- If you have wrists that are thinner than 7" around, I think wearing watches for small wrists (anything under 40mm case diameter) is the way to go. In this video, I've asked some of my favorite watch enthusiasts here on TH-cam to share their picks for the best watches for small wrists. I also share one of my current favorite small watches, the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical 38mm.

What's your favorite smaller watch (under 40mm)? Here's my pick - amzn.to/2QQwvmT
Bit surprising that none mentioned the Junghans MaxBill automatic.
timex marlin 34mm
@@dedegede3882 that is a great choice!
38mm Khaki field II
The 80hr power reserve and the accuracy of the ETA is fantastic!
Grand Seiko Snowflake and ALS Lange 1.
This was a lot of fun, Brock. Thanks again for having me on and great picks by everyone!
Teddy you know the things that Nomos does to me....
The Kavalier hahaha part of the motivation of mentioning it ;)
Who knew such a simple video would get so hot ;) Great recommendations guys!
I thought I have to find a small watch since I have small wrist and 🤔
This is how a watch video is done. Alpha M take notes!
No love for MVMT? ;)
shots fired
Norseman : yah Alpha is annoying as ....
@@TimedSquare I'll take that as a sarcastic comment 😛
Yessss, I'm sick of the huge fashion watches going around right now!
We know, Ben 🤪🤪
I own a 54mm MVMT I was thiiiis close to featuring in my segment
Just wanted to be in this thread of legends.
0:46 Brock is a man after my heart. Thank you for including us tall slender guys too!
That was the best part :)
Rad video, thanks for having me on Brock! I’ve definitely added a few watches to my wishlist after watching this
Excellent point by Teddy. We always tend to ignore the lug to lug and that is as important as is the lug shape to determine if a watch fits your wrist.
That bit with alot of other people in the watch community was absolutely awesome because I watch them all, really cool!
Thanks for having us on!! Such a pleasure!
I know right
One of THEE best watch video collabs of the year! Hands down. Loving this channel.
What a fantastic, helpful and enjoyable video (featuring several of my favorite TH-camrs...without any of the sellouts). Just Lovely. You have a new sub.
Brock, thanks again for having me on your list. Great hosts and choices, and I had a lot of fun making this one. Cheers from Belgium!
Hey Brock and thanks for the video. The way you bring different youtubers together is awesome! Can't wait for your next one, all the best!
The quality content on this video is amazing. All of the watches shown have such great character.
I like Alessandro's pick, the Sieko, the best. As a person with small wrists the bulk of a men's style watch can be uncomfortable with their width and knobs. Alessandro's had the masculine look while also being streamlined and comfortable in appearance.
Great collaboration video. Enjoyed every watch shown. Just subscribed. Thanks.
This is a much needed video. I still have my Pulsar from the 80s. Discovered Seiko in the 90s as great for small wrists and still have that also. Great suggestions from all of these guys.
Marvellous video, love the collaboration!
Thanks for focusing on those of us with smaller wrists! My favorite small watch is my TAG 2000 auto that I purchased new in ‘04. 37mm, ETA 2824-2, blue dial. I’ve had it serviced once since then & it keeps great time & looks good.
Enjoyed that, thank you. Anything over 40mm is basically a clock if you ask me. My wrist is actually fairly large, but being a relic from a bygone age I suppose my idea of what constitutes normal when it comes to watch sizes is somewhat out of date. Currently wearing a 1950s Eloga, 31.5mm diameter. Arguably it makes me look even more like Shrek than need be, but it's a watch I adore and that's all that matters.
I also have to add that the lug to lug measurement of a watch is super crucial when having a smaller wrist. My 44 (!!!) mm seiko turtle wears so much smaller than one would think, due to its short lugs. However, it does have a lot more wrist presence.
