I need some honest opinions.

I love this watch which I recently got knowing it's size which is way beyond my comfort zone but I couldn't help it. 36mm on my 7.5 inch wrist which is subjectively looks narrow. I tried to take far enough photo for perspective. And I stayed away from crutch and pocket shots 🤣

If it means anything, I think it looks great. Cool watch Mohamed.

Nah, man.  It looks awesome on your wrist.  And that lume is killer.

On my 6.75 inch wrist, I got a 45.3mm diameter watch, man!  It's all good!

Then again, I'm also someone who is on the spectrum, and as such I don't really understand the whole social norms thing!  I mean, once upon a time, when I was young and single, I dated this gal in NYC who was 5'11".  And I'm 5'4".  Let that one sink in, man.  When we went out on the town and she was in heels...  it was awesome!

I have the same 6.75 sized wrist as HWC69 (I am much taller: I would back him down into the paint and use my low post moves). I regularly wear 30-34mm and never think about. I only notice above 40mm that maybe I need to mind the size.

The trend is towards small. It looks like a proper watch in a proper size.

I accidentally clicked on one of the photos to get a better look, but that registered my vote as "too small". I don't think it's too small at all. Can't see any way to change my vote.

I did the same thing on my own poll. My click went for too small 😂

Thank you for the wise words. And more thanks for that image with the heels and everything 💃

Anything less than 34mm looks like you didn't have enough money for a proper watch.

·

It looks fantastic! You and I have about the same size wrist and I prefer a watch closer to 36mm myself. 

·

I pressed the wrong button! I was tilting my phone 90 degrees and my finger slipped. For what it’s worth, the watch looks great rotated from a 2nd party perspective.

7.25 here. Ever since I tried a 36mm field watch for a while, I got stuck with the size. For this type of watch this is the size I always wear. You will find people that will say it looks too small on you but most of the time they will be only projecting their own insecurities as they wouldn't wear something of that size among the trend of the bigger the better. The fact is that we get used to certain sizes and we need some time to get used to other sizes and proportions. At the end you might need some time to let the size sink in and appreciate the way smaller watches en up looking. In my opinion more elegant, less in your face and very comfortable. To each their own.

You know I feel that way about case materials. Anything that was popular before the Iron Age, like bronze, just feels like a short cut.

This week I had the chance to handle one of these:

I have to say that it was beautiful, except for all of the patina.

·

Nice watch!! I'm kinda in that gray area myself. Do I go below a 39?? I have a 37mm digital but...it's digital. It does look good on ya bro👌

·

Doesn't look too small at all.

·

I voted without knowing it.

it’s not to small!

·

I also have 7.5” wrists and get very self conscious at 36mm, but I’m also a bigger guy and so i think that size looks even smaller on me. (I appreciate the wide shot to avoid the skewing.)

I don’t think it looks too big on your wrist! Interestingly the field watch style and active face design actually compensate for the case size -- it works. 

Wear it in good health!

To add to @TalkingDugong and @mjosamannen comments:

And thanks for leaving the crotch and pocket shots out of this.

It’s only too small if you can’t read the time anymore.

·

Too small but it does look fine on your wrist.  It all boils down to preference and personal taste and of course wrist size.  I have a large wrist so my preferred size is 42-45mm.  That being said I can still rock a 38mm on occassion, it really is a personal choice in the end.

·

I hit "C"... but also it is not too small. It is just what you are used to. If you like it... just get used to it. If you can't get used to it and therefore don't like how it looks or feels, then get rid of it. Ultimately it is about how you feel in it. You have to be comfortable in your own skin.

·

I would recommend to get an extra long Nato strap that you can fold back. This will increase the optical presenc of the watch on your wrist.

the Watch looks good on your wrist. Always keep in mind that the originals were that small to not get into the way or hung up on gear and stuff when performing missions out god knows where

·

Considering that military field watches like the A-11 and W-10 were quite small (32mm and 36mm respectively), yours wears just fine historically.

Edit: Just realized my vote went to Too Small, when I really meant Not Small. I thought tapping the thumbnail would enlarge the picture!

·

my wrist is bigger and I like my 33mm watches the best for comfort. size = weight

·

it looks very much fine to me, but if you feel its small, I don't know if the opinions of others will influence that. If you think its small then it is

·

It looks great bud. My grandad (a tough as nails farm laborer and WWII veteran) had significantly larger wrists than me (mine are 7.5 so I'd guess his were 8+ inches), and he wore a 34mm Constellation like a boss. Oversized watches are very much a modern thing and I think the current trend for smaller watches is great.

I don't think it's small perse. It's definitely smaller than what I'm used to wearing, hence the uncertainty. The smallest I have is 38.

·

It’s cool man. Looks good. 

·

7.5" wrist here. I have Timex in 34 and 36, no problem. The very popular Seiko SNK80x series was a massive 37. Odd how it was fine but 36 is a mouse. If you like it, it's good. 

P. S. I also own a 60mm Invicta so my judgement may be off. LOL 😂

·

no not too small

i have the same wrist and i have a couple 34-6 watches and they wear and look fine

that said i prefer a bit larger

·

That is a classic size so it looks, classy.
