+Real Men Real Style Antonio, I should have subscribed to you much earlier. I have tried many style councilors online but none of them could work for my kind of mindset. Please keep your work up! Wishes from India. :)
I have to say, I stopped watching after seeing 2 things in less than 14 seconds: 1 - You use a MVMT watch as an example 2 - That watch is a chrono that has no numbers whatsoever (who the hell makes a chrono without numbers man)
Lug to lug length is the most important measurement for if a watch fits correctly. Modern watches have large case sizes, but you can pull them off, provided the lug length is small. Also the case thickness will be important if you require the watch to fit under a cuff. Great content 😁👍
You forgot about some of the most important factors: the colour of the dial and the type of watch. For example, a 40mm watch with a white dial looks much larger than a 40mm watch with a black dial, and a 42mm dress watch (thinner bezel, larger dial) will look much larger than a 42mm diver (thicker bezel, smaller dial).
MVMT is not the kind watch you want to be identified with. It's a piece of crap. It's overpriced and not a quality watch. Just stick to the lessons of the day. It doesn't have to be a Rolex or Omega but not a piece of crap like MVMT. Sorry I didn't finish watching your video because it seems you don't know what you are talking about.
You are right you should buy settled Watches like: Seiko, citizen, hamilton, fossil, orient, tissot, bulova. Some of them are a bit more expensive but they last you for years. You also know with these brands that it comes with craftsmanship and a good service.
@@nashbueno Because it has a decent quality movement inside, not a $5 Chinese piece of junk made in a sweat shop. Also Orient is an actual watch brand that does R&D not a designer brand
MVMT watches are in my opinion too expensive. Crappy quality movement, little to no water resistance and they even ripped off old hamilton logo. Good for style but not good for anything else. You can get vostok amphibia for less which has history, good movement and is almost indestructable. Also for 80 euros you can get some seikos or orients
I agree with most of your comment. But vostok is too ugly for most of the people. Even tho I would never buy MVMT watches, they look more modern and stylish compered to the vostok. That is why most of the people buy those.
zoran soce The Tissot Everytime (Quartz) has a minimalist design, similar to MVMT, Vincero, The fifth, and Daniel Wellington. Swiss made for $135. The Tissot Everytime Swissmastic (automatic) has the same minimalist design, Swiss made, for $260. Which is the same price range as those cheap Chinese watches, but will actually last you a long time.
@Ginja Ninjaaa Water resistance does not matter that much at that level. What matters is quality of materials, their finish and level of workmanship. Check out Rexhep Rexhepi, simple watch but very high end finish and execution and no water resistance. Every water exposure damages every watch somewhat(only gaskets but still....) You would not go swimming with nice expensive watch, right? I personally exclusively use my hidro modded casio f91w for swimming. My point was mvmt is too expensive and other companies offer so much more for similar price if not less
Me having a 6 1/2 to a 7 inch wrist, I personally find the Men's Classic 45mm white and silver watch to my liking, as it has a nice and sleek design to it, while also being very formal, which is what I love to dress in.
Just found this channel today. I have been dressing nice (suit, dress shirt, tie, vest ect.) almost every day since I was a sophomore in high school. It is extremely nice to hear the things that I have found to be true in my life (that people treat you different based on what you wear) other experience too. I have found a lot of good tips here and found out that I have been doing things the right way for years now.
Rule of thumb.. Take the circumference of your wrist (in mm) divide by the diameter of the watch (without the crown), the result must be between 4 and 5... Most of my watches have 38 mm, my wrist have 165 millimeters , so the ratio is 4,34. Please note that if the number is smaller than 4 the watch (probably) is too big and if the number is bigger than 5 the smaller probably is too small. As i said it's a rule of thumb not a 'hard rule'...
Antonio, you're too good to include MVMT watches on any of your videos. This is truly an inferior product for those that don't know or care about quality and style.
Could not possibly agree more, you might as well buy a Chinese knock off because it's all Chinese in the first place, a Timex would be much, much better.
Dear antonio, i started following your channel since about a few weeks ago, i actually just want to personally thank you for turning my life around, since i started watching, i have changed my wardrobe, wich led to a boost in my selfconfidence because people actually started noticing me and treating me a lot more respectfully, wich led to me start to eat a lot healthier wich led to me also feeling a lot better in my skin. i have become a better man because of you... i was on the brink of comitting suicide because nobody seemed to care about me, and your tips and tricks were so effective, i mean like, i watched about most of the videos u posted in one night, went to the mall next day, got a new wardrobe, some nice watches, cosmetics, applied your tips, and litteraly from the next day i noticed peoples behaviour toward me changing, my boss suddenly started noticing me, i got like tons of likes on my new facebook profile pictures, (most them from really attractive women)... this may sound really stupid but you have saved my life with your channel... i have a girlfriend now, my collegues are a lot nicer to me, my family treats me with more respect... how can i repay you except with spreading the message?
I bought a black Seiko 5 military 37mm, and it looked a tiny bit small on my wrist with the original band. I then bought a black/grey striped NATO band (as seen in James Bond Spectre) and now it looks perfect on my wrist. I like the smaller size because it fits under the cuff of my Air Force uniform. You should do a follow up video on watch bands now!
