 35, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 37 mm.
The Mido Baroncelli Heritage is another great choice for gents with smaller wrists. It's not only a small watch but also an astoundingly flat one. Beautifully textured dial, *very* sharp, beautiful handles and from a much underappreciated Swiss brand. And it's got an ETA 2892A2 / a Mido-built version on that reference model. For around $1000 it's in the conversation for best dress pieces around that category in general - and especially for ppl with small wrists. Hodinkee once wrote two very nice articles about that watch, if anyone's interested in a more in-depth review.
I never thought that I would ever be glad to have the same size wrist as someone else, but When I see your 6 1/4" wrist wearing something I get a really good idea how it might wear for me!
I have a very small wrist and many of my watches look too big for my wrist.. Part of that is due to the fact that I had purchased many watches when bigger watches were a fad. Recently I have been buying and looking at watches that are smaller and classier and a much better fit for me. Glad you posted this!
I have smaller wrists and I have a number of low profile Skagen watches. They are accurate and classy with many different styles. They are also reasonably priced.
I have pretty big wrists, but my favorite watch in my collection is my 34 mm Omega Geneve. It looks great and has that vintage feel (because it is exactly that).
Stowa make some great smaller watches, I recently ordered a Marine Classic 36 and absolutely love it! They did a custom brushed case for me which works really well and faultless quality from what I can tell.
I really love that watch especially the Roman numeral version with the sweeping second hand. But honestly any configuration looks perfect. What size wrist do you have? I think that 36 would be perfect on my 6.25 wrist. I’m contemplating the 40 too.
@@pacmanfl I went for the 36 for my 6.75 inch wrist and definitely made the right choice for me but I’m used to my old Omega Constellation at 32mm I think.
Great video - It would be good to do one on watch winders for tiny wrist people as well - my wrist is 6" and there seems to be a challenge finding winders what will work with small watches!
F91W is essential. I'm a new watch geek and have owned an 1861 Speedy, Hamilton 38mm Khaki auto, an old 1st gen black Aqua Terra... and a seiko turtle. All great watches... But the F91W is still in the collection. The others are sold. Its thin, light, small, smart, beautiful and dead accurate (gained 2 seconds in 6 months!)... stunning watch. I'm saving for the 36mm Explorer as that's kind of a similar size and an icon, but the F91W is a must
Great video Teddy, I have an 8" wrist so these pieces are too small for me. However my wife has decided to switch from the "ladies" watches to smaller dialed men's watches as she thinks ladles watches even from more expensive brands are a raw deal on the price vs value scale. The 36mm Tudor Black Bay is on her list to Santa Claus for this Christmas!! 😁
There's something I can't quite put into words, the feeling of looking for men's watches for small wrists and seeing some guy commenting that they're too small for him but good for his wife
@@ellowell8160 Why would you feel that? That's an old comment from a year ago. I did get my wife the 36mm Black Bay, a very happy lady! But you know I'm not dissing any men with slim wrists, just stating what my wife likes to wear, her wrist is just 5.25" so 36 to 38mm is good for her. From a quality viewpoint men's watches tend to be better. I suppose you could consider most watches unisex anyway as people wear what they want. I have an 8" wrist and the smaller men's watches don't look so good on me. If I had a wrist size that I think a 36mm would look good on, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Maybe you have a personal hangup about having small wrists? If that's the case, you should think about this. Many women like to wear these watches that are primarily aimed at men, quite a few female watch RUclipsrs exclusively buy watches that aren't considered ladies watches. It doesn't make someone less of a man because they have slim wrists.
@@brianmsahin Haha, I wasn't trying to get at you. My only hang up with small wrists is how many badass watches are simply off the table because they look like a whole ass 19th century pocket watch strapped to my arm 😂
Hi Teddy! Big fan here. Would you consider making this series of video on thin watches? I noticed you and most of other youtubers make videos on small or big watches, watches for slim or fat wrists, etc but i have not seen anyone make videos like this on thin watches. There are people like me that constantly look for thin watches at 9-11mm range. Maybe you can break them down to thin divers, thin chronographs, tourbillon, etc watches.
Omega watches looks quite big on the wrist even at 38 mm. The case shape and lug to lug are definitely not for small wrist. Just try it on and you'll see.