Matthijs Hogendoorn couldn’t agree more...I also have a Turtle and was very surprised with how it wears based on its 44mm diameter
I would say the case diameter is not really too important when considering a watch for smaller wrists (take it from someone with a 6” wrist!). You should pay attention to the lug-to-lug length (from one end of the watch to the opposing end), the curvature of the lugs (this will determine how well the watch hugs your wrist), and the height of the case-back (the less the case-back protrudes, the better the watch will hug your wrist).
I own a Tudor Black Bay which is technically larger than a Rolex Submariner, but because of the flatter case-back, it actually wears smaller despite the larger case diameter.
Yes I have a Casio Royale and although case is fairly big the lug to lug length is really small making it a very wearable watch for smaller. Really recommend it to anybody reading!
So true my friend. I have a 6-1/4" wrist. I own a Citizen NY0040, which is 41,3 mm wide. But lug to lug is short so it works perfectly on me. Also, the dial is black and small, and the bezel is is a bit shorter than the width of the watch. All this make it look smaller than it is. Same for my G-Shock M5610.
I tried the Hamilton khaki field mechanical, which is 38mm. And man this watch has way too long lugs, whick makes it too big for me (and ugly when worn on leather strap).
woow. this is a great video. Soo innovative and fresh touch on TH-cam fashion section. great work man
Brock , I absolutely love this video. I never knew what size watch face would be right . Thanks for clarifying , under 40 mm is great advice.
Great video! Love the collaboration!!
What an awesome video! Great to see you guys collaborate on this 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank You all for the recommendations and watches available for small wrist! Enjoyed the Video Brock! Well Done!
Fantastic video. Great work and keep it up.
This was a great video, I follow all those guys so it’s cool to see them all in on this collaboration.
The picks were great!
I also like the Tudor prince date day 36mm ( maybe more affordable alternative to the Rolex DJ)
I’d love to add the Tank to my collection!
Just what I needed, thank you 🙏
Brock, I agree with you 100%. I own a number of the watches mentioned by others, BUT I find I wear my Hamilton Khaki mechanical more often than the others. The case size spans a wide range of wrist sizes, and the lug to lug length is perfect for my smaller wrist.
I agree too, I have the 34mm version & it's a blast. Very comfortable on a Nato strap. You should try it!:)
Really useful video and well put together
I needed this so much
Was already subbed to everyone (; Great video Brock!
Good video. Thanks and much appreciate for your efforts
2 watches that I own that fall into this category that I love so much. My Datejust 116234 which is my grail and I have in a silver dial. This watch, as mentioned in the video, is timeless and elegant. A fading alternative that will so be very hard to obtain is the Seiko Sarb035 which has a cream dial and is similar styling to the Datejust but with a Seiko flavor to it. It works great on the bracelet but dresses up so nice on a leather strap. This watch is probably one of the best for the price.
The Rolex 11600 Blue Dial, the Hamilton Khaki, Rado Original DiaStar, the Nixon Minimalist, the Timex Marlin 34.
Hey Brock, nice to meet you. You got a good quality yt channel. Very informative.
I enjoyed this collaboration between watch reviewers! My two favorite small watches so far are the 34mm Junghans Max Bill and the 36mm Glycine Combat 6. My next watch will probably be the 33.5 mm Seiko Dolce SACM171.
Another vote for the Glycine, as it’s my daily and can be had reasonably. I quit looking for that “One” watch after purchasing it.
Thank you for sharing! I've been searching around for years, and recently ordered a Junghans Max Bill Damen 33mm (I prefer its thinner case over the 34mm). Seiko Dolce and Glycine Combat 6 did not pop up in any of my filtered searches. Now I know there are two more affordable options for my smaller wrist. My only watch for now is 35mm Citizen SID66-5191 Eco-drive, very slim and no need for battery or maintenance.
Seiko SARB. Perfect dimensions (38x11x20x45), highly versatile, quality timepiece from a respected brand for a reasonable price.
Amazing video Brock!! my favorite youtuber.
waiting for this!
Great video.