I've always wondered about that watch and what it's like to live with after you buy it. I have a similar wrist size as you. What's it like? Also, you can bring up awful trivia about the Casio F-91W in conversations like how Osama Bin Laden used to wear one or how one was used as part of a time bomb in the 1993 world trade center bombing.
Antonio, I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my biggest inspirations for dressing well and looking my best regularly. I've felt better about my look ever since I started dressing sharp. Thanks for making such in depth videos and covering so many bases. - Xander
Antonio, I don't see what people are paying for in these watches. Battery-operated movements together with mineral glass means a sub $100 watch every time. But it seems these go beyond that. For their price points, I could get way better value with Japanese brands like Casio, Seiko or Citizen.
+raajesh mani The metal case of the watch (the frame around the face) should complement the metal accents of your other accessories. You can wear it with either brown or black.
+Tom VK I have to agree with what Tom said, although he can be kinder with his words... haha. Now... Seiko is a respectable watch brand. They have good mechanical movements and can be quite innovative Their watches are not "cheap". They are great value for money. Another value for money brand I like is Longines. As for being a respectable gentleman, I feel that wearing a respectable mechanical movement timepiece is absolutely necessary. Quartz just won't do. I'm a subscriber to this channel (love the presentation tips and clothing tips), but I won't be listening to anything related to watches in this channel. What I would also like to add one, is with regards to watch to wrist size ratio guides. There is no "definitive" guide. There are many factors (and none of them are definitive) to what size of watches should you wear. Let me give you a personal example. My wrist is 6.75" (considered small) and I wear watches from 40mm-44mm. I have a somewhat muscular build and with my skinny wrist, wearing a bigger watch give more balance to my overall image. With a long sleeved formal shirt, the watch has to be thin enough to go under the cuff though. Also, many of the proper watch brands (Omega, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Hublot etc) designed the lugs of their watches in such a way that the watch IS wearable and will still look good whether they are on a skinny or thicker wrist. *I have 7 mechanical watches, ranging from Omega to Audemars Piguet* P.S: Oh. And the MVMT watches are crap. Right up there with Daniel Wellington in terms of crappiness. Don't buy it. As a gentleman with taste, NEVER GO QUARTZ. Go mechanical (decent movement), or go digital (G-Shock).
mvmt watches sold to people for 100+ (dollars pounds whatever) even though you can buy the same thing without the branding for literally 10 quid....guys just buy an Orient Bambino or any Seiko. Antonio i love your videos but advertising watches like MVMT, The Fifth or Daniel Wellington i feel teaches people the wrong thing about value and money. personally MVMT arent to my taste especially their chronometer watches however i would agree that both the fifth and Daniel Wellington are tasteful designs. so for that respect they do well. that being said there more to style than just looks, there is also value and this is more or less what your channel tries to promote, whether it is value of good shoes value of a good suit or in this case value of a good watch. Personally i dont think it is good practice to advertise watches such as these especially considering i would imagine that a lot of your viewers could be somewhat green to watches and jump on these affordable (yet still overpriced) brands look forward to seeing more of your videos anyways they almost always are very good however this one just bugged me a bit
Benjamin Bradshaw: I bought an Orient Bambino but it runs fast, it'll gain about 6 minutes during the day and I have to reset it, sucks, I thought from the reviews they were really good movements.
I just turned 18 and I've been looking after my first watch for approximately one month, I'd really like to purchase the right one, but it turns out the 40 Black/Tan Leather would be a really nice birthday present. As I also have a small wrist, I think this is the good choice for me. Of course, the main reason why I want to wear a watch is because I've been feeling more and more confident about myself since I've started following this channel (about 1 year ago) and I'm starting to really feel that I'm a man, this year has changed me a lot and I'm pretty sure I can wear a watch now. When I was younger I couldn't wear a watch because I never felt confident enough about it. It's time to go over to the next step in my life ! (The watch is the symbol for that.)
My rule is not so big it looks ridiculous and not so small it looks feminine. I prefer 40-42 mm. I have small wrists, too. But I'm also fairly tall. You ask me, anything bigger than 44 is too big, for anyone. 44 is pushing it.
Wearing a 47mm x 15mm 54mm lug to lug flieger atm on my 8.5 inch wrist and looks great! I don't do lady's watches so anything under 39mm!! Also MMVT? really it's a piece off shit and I would not want to be seen dead with one.
+Real Men Real Style I've a brown slim "skinny" arm, I've been looking for some examples of different wrists to show off the suitable watch for each of them and hopefully those examples may include my wrist style, however, the video talked about "proper proportions", and how the watch itself would have right proportions between it's own components, these are ideal concepts, and are available in mind for sure even before watching the video, what I have hoped to find is how to select a wrist watch style depending on the wrist shape itself and color. after all, thanks for the video and your instant response.
Sorry if I'm late on this or being redundant, but have you addressed the impact of lug to lug measurement on fit beyond band width! Lug to lug can make a smaller watch wear larger or a larger watch wear huge. Thanks for the notes!
I like your programs Antonio. Sorry, but you're wrong about watches. There are only one watches, mechanical state of arts. The quartz or digital are exclusively OK to put on kitchen wall. That's all. Sorry, MVMT are not watches for the gentleman. So go for Japanese mechanical, automatic Seiko watches and/or European, mostly Swiss and German. The best.