I am mainly a vintage collector but one new watch I do own and love is my GS SBGR061. I have had this one for 6 years and it never fails to impress me with the level of finish and accuracy and oh boy, that cream dial! I also love my EPSA cased vintage diver watches and in particular if you want a smaller watch but still with real dive watch chops then nothing comes close I feel to my Enicar Sherpa Date. Fantastic value for money over the twin crown variants. It feels like an IWC Ingieneur of the same era in terms of quality and is a joy to wear. For a newer high end smaller watch the one I would love is the Platinum Calatrava with sector dial and applied Breguet numerals. I have seen on in person, its rarely talked about in the watch press but for me is absolute perfection!
Picks from my own collection; 1. Vintage (to much to choose) 2. Hamilton Khaki pilot engineer 3. Rolex datejust 4. Seiko spb14x 5. Smiths navigator prs-48
Heck yeah! I'm loving basically every watch in here. Both Casios are sweet, love the Seiko, Longines might be my next purchase. That Zenith looks amazing, never seen that one before. Of the last three, I'd take the Lange over the VC or Patek every time. Love those Germans! Another great one would be the SARB033, but that thing gets coverage everywhere, so I appreciate giving love to some other pieces.
I really like your videos and your suggestions! Can you please reduce the filtering when showing watches because they look WAY better on video than in real life I find...
Christopher ward is absolutely killing it for the skinny wrist gang, c60 in 38mm the dune In 38mm , Sealander in 36mm all with lug lengths 46mm or less.
The Hamilton is "homaged" by AliExpress brand Baltany with the same dimensions and case shape, NH35 movenent (so hacks and handwinds) but with 100m waterresistance, screwdown crown and sapphire crystal (!) at $179.... I have it and it's excellent.
Omg, they made a lot of "homaged" Hamilton watches which I was searching for recently. Thank you for this information. I will look for a watch similar to the Hamilton khaki mechanical.
I am wearing a 1943 black face steel Omega 15 jewel watch. I have a Horween watch strap and an Omega buckle. This watch is water-soluble. Which means I take it off when next to the water. For a 78 years old is accurate. It was the first Omega watch I bought. I was not too smart when I bought it. I bought it out of India. The movement was glued together. It worked to a fashion. This is an Omega model 30T2 "30mm". It was and is a beautiful watch. My watch repairman said the parts were not available. It sat in my drawer for two years. I would look at it from time t to time. So if I could not buy the parts, I would buy a parts watch. Found one in Australia. I was lucky the case was beat to hell, but the movement was excellent. My watchman was impressed. He said I could just move the movement. None of this made any sense. I knew if I did this that the watch would not be the same. So I had him strip my watch down to the main components and the watch today has its original numbers. So the watch came out deepest part Bombay. Its chances of ever working again was next to nil. But this watch today is in Florida on my wrist. I do not know what its World War two history is but I know what its recent history is. By the way, I am from Mansfield Ohio. As a child I was inside of Balls store in Cleveland. Christmas time in Old Cleveland was something!
I have in my collection a 1938 Omega 26.4SC which looks very much like the Longine watch. This watch has a large sweep second. It was called a Doctors watch. Most Omega 26.4 have the small second-hand box.
My goodness El Primero for me all black , the black Pvd ⚫🖤is amazing piece 70's for sure....awesome for small wrist 👍👍. Thanks for reviewing this amazing collection....I have the Marlin in my collection.....
Love the video. It would be awesome if there were links in the description to each of these watches if we want to see it on your store or an affiliate link to support your channel!
Surprised no Nomos here. Also the Breitling Chronomat 36 is an absolutely stellar option. Beautiful list all round though… my pick from here would probably be the OP as boring as it is. I’d like to own it for a while at some point in life as the ultimate GADA watch 👍🏻
I'm re-watching this video and am noticing something that totally escaped my attention the first time. I own the first 4 on your list, the next two are the next ones on my to get list, I have the Marathon, but with the 41mm case, have the Max Bill, then...zip trout! LOL!