That O.P. Date was awesome!
Thanks for the video. My favourite watch for my smaller wrist is the Stowa Marine Classic 36, fantastic watch with a lot of history behind it.
Seiko 5 - that is nice one for the budget. For something everyday different that is more premium than Seiko 5, the Sinn 556. I like my Orient Bambino, but it is a weird size at 40.5mm and 21 inch lug size for a dress watch, but fun and affordable watch.
This is a great quality content. Really helps me to buy a watch because i have a small wrist
Man thank you so much for this vid, as a shorter guy it’s always hard to find watches that don’t look huge on me
same
Did the Nomos get sold new with the brown strap shown at 5:11? I can't see it on their website. Just curious whether they might be available with that strap if buying used, or whether the strap has to be added separately.
I bought the Seiko Alpinist about 5 years ago. Ordered it online and was quite disappointed in the size when it arrived. It just seemed too small. My wrist is just under 8". But I soon came to love the size and the way it looks on my wrist. Kind of modest and understated. I'd love to get a vintage 36mm Datejust but I've tried some on and they just seem too small. I think the sweet spot for me is 39-40mm.
Seiko Sarb017 is 39.5mm not 38mm
My favorite is the Nomos Orion. Clean and classic look. Outside of that and on a more affordable front, it’s hard to beat the Seiko SARB033.
That Seiko is on POINT ! Wow gorgeous piece
Where did allesandro find that strap for his sheikh please, also what colour is the face I can’t seem to find that. Cheers
Thank you so much. I’m looking for a semi luxury watch like a baume mercier but hard to find in a 38mm or less
I liked yours and Teddy’s choices the best
Yup. Agree completely. Ted baldassare has the best choices. Very Chic classy and toned down . Love his collection. Unfortunately most of them are way too expensive for me. Take care. Cheers.
great video. it was kind of "touchy" to see my favourite watch bloggers in a row :) their enthusiastic manner as guests of your chanell is so fascinating.
by the way, i would like to add the legendary "seiko alpinist" to that list.
Great video!
Alessandro picked my first watch! :D. The best watch I've ever had. it's truly amazing
For a guy with a wrist slightly above 6 inches, the lug to lug measure is more important to me than the case diameter. I can wear a watch as wide as 45mm as long as the lugs doesnt hang over my wrists.
dude, fantastic idea, great video. love how you feature and advertise others
Really happy to have found Nordgreen. Dress watch made in my hometown? Yes please!
nice topic.thank you
I’ve had the same issue for years as I have roughly a 6” wrist. I was gifted an Omega Speedmaster Reduced (ref. 3510.50) for my wedding day and it’s by far my favorite watch to wear. It’s 38.5mm case compared to the 42mm Speedmaster Moonwatch (ref. 3570.50) makes it much more proportionate for folks with smaller wrists and still love the heritage behind the Speedy.
Love the reduced! One of the best small chronos for sure.
I have just measured my wrist and it's on the smaller side at 6.5 inches. Would be opting for the Seiko 5! Gorgeous!
If you are on a budget the best field watch is the Timex Expedition Scout. It is very versatile and durable. It looks timeless and can also take a beating. I have worn mine in manual labor jobs for years and it has held up exceptionally well for being at the price point of around $50.
Great video Brock ( as always) and thank you and thank to all the guys in it, we finally burst out the “” Vincero ”” curse Here we have it great watches, quality, great brands and elegance for a more affordable prices. Thank you again. Nordgreen Philosopher is my favorite
great video!
6:43 which company/strap is that ? The brown suede nato on that seiko
Royal Oak 15450 37mm, it’s so amazing I love it!
My favorite smaller watch is Seiko SARB017 Alpinist. But Seiko SARB017 Alpinist is also my answer to my favorite larger watch, sports watch, smart watch, smart phone, trekking shoes, freestyle skis, luxury sedan, yacht and also my favorite pr0n.
love the rolex datejust with a modern wristband. looks cool! out of my small collection I end up using the Casio 80% of the time.