I was originally looking for an automatic, but ended up going with an MVMT because it is completely impossible to find an automatic under 300 that looks clean and modern and is larger than 42mm. Yeah it's a shitty quarz watch from a company with no experience in watch making, and yeah, it probably will fall apart after a year, but at least I don't look like a pompous wannabe when I'm wearing it. I'm 24, I don't want a dress watch or a clunky chronograph, I just want something clean and understated that doesn't look ridiculously small on my 7.4 inch wrist. Am I the only one here or are Seiko, Tissot and all the other "good" watch makers neglecting younger audiences?
Quartz are a great everyday watch for accuracy, convenience and affordability. There's little need for maintenance (battery replacement every few years), you lose less than a sec everyday for an average/good quartz and it's overall more reliable. With a seiko or other average Swiss eta, you still lose or gain anywhere between 2-6s a day. Want it to be more accurate and the price goes up very quickly. It can't go near electronics for fear of magnetism, a knock may dmg the movement, sending in a watch for maintenance every few years can easily buy you a new watch, especially those in house movements.. Don't get me wrong, I love mechanical watches but while some people go for the history and craftsmanship and all, others just for the appearance/look, and there's nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day, as long as it compliments your outfit and makes you feel good, you can wear any damn thing you want.
hello good day.. my wrist was exactly 6inches, and my question is can i wear a 44mm size of diameter? according in stardard choosing a watch please help me thank you
I have in my wishlist a Hamilton Khaki Field 40mm my wrist measures like 7.5 in. for sure, no less than 7” no more than 7.5”. this is right for me? or I try to find a 42mm?
I have been given an Olma watch which is 32mm of diameter by my father, and my wrist is approximately 6.5 inches. Do you think 32 mm watch is too small for my wrist? Thanks
I Like the Rose Gold and Brown Leather. I have a 7.5 inch wrist.Antonio, Is there a reason you wear your wedding band on your right hand and your watch on the left? I wear both on the left?
Antonio, do you happen to know a company that makes custom watch bands? I currently have a Samsung Gear S2 watch and I hate the rubber band Samsung uses and I'm looking to see if I can have a bracelet style band made for this thing.
Hey there! Great video. Just wondering. I really like this watch, unfortunately it's 43mm and my wrist is 6.5inch. Do you think I can still pull it off?
Hey, serious question here, how is that watch from them holding up? I heard some bad things but I actually liked the way they looked. Can you tell me how the watch you kept from them is holding up now and has it ever stopped working all of a sudden or anything like that??
+Ishraq Haider (qarhsi) Thanks for playing Ishraq. You gotta be more specific next time - there are 9 styles in that category and you needed to choose one. I do appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring.
My wrists are quite slim. I looked on the website and i really like some watches, but those only come in 45mm. My wrist is 16,5cm round and 6cm broad of you look from the top. Will a 45mm look okey on that?
Great guide! what do you think about using tiny old classic watches like the omega seamaster 30mm?, i think those watches are the chrono black leather and the chrono all black
Never commented before on any video, but thought this short presentation was outstanding. I have nine inch wrists which allow me to go big, though a Deep Sea is as big as I want to lug around. In the watch world (IMP), nothing appears sillier than a thin wrist with an outsized watch on it, especially if it is a flamboyant or bright colored metal. Vintage, inherited or gifted models are an exception, though it wont make them less awkward looking. I have the opposite problem: two wonderful 60+ dress watches that are tiny (though normal in their day) and look like toys on my wrists. Nice job.
Another great thing to remember is lug to lug distance in millimeters. There are some watches that have a 45 mm dial but don’t have a larger lug to lug and vice versa. Great video keep up the great work.
It is very nice to see the likes of yourself and Aaron from AlphaM are talking about watches, which I believe to be one of the essential components of dressing sharp. Usually watch enthusiasts do not try to reach out to commoners and hence most men do not get to know enough about watches and this is exactly why we need more videos like this. May be you can take the topic a little bit deeper next time explaining chrono, tachymeter and other functions of watches, would be really nice to see those videos. Lastly, I think the blue jacket is just amazing and as always crisp presentation made the video informative and enjoyable. Cheers. Thank you.
My best guess for the win is the black/silver leather classic. My very favorite is the white/black tan leather, but I'm going for the other since someone guessed the best one! I really love your stuff, Antonio. Thanks!
hello Antonio, I own a MMVT classic , since their launch, its a supper wach, i love it an had often had people tell how nice it is.. (i have the silver rim, white dail, and tan strap)... but there are two things i'd like to add to you article; - thickness in regards to shirts, i'v often found that some watches (including the mmvt clasic) are to thick to wear with some dress shirts, if the cuffs are more long and more tight, tha wach will not fit under or infrond of it... - strap material, especially in the summer, leather bands can tend to get smelly from sweat, (cleaning them with bi-carbonate helps for a few days), so now i'm thinking about ordering a second (the 40mm) mmvt watch with a metal band, for this reason what are your toughts on these matters? kind regards, JH
Is "case diameter" the same as "dial diameter", or does the dial diameter not include the crown/bezel? Because I've seen watches online that only state the dial diameter and dispite being 40mm, they look ridiculously big on the customer's wrists.