I find Longines and Seiko to be the best value propositions on low tier fine watches. I dont see them as luxury high end watches, but certainly not budget either (on my perspective). I find myself both from a financial and a value proposition perspective to put them on the top of the most I would personally spend on a watch (and I'm a watch guy). My first watches (gifts as a teenager) were timex, casio and citizen. Then I grew up and I found a very nice replica of a Cartier 21'st cenury chronoscaph and fell in love with it. As I turned into an adult I started with citizen just to get something to wear every day (like 100 to 150 usd price) and then I saw their disney collection, and then I started to look at MIDO and Tissot. Now I'm looking at Seiko, Longines, Hamilton, Rado, Bulova and some others and I seem to have fallen for the clasic lines. I usually hate big divers watches because I have a very small wrist, but I'm thinking about giving it a try with some smaller ones available on this 1000 to 1500 usd pricepoint. And personally, I wouldn't spend above that mark unless it is a very nice dress watch, in my mknd, the place to wear the best I have is at a social event, tipically requiring full formal attire and then I would actually like to use a nice dresswatch on my wrist. I find it hard to understand how some people put more money on sports watches they are gonna use on their day to day or out in adventure (places where things get damaged more). Maybe I just don't have the money to understand the mindset.
These are all really good offerings. I would personally strive to get the tudor, but I would get a monta triumph instead. Slightly larger, but I think monta pays closer attention to the details to make it a nicer offering if your wrist could support it.
Great video Teddy! Some other choice might include: Seiko dress SNE047 & SNE039. The Citizen Promaster Tough series monoblock case such as the "Ray Mears" watch or other styles in that range have a lug to lug of 45mm. Richard LeGrand AKA "RLG" watches, has refreshed their Odyssea Diver to 39mm and a lug to lug of 45.8mm. The Casio G-Shock GA-2100 "Casioak" can by made much more wearable for small wrists by fitting strap adapters and purchasing a short 20mm rubber strap. Vaer watches offers a nice 36mm case that incudes several styles with a screw down crown and sapphire crystal.
An excellent video and very timely as the trend is most definitely toward smaller watches. I am following that trend and recently tried on a 36mm Datejust. I was amazed how great it looked on my 6.75" wrist. I am now on waitlists at 3 local ADs for one.
@@giusepperocchi2979 I got the call for two Datejust 41s from my Rolex AD last year. First one was less than 4 weeks after I met the AD. Second one was two months later, that one was for my best friend. I will get a 36mm Rolex in 2022. Datejusts are not difficult to get from ADs.
@@dannyg6592 Well, nobody wants the 41, so I’m not surprised. I was told to basically wait forever for a 36mm DJ and an Explorer by my AD. And I already bought two Rolex and four Tudors there, so when I hear these stories I feel like I’m living on another planet.
I'll suggest alfex chrono 34mm I think. Totally design lead and only works on it own strap and doesn't expand enough fir big hand small wrist wearers but I love mine
Worth noting that the 7S26 movement in the SNK800 series does have back hacking (putting pressure backwards with the crown pulled out stops the seconds hand). Less convenient than normal hacking but it still works to set the seconds hand.
Seiko SGF206 Gold or SGF206 Two-Tone, 35mm diameter, 8mm thick...great for small wrists, and the only two dress watches you ever need if you've only got
Hi Teddy! Here Daniel from Argentina. Love your channel, just discover it few days ago and now I'm addicted. What do you think about the Braun reissue of the iconic AW10? Thank you very much!
4:10 TIMEX marlin 34mm case diameter dress watch remind me that my new collection - SEIKO SACM171 (33.5mm). It is a quartz watch which means its accuracy is trustable. The precision spec is good as Grand Seiko +/-10 secs per year. But more affordable (around 300~350 USD) and thinner. It only available in Japan, but still can found in some web shops.

Your video is like taking a journey into a candy store...i like everything i see and the drool factor is there. Well done!
The Hamilton is "homaged" by AliExpress brand Baltany with the same dimensions and case shape, NH35 movenent (so hacks and handwinds) but with 100m waterresistance, screwdown crown and sapphire crystal (!) at $179....
I have it and it's excellent.
Omg, they made a lot of "homaged" Hamilton watches which I was searching for recently. Thank you for this information. I will look for a watch similar to the Hamilton khaki mechanical.
Your channel is THE best watch channel, I could go into loads of reasons why but I’m sure anyone reading this knows the truth.