I have to go with the Seiko SARB033 as it's a strap monster. By the way, I really enjoyed this video, Brock.
A great offering right now is a microbrand: the Signum Cuda. They make a fantastic Diver with the same dimensions as the (in this video) discontinued Seiko SKX013. 38mm diameter and 44mm lug to lug. I bought one and im really happy with it. Great quality build, ceramic bezels, and meteorite dial (they have other cool dials too) for a really great price.
Using a strip of paper is better because most strings stretch a bit.
Like always great Vid. Brock stylish youtubers what you have in this ☝ i definitely love baldassare style but i love yours too i prefer the Hamilton because of what you said.. Heritage keep ☝
What a great way to make a list video
i wish the hamilton had smaller lug to lug length though because 46-47mm is like wearing a 40mm case watch
brock, what would you prefer? citizen eagle 7 with cal 8200 or the seiko 5 snxs79k with 7s26?
Your choice, best choice. I have a hamilton khaki field quartz that is 33mm I belive, its great.
With a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist 42mm is as far as I would go personally.
Cheers
Super video.
Interesting video 👍
Nice pick gentlemen, i'm pulling the trigger on the humble SNXS79 soon, change my mind.
Love the video and greaf recommendations although I still havent found love for wearing a watch. But that said where did you gwt that awesome hoodie from?
Thanks! Hoodie is from Peter Manning NYC. It’s the only hoodie that actually fits me really well.
Nice I love your video...I have Rolex but I think for now I love Casio 😊😊😊😊
I like the way he brought other TH-camrs on the channel.))
Where can I find that nato strap that’s paired with the Seiko?
The Nomos is sharp. I was always sensitive about my wrist size and everything else for that matter. However, I think it is ok to have one watch that is over-sized just for a change. I would not spend a lot on it, but it could be fun.
A great video ! This is about a great watch community. I just hope that my latins TH-camrs in this field could do something like this 👍
My left wrist is seven and three quarter inches; I prefer a classic 38mm! ( I think a "wristclock" is lame! ) When I "dress up" I always put on my understated Zenith with a white dial. If money was no object, I would go with the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia ( perfect size @ 38.5mm, and it looked very nice on my wrist )!
That omega seamaster I wanan buy it for my dad can't seem to find it. Someone leave a link help me out please.
which model seiko diver are you wearing at 1:04 mark?
Seiko 5 is an excellent choice. Even if I had money to buy one, I'd never buy a Rolex. Beautiful, but extremely overpriced
I own five Seiko 5 watches and four of them are less than 38mm
Totally agree Anderson, there are so many better ways to spend that money. Cheers!
I like the minimalist style of the nordgreen but I’ve also read reviews claiming that’s it’s overpriced for the quality (as I’ve read are MVMT and Daniel Wellington brands). Any recommendation on other minimalist watches with
Can anyone give me any info on the the backing track at the beginning of this presentation ? Thanks 😉
Who makes that incredible strap for the seiko 5 that Alessandro Perta is wearing?
6:41 Where can I find that nato strap or something similar?
excellent video
Great vid! Actually I think lug to lug is the most important measurement. A larger watch whose design results in a decent lug to lug still, won't overhang the wrist etc.
This is exactly right ✔️😁🍻
Great video Brock! I'm interested in the Hamilton Khaki. What color and type of straps do you find yourself using a lot? Does that khaki strap work well with your color palette wardrobe?
I find the khaki strap to be very versatile. Also looks great on black or brown.
Do you have any suggestions for short watch bands? Leather, NATO, ect...
I love that Omega *-*
my wrists measured in at exactly 6 inches around the bone so it's pretty small. for budget watches rn I really like the seiko 5 and orient bambino. looking to get a nomos, junghans or weiss watch in the future
Isn't the Orient Bambino really big?