Case diameter generally doesn't include the crown. You'll often see 2 different measurements on websites, one with the crown and one without the crown. Lug to lug is very important too, since they can add on a lot to the overall length of a watch and make it look too big.
Hi there Antonio, hope you are well. I have a question but isn't really related to watches. What advice would you give someone who works from Mondays to Fridays but doesn't really want to do much laundry. Meaning I don't wish to have to wash 5 sets of shirts and pants by the end of the week. How can I match the shirts and parts using few sets of clothes so that I look different everyday without everyone thinking I'm dirty for wearing clothes I worn yesterday. Point to note is that my shirts are still clean at the end of each day as I work in an air conditioned environment. Thanks
+Planetary Impact Great job, you guessed one of the watches! Unfortunately we only had one to give away and you were beat to the punch by another commentator. That being said, I want to send you a consolidation prize. Contact me here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
I have 6.3inch wrist and I would/should like to go for a 38mm watch. However, no one of the brands I like sell a 38mm watch! Looking for a timeless steel mesh watch like Skagen SKW 6240.
Seiko make loads of 37-39mm watches, and aftermarket mesh straps can be bought on amazon or ebay easily enough. It's also easy to change a strap yourself, provided you buy a dirt cheap springbar tool.
the mens chrono black leather looks amazing in 45mm! hopefully im right another great video again antonio im a big fan of watches and always have been since i was 10. theres just something so refined about checking the time on your watch rather than on a phone
i have a watch "nautica a37504 (you can google it)" it cost 200 dollars however the watch has been discontinued by the company can i expect an increase in the price of this watch or is the price degrading
It's a quartz from a borderline unknown brand, don't expect the price to ever go up on it. In fact, I'd say you'd be lucky to sell it for 50. Sorry man, watches rarely go up in value. There has to be mass demand for it, and that is too obscure and too overpriced for there to be any demand.
Started watching your videos a couple months ago. I'm at the point where I want to be more mature and professional out and about. A lot of your videos are very helpful. I am starting to look for a watch that's professional, I have a 7.5-8" wrist. What would you recommend for a size?
Very insightful video, my wrists around the same Size 6inch so anything 38mm to 40mm for me looks great as I've got decent biceps which Is why I always get compliments on my watches.
Great video Tony, thanks! I just bought a DW watch (over internet), really nice classy look but the face is too small for my wrist it's 40 and my wrist is a big one - 7.9 inch. so I'm returning it. The watch is really nice, but as you say the proportion is more important. In my opinion guys, avoid ordering watched over the internet. It's better to try them for the following reasons: 1. The case diameter and the proportion to your wrist. 2. The strap size ( both width and length). The DW strap is a bit shorter for my wrist and I buckle it at almost the last hole. 3. The weight of the watch and how it feels to wear it. I hate heavy watches. 4. The overall feeling of wearing the watch. 5. Sometimes the colors and the look of the watch are pretty different from what you see on the site. That's it. Good luck finding the perfect one! Best, Emil
+Emil Hristov That's true! Proportion is really important. Yeah - seeing it up close is better. I would say before you buy the watch online - read up on reviews about it. www.realmenrealstyle.com/watch-size/
+Real Men Real Style Just got my Fifth. I'm very pleased with everything - design, color, size, strap. The face is 43mm and it fits very well on my wrist. The strap is a bit shorter but it's ok :) I definitely recommend it. Greetings from Bulgaria Tony!
Great video and greetings from the Netherlands! The 40 - Blue/Brown Leather looks awesome. I'm always struggling to find a nice watch, so this guide really helps.
+Justin van der Wegen Thank you Justin. Unfortunately I don't have it in that style. I do appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring. Cheers Netherlands!
That is a great video, the coming days we're going to buy a wrist watch for my boyfriend, we're thinking of gold and brown because it's going to match most of his outfits... thank you again, it was very helpful! :)
Both the black and the brown leather bracelets that you showed pictured with the watches look pretty sweet too. Please also let us know where to acquire those and who the manufacturer is. Thanks. In terms of watches, the ones with the ice blue colored dials really grab and hold my attention. Love em'.

165 cm is more than 5 feet
Is this information or just an advertisement pushing this crap watch brand? It's too obvious dude, try again...

Dear antonio, i started following your channel since about a few weeks ago, i actually just want to personally thank you for turning my life around, since i started watching, i have changed my wardrobe, wich led to a boost in my selfconfidence because people actually started noticing me and treating me a lot more respectfully, wich led to me start to eat a lot healthier wich led to me also feeling a lot better in my skin. i have become a better man because of you... i was on the brink of comitting suicide because nobody seemed to care about me, and your tips and tricks were so effective, i mean like, i watched about most of the videos u posted in one night, went to the mall next day, got a new wardrobe, some nice watches, cosmetics, applied your tips, and litteraly from the next day i noticed peoples behaviour toward me changing, my boss suddenly started noticing me, i got like tons of likes on my new facebook profile pictures, (most them from really attractive women)... this may sound really stupid but you have saved my life with your channel... i have a girlfriend now, my collegues are a lot nicer to me, my family treats me with more respect... how can i repay you except with spreading the message?
Funny how Alpha M also posted a video about these watches earlier. 😛
Who is alpha m
I bought a black Seiko 5 military 37mm, and it looked a tiny bit small on my wrist with the original band. I then bought a black/grey striped NATO band (as seen in James Bond Spectre) and now it looks perfect on my wrist. I like the smaller size because it fits under the cuff of my Air Force uniform. You should do a follow up video on watch bands now!
