Doxa - Sub 200T Searambler, 39mm Wears MUCH Smaller due to 35mm Bezel, Perfect for Smaller Wrists!

doxawatches.com/products/sub-...
• Closing thoughts:
o On wrist - The Classic SUB 300 was the smallest wide watch and the thinnest, thick watch… It nailed its odd function-forward aesthetic with eccentric proportions that really shrunk everything down on wrist
 This newer SUB 200T does more of the same but at an even smaller scale, so it does make it feel a bit too small for my 7.5” wrist
 I’d recommend this size range for those with wrists well under 7”
o Model Variants - The SUB 200T is available in 8 different dial color variants with options on bracelet or strap
o Comparable models - In a similar niche vein as Squale and Zodiac but typically held in a higher prestige
o Bottom-line - An iconic silhouette from a beloved brand which can now be enjoy by an even more abundant range of wrists

You're crazy dude. I have an 8-in wrist and I wore 34mm Rolex oyster perpetual date just fine. When I finally sold it I had so many dudes that were hung up on the fact that it was 34 mm and not 36 mm like the datejust. Once dude tried it on he bought it immediately. Most of the watch sizing is psychological

@@hillbillyluxury2691 A DateJust should be smaller, so that's not at all surprising. Sure I could be crazy OR I could just have a different preferences than you...

[@Josue-411]

I have a 6.5 wrist and the Sub 300 felt too big. The Sub 200T fits perfectly. I think it wears like a 38mm. Your wrists are big and this watch is meant for wrists under 7 inches or people that prefer smaller watches.

[@AverageBros]

@@Josue-411 Agreed, best for 6.5" wrists and below. I actually do prefer smaller watches generally but for me the proportions are what overly shrunk the watch down. So, it wasn't just ultimate dimensions, as the smaller 38mm Vulcain Skindiver wears perfectly by comparison, with reverse proportions of a larger more open dial and thinner bezel. Still love Doxa and their classic SUB 300 though, as in that case, the proportions help shrink the watch down to what feels more like a 39-40mm visually.

[@Josue-411]

@@AverageBros Fair enough, I think between the 200 & 300 everyone can find something that works for them.
I haven’t tried the Vulcain, but I’ve been eyeing it. How do you think it compares quality wise and overall?

[@piotrszmidel]

I have 6.5" wrist and would prefer the measurements of 300.Hope they will reduce its price to 200T with time🤔

[@jamiltrinidad8374]

I got like 6.1/4 do yo think i can pull it off honestly i like smaller watches but this is a diver is not supposed to be small and i am struggling to decide between the 200t or the 200

[@simtye88]

Nice video man! So I have a 6 3/4 inch wrist. I feel the normal one be to big when I think my turtle feels to big. Do you think this would work on mine or should I just suck it up and get the full?

[@AverageBros]

Yeah, I would say to go for the classic Sub 300, wears a lot smaller than the Turtle at 42.5mm diameter on a 45mm L2L and a 38.5mm bezel

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I hate to say it: I have interest in this watch when Doxa unveiled it. Now, however, idk… looks underwhelming. Didn’t expect the dial and bezel diameters to be that small. Yikes. Wish I could see it in person. Want a yellow one.

[@AverageBros]

The Searambler is definitely one of the more sedate colorways, I'm sure the yellow pops a lot more. This 200T version is super small wearing though but if you like divers closer to 36mm, it still might work for you.

[@swellbell6809]

If you’re worried about dimensions I would take a look at the yellow DOXA 600t. The angular case and the lugs being somewhat integrated make the watch look and feel smaller on the wrist.
40mm (D)
14.5mm (H)
47mm (LTL)
I have the white pearl one and it’s wears comfortably on both bracelet and rubber. It’s more of a sleeper pick from DOXA in my opinion.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Thx guys

[@Josue-411]

The reviewer has bigger wrists and prefers bigger watches. That doesn’t make this watch too small, just not the right option for him. If you have a smaller wrist and/or prefer smaller watches this is a good option for you.

[@AverageBros]

@@Josue-411 I actually prefer smaller watches but feel this wears overly small, especially considering how well their SUB 300 sits. It's more about proportions here vs. ultimate dimensions. But yes, I absolutely agree that those with smaller 6.5" wrists and under should love the 200T, as they may have found the Classic SUB 300 to be too physically overwhelming on wrist despite the smaller visual weight achieved by their signature proportions.

[@mjdm1925]

This watch is small for the average American where been overweight is a normal. Anywhere in the world it works perfect. Sort of like car manufacturers have to build big SUVs for America because we would not fit in other cars

[@AverageBros]

@@mjdm1925 you know you can like smaller watches without implying that any who doesn't is just too fat to wear them?

[@Isaac-bk4we]

I agree with you. I don’t like big watches but this looks too small. People forget the original Doxa was not this size. This size was their women’s line at the time. I think this model suits under 7 inches.

[@alectang1614]

Yeah, but the original 200 was 35mm. The new one is substantially bigger at 39mm. I think it'll be perfect on my 7inch wrist.

Has the doxa “Swiss made, manufactured in china” business been solved?