I am wearing a 1943 black face steel Omega 15 jewel watch. I have a Horween watch strap and an Omega buckle. This watch is water-soluble. Which means I take it off when next to the water. For a 78 years old is accurate. It was the first Omega watch I bought. I was not too smart when I bought it. I bought it out of India. The movement was glued together. It worked to a fashion. This is an Omega model 30T2 "30mm". It was and is a beautiful watch. My watch repairman said the parts were not available. It sat in my drawer for two years. I would look at it from time t to time. So if I could not buy the parts, I would buy a parts watch. Found one in Australia. I was lucky the case was beat to hell, but the movement was excellent. My watchman was
impressed. He said I could just move the movement. None of this made any sense. I knew if I did this that the watch would not be the same. So I had him strip my watch down to the main
components and the watch today has its original numbers. So the watch came out deepest part Bombay. Its chances of ever working again was next to nil. But this watch today is in Florida
on my wrist. I do not know what its World War two history is but I know what its recent history is. By the way, I am from Mansfield Ohio. As a child I was inside of Balls store in Cleveland.
Christmas time in Old Cleveland was something!
Man, that Marathon MSAR spoke to me. That's easily my top choice from this list.
Awesome range Teddy. You see Casio and Rolex both on the same list which so very few watch reviewers can pull off .
you forgot the Marathon in your chapters. The most beautiful of all!
I have in my collection a 1938 Omega 26.4SC which looks very much like the Longine watch. This watch has a large sweep second. It was called a Doctors watch. Most Omega 26.4
have the small second-hand box.
I have small wrists so thank you for this video.
Rado Captain Cook 37mm should be in this list, just tried it today at a local AD and the gold dial is pop
My goodness El Primero for me all black , the black Pvd ⚫🖤is amazing piece 70's for sure....awesome for small wrist 👍👍. Thanks for reviewing this amazing collection....I have the Marlin in my collection.....
Love the video. It would be awesome if there were links in the description to each of these watches if we want to see it on your store or an affiliate link to support your channel!
Surprised no Nomos here. Also the Breitling Chronomat 36 is an absolutely stellar option. Beautiful list all round though… my pick from here would probably be the OP as boring as it is. I’d like to own it for a while at some point in life as the ultimate GADA watch 👍🏻
Luch has lots of models for small wrists. Single arrow models are my favorite ones.
38mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe is nice too!
I'm re-watching this video and am noticing something that totally escaped my attention the first time. I own the first 4 on your list, the next two are the next ones on my to get list, I have the Marathon, but with the 41mm case, have the Max Bill, then...zip trout! LOL!
I find Longines and Seiko to be the best value propositions on low tier fine watches. I dont see them as luxury high end watches, but certainly not budget either (on my perspective).
I find myself both from a financial and a value proposition perspective to put them on the top of the most I would personally spend on a watch (and I'm a watch guy).
My first watches (gifts as a teenager) were timex, casio and citizen. Then I grew up and I found a very nice replica of a Cartier 21'st cenury chronoscaph and fell in love with it.
As I turned into an adult I started with citizen just to get something to wear every day (like 100 to 150 usd price) and then I saw their disney collection, and then I started to look at MIDO and Tissot. Now I'm looking at Seiko, Longines, Hamilton, Rado, Bulova and some others and I seem to have fallen for the clasic lines. I usually hate big divers watches because I have a very small wrist, but I'm thinking about giving it a try with some smaller ones available on this 1000 to 1500 usd pricepoint. And personally, I wouldn't spend above that mark unless it is a very nice dress watch, in my mknd, the place to wear the best I have is at a social event, tipically requiring full formal attire and then I would actually like to use a nice dresswatch on my wrist. I find it hard to understand how some people put more money on sports watches they are gonna use on their day to day or out in adventure (places where things get damaged more). Maybe I just don't have the money to understand the mindset.
Great topic that isn't covered enough. Thank you.
Impressive list. Zenith titanium chrono might be my next watch since I doubt I’ll get ‘the call’ from R any time soon (if ever).
Gotta say, this video is very nicely done. Good shots, good choices. Nice.
That Grand Seiko.. omg ♥️
These are all really good offerings. I would personally strive to get the tudor, but I would get a monta triumph instead. Slightly larger, but I think monta pays closer attention to the details to make it a nicer offering if your wrist could support it.
Always great content Teddy!!!