Hi, i was wondering what is the smart watch that you show at 328 in your video ?
I have 8" wrists and rock the f91w. I like it because of its retro look. I think that's what matter most, individual preferences
Same here. I can barely put mine on, but thanks to its big face, it's still readable.
I've always wondered about that watch and what it's like to live with after you buy it. I have a similar wrist size as you. What's it like?
Also, you can bring up awful trivia about the Casio F-91W in conversations like how Osama Bin Laden used to wear one or how one was used as part of a time bomb in the 1993 world trade center bombing.
Antonio, I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my biggest inspirations for dressing well and looking my best regularly. I've felt better about my look ever since I started dressing sharp. Thanks for making such in depth videos and covering so many bases. - Xander
+TMBfan Thank you for the kind words Xander. I wish you the best on your style journey.
Being a watch snob I hate hearing ppl who don't know shit about watches TRY to give 'generic' watch advice.
What's wrong? I mean the MVMT watches are what Archie would call a horological nightmare but his advice wasn't that bad so what's your problem?
What would you recommend if you have a smaller than 6 inch wrist?

+Real Men Real Style Yeah, I saw alpha m. post a video on this watch too :) thanks antonio
+Kiron Kabir Yes he did :)
Anthony Mowbray looooll you know the dudes bad when he's sponsoring mvmt
So we're endorsing $3 Chinese movements now...
Antonio, I don't see what people are paying for in these watches. Battery-operated movements together with mineral glass means a sub $100 watch every time. But it seems these go beyond that. For their price points, I could get way better value with Japanese brands like Casio, Seiko or Citizen.
I have around a 6.5 inch wrist and was wondering, would a seiko skx007?
Can't believe you'd promote that particular brand of watch
Antonio , plz tell me which kinda dress/suit should i choose for a watch lined with both gold and silver...??
+raajesh mani The metal case of the watch (the frame around the face) should complement the metal accents of your other accessories. You can wear it with either brown or black.
+Tom VK I have to agree with what Tom said, although he can be kinder with his words... haha.
Now... Seiko is a respectable watch brand. They have good mechanical movements and can be quite innovative
Their watches are not "cheap". They are great value for money. Another value for money brand I like is Longines.
As for being a respectable gentleman, I feel that wearing a respectable mechanical movement timepiece is absolutely necessary. Quartz just won't do.
I'm a subscriber to this channel (love the presentation tips and clothing tips), but I won't be listening to anything related to watches in this channel.
What I would also like to add one, is with regards to watch to wrist size ratio guides. There is no "definitive" guide.
There are many factors (and none of them are definitive) to what size of watches should you wear. Let me give you a personal example. My wrist is 6.75" (considered small) and I wear watches from 40mm-44mm.
I have a somewhat muscular build and with my skinny wrist, wearing a bigger watch give more balance to my overall image. With a long sleeved formal shirt, the watch has to be thin enough to go under the cuff though.
Also, many of the proper watch brands (Omega, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Hublot etc) designed the lugs of their watches in such a way that the watch IS wearable and will still look good whether they are on a skinny or thicker wrist.
*I have 7 mechanical watches, ranging from Omega to Audemars Piguet*
P.S: Oh. And the MVMT watches are crap. Right up there with Daniel Wellington in terms of crappiness. Don't buy it. As a gentleman with taste, NEVER GO QUARTZ. Go mechanical (decent movement), or go digital (G-Shock).
Hi Antonio Can give some advice on casio g shock i have 6 and half wrist what is ideal?
mvmt watches sold to people for 100+ (dollars pounds whatever) even though you can buy the same thing without the branding for literally 10 quid....guys just buy an Orient Bambino or any Seiko.
Antonio i love your videos but advertising watches like MVMT, The Fifth or Daniel Wellington i feel teaches people the wrong thing about value and money.
personally MVMT arent to my taste especially their chronometer watches however i would agree that both the fifth and Daniel Wellington are tasteful designs. so for that respect they do well.
that being said there more to style than just looks, there is also value and this is more or less what your channel tries to promote, whether it is value of good shoes value of a good suit or in this case value of a good watch.
Personally i dont think it is good practice to advertise watches such as these especially considering i would imagine that a lot of your viewers could be somewhat green to watches and jump on these affordable (yet still overpriced) brands
look forward to seeing more of your videos anyways they almost always are very good however this one just bugged me a bit
Benjamin Bradshaw: I bought an Orient Bambino but it runs fast, it'll gain about 6 minutes during the day and I have to reset it, sucks, I thought from the reviews they were really good movements.
I just turned 18 and I've been looking after my first watch for approximately one month, I'd really like to purchase the right one, but it turns out the 40 Black/Tan Leather would be a really nice birthday present. As I also have a small wrist, I think this is the good choice for me.
Of course, the main reason why I want to wear a watch is because I've been feeling more and more confident about myself since I've started following this channel (about 1 year ago) and I'm starting to really feel that I'm a man, this year has changed me a lot and I'm pretty sure I can wear a watch now. When I was younger I couldn't wear a watch because I never felt confident enough about it. It's time to go over to the next step in my life ! (The watch is the symbol for that.)
