Looking for the best budget everyday watch for small wrists.
I have 16.5 cm wrist size. And would glad to be helped to find my one watch collection !
I have a budget of 110 $.
I like casio edifice alot but can't seem to find small versions.
If you know some other great timepieces, kindly suggest them here 👍🏻😊.

Finding a nice watch for that price in your size shouldn’t be too hard. I’d look at Seiko and Citizen as a first step.

I'm looking for a more sporty look and seiko doesn't accomplish that very well. 🤔
And citizen has some cool watches but 40-44 mm is what's stopping me.
Edifice, so is steel or other metallic case a preference? And under 40mm? Also, any other goals? I like the Edifice look too, but won't pull the trigger for a few reasons.

Seiko have a huge collection and I know some of their Seiko 5’s are quite sporty and are about 38mm. Otherwise there’s Orient, or Timex.
I would look at the old seiko 5's, I'm partial to the snkl41 with the white dial but they also offer blue sunburst or matte black. You don't get much water resistance though, so if that's something that you're looking for you might want to look at quartz options.
The Edifice EFV-110D is the watch for you my friend. Its 35mm in diameter and its the perfect daily with a date and 100m wr. I have the 100D in 40mm but i think the smaller one is gonna be perfect for you.

-True !
-and no, I have no other goals at all as I want the watch to suit most cases.

I like that one a lot! Having a bit trouble finding it at my place 🙁. (I'm looking for the white one)

Thanks I will take a glance on these. 👍🏻

Like The idea !
People hate on Invicta (there are lots of good reasons for doing so, mostly related to outrageous and unrealistic MSRP, as well as some horrendous designs), however their 8926OB Submariner homage is something you might want to look into if you want to get into a mechanical watch at that price point. It uses a mechanical NH35A movement from Seiko, and at 40mm should wear fine on a 16.5 cm wrist. When I started getting interested in watches, I bought one from Amazon to use as a practice watch for regulating a movement. I paid $115 CDN back in 2019, and feel that it was a great deal at that price.