Great video Teddy! Some other choice might include: Seiko dress SNE047 & SNE039. The Citizen Promaster Tough series monoblock case such as the "Ray Mears" watch or other styles in that range have a lug to lug of 45mm. Richard LeGrand AKA "RLG" watches, has refreshed their Odyssea Diver to 39mm and a lug to lug of 45.8mm. The Casio G-Shock GA-2100 "Casioak" can by made much more wearable for small wrists by fitting strap adapters and purchasing a short 20mm rubber strap. Vaer watches offers a nice 36mm case that incudes several styles with a screw down crown and sapphire crystal.
Seiko5 has great value with that see through back and with that robust movement.
@wrumpy Aha, yeah
An excellent video and very timely as the trend is most definitely toward smaller watches. I am following that trend and recently tried on a 36mm Datejust. I was amazed how great it looked on my 6.75" wrist. I am now on waitlists at 3 local ADs for one.
Make sure your sons can inherit the position in the waiting lists.
@@giusepperocchi2979 I got the call for two Datejust 41s from my Rolex AD last year. First one was less than 4 weeks after I met the AD. Second one was two months later, that one was for my best friend. I will get a 36mm Rolex in 2022. Datejusts are not difficult to get from ADs.
@@dannyg6592
Well, nobody wants the 41, so I’m not surprised. I was told to basically wait forever for a 36mm DJ and an Explorer by my AD. And I already bought two Rolex and four Tudors there, so when I hear these stories I feel like I’m living on another planet.
@@giusepperocchi2979 The 36mm Explorer is not easy to get at an AD, but my AD will let me order a 36mm DJ. And they have a wait list for 41mm DJs.
Thanks Teddy! Glad to hear you’re going to do a video for larger wrists as well.
Can you make video about solar watches especially for small wrist? I have exact 6.25 inch wrist as you
Seiko SKX013, Cartier tank, datejust 36, the omega planet ocean 39.5, and the good old sub goes just fine on a small wrist.
My next watch is either Maxbill or longines
I'll suggest alfex chrono 34mm I think. Totally design lead and only works on it own strap and doesn't expand enough fir big hand small wrist wearers but I love mine
How about a video for us with larger wrists?
Edit: nvrmnd. I read the description. Looking forward to that video.
How did the omega speed master 38 not make this list ?!
Teddy one question: i buyed the zenith shadow and now i am comfused. My wrist size is 18,3 cm and i am wondering, ist the watch to small for me?
Hi Teddy, I missed the Nomos Orion. I has sizes perfectly suitable for smaller wrists
Can we get another one of these? loved the vid, as somone with a wrist size identical to yours
Oris need to make a steel watch with that 38mm case. Perfect!
If you like the Zenith, check out the Boldr Venture.. same case shape and titanium for $370.
I think nomos tangente 35mm deserves to be here as well
The only thing I would add is the Omega Aqua Terra in 38mm, a true GADA watch.
Lead off with a God Tier watch, well done.
Thank you for this list. As a girl who doesn't like girlie watches, this is great. That Junghans is high on the list for my next watch
Worth noting that the 7S26 movement in the SNK800 series does have back hacking (putting pressure backwards with the crown pulled out stops the seconds hand). Less convenient than normal hacking but it still works to set the seconds hand.
I just learned this from you. Thanks I'll try it!
Love your work. Anyway we can get a video for best watches with larger muscular wrists?
I have very small wrists and don't wear watches because of that. My favorite watch so far is the Sternglas Naos, it seems perfect for me!
Seiko SGF206 Gold or SGF206 Two-Tone, 35mm diameter, 8mm thick...great for small wrists, and the only two dress watches you ever need if you've only got
Hi Teddy! Here Daniel from Argentina. Love your channel, just discover it few days ago and now I'm addicted. What do you think about the Braun reissue of the iconic AW10? Thank you very much!
4:10 TIMEX marlin 34mm case diameter dress watch remind me that my new collection - SEIKO SACM171 (33.5mm). It is a quartz watch which means its accuracy is trustable. The precision spec is good as Grand Seiko +/-10 secs per year. But more affordable (around 300~350 USD) and thinner. It only available in Japan, but still can found in some web shops.
Is that the sinn 556i on your wrist? Surprised you didn’t mention that, although you’ve mentioned it quite a few times already