+Champi Gnon Glad you liked it - Thanks for playing. Unfortunately I don't have it in that style. I do appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring.
My rule is not so big it looks ridiculous and not so small it looks feminine. I prefer 40-42 mm. I have small wrists, too. But I'm also fairly tall. You ask me, anything bigger than 44 is too big, for anyone. 44 is pushing it.
Will these straps fit around a 9 inch wrist?
Wearing a 47mm x 15mm 54mm lug to lug flieger atm on my 8.5 inch wrist and looks great! I don't do lady's watches so anything under 39mm!! Also MMVT? really it's a piece off shit and I would not want to be seen dead with one.
So 38mm watches are ladies watches? Are you a special kind of stupid?
@@darthgiggity7948 LOL There's always one! Nice try...
Antonio
Do you still have those watches ill try to go to the site and select my favorite.
you just made me more confused instead of removing the confusion that I've already
What made it more confusing?
+Real Men Real Style I've a brown slim "skinny" arm, I've been looking for some examples of different wrists to show off the suitable watch for each of them and hopefully those examples may include my wrist style, however, the video talked about "proper proportions", and how the watch itself would have right proportions between it's own components, these are ideal concepts, and are available in mind for sure even before watching the video, what I have hoped to find is how to select a wrist watch style depending on the wrist shape itself and color.
after all, thanks for the video and your instant response.
Sorry if I'm late on this or being redundant, but have you addressed the impact of lug to lug measurement on fit beyond band width! Lug to lug can make a smaller watch wear larger or a larger watch wear huge. Thanks for the notes!
I like your programs Antonio. Sorry, but you're wrong about watches. There are only one watches, mechanical state of arts. The quartz or digital are exclusively OK to put on kitchen wall. That's all. Sorry, MVMT are not watches for the gentleman.
So go for Japanese mechanical, automatic Seiko watches and/or European, mostly Swiss and German.
The best.
That's just elitism bullshit, though.
I was originally looking for an automatic, but ended up going with an MVMT because it is completely impossible to find an automatic under 300 that looks clean and modern and is larger than 42mm. Yeah it's a shitty quarz watch from a company with no experience in watch making, and yeah, it probably will fall apart after a year, but at least I don't look like a pompous wannabe when I'm wearing it. I'm 24, I don't want a dress watch or a clunky chronograph, I just want something clean and understated that doesn't look ridiculously small on my 7.4 inch wrist. Am I the only one here or are Seiko, Tissot and all the other "good" watch makers neglecting younger audiences?
Quartz are a great everyday watch for accuracy, convenience and affordability. There's little need for maintenance (battery replacement every few years), you lose less than a sec everyday for an average/good quartz and it's overall more reliable. With a seiko or other average Swiss eta, you still lose or gain anywhere between 2-6s a day. Want it to be more accurate and the price goes up very quickly. It can't go near electronics for fear of magnetism, a knock may dmg the movement, sending in a watch for maintenance every few years can easily buy you a new watch, especially those in house movements..
Don't get me wrong, I love mechanical watches but while some people go for the history and craftsmanship and all, others just for the appearance/look, and there's nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day, as long as it compliments your outfit and makes you feel good, you can wear any damn thing you want.
I agree...these so called fashion watches lacks class...
@@dsofe4879 seiko5
hello good day.. my wrist was exactly 6inches, and my question is can i wear a 44mm size of diameter? according in stardard choosing a watch please help me thank you
10mm thickness is actually really slim...
This is the first time I ever heard about watch size selection no one ever given importance to detailing. Thanks for educating.
Ewww garbage hipster brand.. Mmvt watch what a joke. Get a seiko or a timex
I have in my wishlist a Hamilton Khaki Field 40mm my wrist measures like 7.5 in. for sure, no less than 7” no more than 7.5”. this is right for me? or I try to find a 42mm?
I have been given an Olma watch which is 32mm of diameter by my father, and my wrist is approximately 6.5 inches. Do you think 32 mm watch is too small for my wrist? Thanks
I Like the Rose Gold and Brown Leather. I have a 7.5 inch wrist.Antonio, Is there a reason you wear your wedding band on your right hand and your watch on the left? I wear both on the left?
5:13, 5:42 where can I find those leather wristband accessories??
I'm glad I got to see this video before buying a new watch and after watching a few of your videos about watches :)
Hey Antonio, I was wondering if it matters/looks wrong if I wear a watch on my right hand instead of left. I hate how the crown digs into my hand
Antonio, do you happen to know a company that makes custom watch bands? I currently have a Samsung Gear S2 watch and I hate the rubber band Samsung uses and I'm looking to see if I can have a bracelet style band made for this thing.
Hey there! Great video. Just wondering. I really like this watch, unfortunately it's 43mm and my wrist is 6.5inch. Do you think I can still pull it off?
Can we use G-Shock in formal wear???
If my wrist is larger than 7.5 inches should I stick to a 45mm case diameter or could go down to a 42mm?
Is led watches ok for skinny hands ?
Where did you get your suit? Or where i could get that color, i love that color on a suit.
Hey I was lookin for a budget watch with a compass and I feel like this is valid but I want to get your opinion
Hi Antonio my watches can spin a little bit on my hand does it mean it is small
Whats a decent case thickness for when you are wearing a suit & tie?
Hi the chronological lunar/Gold looks amazing! would that be what you have? thanks
+Alex Hazeem Good guess. Unfortunately I don't have it in that style. I do appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring.
Hey, serious question here, how is that watch from them holding up? I heard some bad things but I actually liked the way they looked. Can you tell me how the watch you kept from them is holding up now and has it ever stopped working all of a sudden or anything like that??
mvmnt classic rose gold black or brown leather strap?
Really loving the classic Black/Black design, is it one of them?
Hi Antonio, I'd love to have the MEN'S CHRONO watch if it's alright. Thanks!
+Ishraq Haider (qarhsi) Thanks for playing Ishraq. You gotta be more specific next time - there are 9 styles in that category and you needed to choose one. I do appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring.
+Real Men Real Style Thanks Antonio!
For 17.5 CAN i wear a 43 mm or 45 watch? Thanks
Let me guess, did you get the Black/Tan Leather Classic or a Gunmetal/Sandstone Chrono?
My wrists are quite slim. I looked on the website and i really like some watches, but those only come in 45mm. My wrist is 16,5cm round and 6cm broad of you look from the top. Will a 45mm look okey on that?
Way too big, I'd say. Unless it's a pilot's watch, they're supposed to be oversized.
Great guide! what do you think about using tiny old classic watches like the omega seamaster 30mm?, i think those watches are the chrono black leather and the chrono all black
Never commented before on any video, but thought this short presentation was outstanding. I have nine inch wrists which allow me to go big, though a Deep Sea is as big as I want to lug around. In the watch world (IMP), nothing appears sillier than a thin wrist with an outsized watch on it, especially if it is a flamboyant or bright colored metal. Vintage, inherited or gifted models are an exception, though it wont make them less awkward looking. I have the opposite problem: two wonderful 60+ dress watches that are tiny (though normal in their day) and look like toys on my wrists. Nice job.
my wrist measured about7 inch diameter, what case diameter should i prefer?
i have really small wrist around 17 cm but the watch' bracelet I want to buy is minimum 20 cm should I pass??
Hai I would love to know abt digital watch. cause I dnt have any of those and want to buy one. kindly suggest.
Another great thing to remember is lug to lug distance in millimeters. There are some watches that have a 45 mm dial but don’t have a larger lug to lug and vice versa. Great video keep up the great work.
Is the Rolex Explorer the right size for my wrist? Please advise.
Explorer I or II? 36mm or 39mm? How big is your wrist?
So i think i have about 6 or 6 1/2 wrist size. So the 34mm case diameter watch is too small for me?
It is very nice to see the likes of yourself and Aaron from AlphaM are talking about watches, which I believe to be one of the essential components of dressing sharp. Usually watch enthusiasts do not try to reach out to commoners and hence most men do not get to know enough about watches and this is exactly why we need more videos like this.
May be you can take the topic a little bit deeper next time explaining chrono, tachymeter and other functions of watches, would be really nice to see those videos.
Lastly, I think the blue jacket is just amazing and as always crisp presentation made the video informative and enjoyable. Cheers. Thank you.
+saby8765 I'll try. Thanks for the suggestion.
My best guess for the win is the black/silver leather classic. My very favorite is the white/black tan leather, but I'm going for the other since someone guessed the best one! I really love your stuff, Antonio. Thanks!
Is it ok to wear G-shock style wrist watches or chain watches are more better?
Marian Kotúč thank you I am 22
hello Antonio, I own a MMVT classic , since their launch, its a supper wach, i love it an had often had people tell how nice it is.. (i have the silver rim, white dail, and tan strap)... but there are two things i'd like to add to you article;
- thickness in regards to shirts, i'v often found that some watches (including the mmvt clasic) are to thick to wear with some dress shirts, if the cuffs are more long and more tight, tha wach will not fit under or infrond of it...
- strap material, especially in the summer, leather bands can tend to get smelly from sweat, (cleaning them with bi-carbonate helps for a few days), so now i'm thinking about ordering a second (the 40mm) mmvt watch with a metal band, for this reason
what are your toughts on these matters?
kind regards,
JH
Is "case diameter" the same as "dial diameter", or does the dial diameter not include the crown/bezel? Because I've seen watches online that only state the dial diameter and dispite being 40mm, they look ridiculously big on the customer's wrists.
Case diameter generally doesn't include the crown. You'll often see 2 different measurements on websites, one with the crown and one without the crown. Lug to lug is very important too, since they can add on a lot to the overall length of a watch and make it look too big.
Hi there Antonio, hope you are well. I have a question but isn't really related to watches.
What advice would you give someone who works from Mondays to Fridays but doesn't really want to do much laundry. Meaning I don't wish to have to wash 5 sets of shirts and pants by the end of the week.
How can I match the shirts and parts using few sets of clothes so that I look different everyday without everyone thinking I'm dirty for wearing clothes I worn yesterday. Point to note is that my shirts are still clean at the end of each day as I work in an air conditioned environment.
Thanks
+Kenzo Chin Great to hear from you Kenzo. Build an interchangeable wardrobe - www.realmenrealstyle.com/build-interchangeable-wardrobe/
+Real Men Real Style wow nice! Didn't know there was a term for it. Much appreciated Antonio!
my wrist are 7-8cm wide and i have seen a nice watch online but it's case diameter is 50mm would that be fine or would it be to big
50mm is too big for the vast majority of humans.
I'm having 4.5cm wrist, what size of watch should I purchase and in what categories ?
My favorite is the subdued look of the 45MM Chrono All Black. Thank You for all your style guides and tips!
+Planetary Impact
Great job, you guessed one of the watches! Unfortunately we only had one to give away and you were beat to the punch by another commentator. That being said, I want to send you a consolidation prize. Contact me here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
+Real Men Real Style Please make sure to include your TH-cam name/Full name
I have 6.3inch wrist and I would/should like to go for a 38mm watch. However, no one of the brands I like sell a 38mm watch! Looking for a timeless steel mesh watch like Skagen SKW 6240.
Seiko make loads of 37-39mm watches, and aftermarket mesh straps can be bought on amazon or ebay easily enough. It's also easy to change a strap yourself, provided you buy a dirt cheap springbar tool.
the mens chrono black leather looks amazing in 45mm! hopefully im right another great video again antonio im a big fan of watches and always have been since i was 10. theres just something so refined about checking the time on your watch rather than on a phone
I love the watch at 5:11 with the light silver face and leather band. It just looks fantastic!
+FlonoTV Also, I dont have a watch and would definitely buy this one if I had the money :)
The 40 - Black/Tan Leather looks very stylish. I hope it's inside one of those boxes and I hope I get it. I would fit perfectly my wardrobe and style!
Perfect timing for the release of this video! I'm going tomorrow to buy a watch and I just saw this.
+Kiron Kabir Glad it helped! :)
I want an apple watch and my wrist is 5and a half to 6inches should I get the 42mm or 38mm watch
I'm a big fan of the rose gold with the brown leather. Keep the videos coming I love all your advice.
i have a watch "nautica a37504 (you can google it)" it cost 200 dollars however the watch has been discontinued by the company can i expect an increase in the price of this watch or is the price degrading
It's a quartz from a borderline unknown brand, don't expect the price to ever go up on it. In fact, I'd say you'd be lucky to sell it for 50. Sorry man, watches rarely go up in value. There has to be mass demand for it, and that is too obscure and too overpriced for there to be any demand.
Started watching your videos a couple months ago. I'm at the point where I want to be more mature and professional out and about. A lot of your videos are very helpful. I am starting to look for a watch that's professional, I have a 7.5-8" wrist. What would you recommend for a size?
What about how to know about matching colours of watches to clothing? Brown leather, gold, silver. Elegant vs more high tech or rustic...?
i have very small hand ...the perimeter of my wrist is 17cm and its very thin... what watch can i buy ??
Very insightful video, my wrists around the same Size 6inch so anything 38mm to 40mm for me looks great as I've got decent biceps which Is why I always get compliments on my watches.
Great video Tony, thanks! I just bought a DW watch (over internet), really nice classy look but the face is too small for my wrist it's 40 and my wrist is a big one - 7.9 inch. so I'm returning it. The watch is really nice, but as you say the proportion is more important. In my opinion guys, avoid ordering watched over the internet. It's better to try them for the following reasons:
1. The case diameter and the proportion to your wrist.
2. The strap size ( both width and length). The DW strap is a bit shorter for my wrist and I buckle it at almost the last hole.
3. The weight of the watch and how it feels to wear it. I hate heavy watches.
4. The overall feeling of wearing the watch.
5. Sometimes the colors and the look of the watch are pretty different from what you see on the site.
That's it. Good luck finding the perfect one!
Best,
Emil
+Emil Hristov That's true! Proportion is really important. Yeah - seeing it up close is better. I would say before you buy the watch online - read up on reviews about it. www.realmenrealstyle.com/watch-size/
+Real Men Real Style
Just got my Fifth. I'm very pleased with everything - design, color, size, strap. The face is 43mm and it fits very well on my wrist. The strap is a bit shorter but it's ok :) I definitely recommend it.
Greetings from Bulgaria Tony!
Great video and greetings from the Netherlands! The 40 - Blue/Brown Leather looks awesome. I'm always struggling to find a nice watch, so this guide really helps.
+Justin van der Wegen Thank you Justin. Unfortunately I don't have it in that style. I do appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring. Cheers Netherlands!
That is a great video, the coming days we're going to buy a wrist watch for my boyfriend, we're thinking of gold and brown because it's going to match most of his outfits... thank you again, it was very helpful! :)
Both the black and the brown leather bracelets that you showed pictured with the watches look pretty sweet too. Please also let us know where to acquire those and who the manufacturer is. Thanks. In terms of watches, the ones with the ice blue colored dials really grab and hold my attention. Love em'.
I have 6.3 inch diamater is a 44mm good for me?
Lug to lug width has to be included too. I have a 6.6 inch wrist. I buy anything which has a 50mm lug to lug width.
Check this video. I think it will give you a much better idea.
Bought a Longines 190th Anniversary Master Collection in Stainless Steel. And it fits perfectly on my 6 and a half inch wrist.
I am 6.5 wrist , Do u think 22 leather band with 43 or 42 diameter will fit on me ?
Arnaldo Leon No!😎👍
I already got the watch and it fits good on me, it looks nice, Thanks Antonio.
