Have you GUYS ever bought a "ladies" watch? I just did.

Yes - had a Victorinox for a while and really liked to. While it was marketed as a ladies watch the only distinction was its size and I think it was a 38mm, which suited me fine.

I only moved it on as part of my effort to reduce the number of battery quartz watches I own.

Clicked for the Tom.

Stayed for the ‘stache.

Was not disappointed.

Nice PRX. I like this colorway. 👌🏼

I have bought several, as presents to my wife and mother 😄

Jokes aside, I think we need to distinguish between ladies watches and unisex (or midsize) watches that are marketed towards women. A ladies watch is something like a 28mm Datejust with diamond bezel. 35mm PRX is a unisex watch; rose gold markers and hands does not make it a ladies watch, even a Hello Kitty dial won't do that.

I don't see myself wearing a ladies watch, but I own and wear a few unisex watches. Below is a picture of my GMA-S2100-1AER. It has rose gold markers and Casio's marketing material for GMA-S2100 predominantly displays women.

I agree that we have to distinguish between unisex and "ladies" watch. The stylistic differences are clear-cut most of the time. Jomashop advertised this Rose Gold PRX as "ladies" and I figured it'd be a good conversation starter.

I guess Jomashop's classification is rather arbitrary, according to them some 35mm PRXs are men's, some are women's and some are unisex...

On Tissot's own website, 35mm PRXs (all colors and movement types) are listed under both women and men collections. Same goes for 36&40mm Seastar and Sideral.

Smaller watches are actually more masculine as they make the wrist look bigger. A big watch has the opposite effect making the wrist look small and dainty. So it depends if you want to look like Arnold wear a small watch. If you want to look like a little girl wear a big one.....

Better you wearing that my friend than a lady,and who's telling these women 40mm watches look good on there wrists 🤣😂🤣😂🤣sort it out unisex stops at 34mm 🙄😂

I have the 35mm prx in the gold pvd and it has been a game changer. Don't think i can go above 38 anymore

me too my friend!

Would I buy a ladies watch Yes!

Bought this for my wife…34.3mm

Would I wear it yes!

But my wife said No! It’s hers!!

😞

To my knowledge not exactly a ladies watch, but I purchased a super cool, 1970's Wolbrook handwind Worldtimer in all white.

Think it's 33-34 mm. Absolutely cool and oddly very rugged for such a tiny hand cranker.

Wore it occasionally, until my wife appropriated it 😂. Less to do with size (another of her regular watches is an Seiko SRPD), more to do with she likes all white watches, like her Tissot Seastar, Citizen Eco drive, etc.

Every time I ask where it is, conveniently she is "planning" to wear it...

👀🤏🏻😆

TL;DR

Looks good my dude.

Personally I think most people can wear 32mm - 50-ish mm, depending on use case, scenario, and aesthetic.

I am looking for a very specific moonphase style watch (which I've dubbed porthole style here since I can't find anything specific in it). So far what I've found has been either to large or too expensive.

But as I expanded my ongoing list, I found the Ball Trainmaster Moon Phase Ladies which might just work. I need to see the mother of pearl dial in person, but otherwise this might be a good compromise between size and price for what I'm looking for.

Yep and yep

Yup.

Sitting here wearing my WRUW 35mm green dial prx and couldn't be loving it more!

Totally my thoughts. I recently bought this handwound Timex Marlin and it is pretty small, comparatively. But I think it looks classy AF. The Jomashop Advertising never phased me, but it brought up some good conversation. Can't wait to wear my ladies watch lol.

I'm pretty sure the G-Shock that I have was marketed on Amazon as a ladies' watch 🤣

I will never forget the time I was just browsing in a well known Rolex ad here in Toronto, the manager of the section knows me from one of her very first work assignments in the watch industry steers me away from a large selection of 36mm Datejust watches, because “they are mostly sold to women these days”! Sometime after I am convinced to check out the store with a lady friend who wants to shop for a watch not necessarily a Rolex. She lingers over the 36mm Datejust watches same lady arrives says mostly guys buy the hip 36mm size, unfortunately most of the watches have been pre sold already not available to guys or gals.

They say fashion is cyclical. It's coming around the bend. My sweet spot is 36mm, and I hear the 35mm PRX wears like a 36. Can't wait!

No

My first 2T Rolex Datejust was 36mm but did wear bigger than other 36mm watches, a bit more chunky, substantial, fitted everybody who bought a Datejust. Fashions go in circles true enough, ran into an acquaintance who retails high end menswear noticed he was wearing a sports jacket with padded shoulders again, don’t care about trends not wearing jackets that look like football pads underneath.

You're gosh darn right. Tom Selleck/Magnum PI/GATOR would happily wear a 35mm PRX im sure.

I guess you could say I have. Bear in mind that men have worn watches sometimes as small as 27mm in diameter many years ago. I have a 31,5mm Oris (the actual diameter is closer to 30mm) and I don't feel comfortable wearing a watch larger than 35mm. A small watch does not necessarily mean the watch is for women. At the end of the day, I buy what tickles me, and a 30mm Cyma is next. A 30mm modern watch is a different story.

35mm is definitely a unisex size. 35mm was the size of the watches the big, burly, brolic masculine men wore when exploring the Antarctic, so don't let anyone con you into thinking that sub-36mm watches are only for the ladies among us. It's more a taste and style thing to be honest. Congratulations on the PRX, it looks great on you.

I think that what makes a ladies watch a watch for women is more the size. Most women’s watches I see are simply smaller than the masculine variants offered, and less the style and color. But hey, where whatever you like, a watch is just a watch, it tells time 👍🏻

Rolex watches aren't for any specific gender. They aren't for anyone. They don't exist but as an idea on a waiting list.

The truth is much sadder my friend at least here in Toronto a lot of Rolex watches are sold as favours, to firm up business connections or just to individuals that sellers prefer. Doesn’t bother me since I cannot afford to buy all the watches that are available to me as is. There are so many ridiculous stories connected with Rolex ads, I know a gent who buys 40-50 watches a few times each year from some multi brand ad including the boutique that I buy from. Honestly that guy walks into any Rolex shop in Canada informs the manager or some other person of authority that he hopes to buy a few timepieces. Do you believe they tell him to place his name on a list? Of course he tells them that he intends to buy a boatload. The guy is not a flipper, became a collector because he was bored counting his money, pretty well known to a lot of shop owners.

There's no ladies watch for my small wrist, as long as it suits me

I have a 7.5” wrist and the 35mm prx is the one id get. I’d also get the 34.5mm vacheron overseas (another “ladies” watch) if I had the scratch

I’ve definitely considered watches which were listed under “ladies.” Although I will say that most ladies watches are accompanied by style cues which do clearly make them for ladies (diamonds, band size, etc).

I’m considering a 36mm Explorer, so definitely not afraid of smaller watches.

I bought a ladies Gshock because I wanted a bit slimmer profile and that's the only way to get certain colors (pastels).

I've considered ladies versions of some rectangle watches too (like the Raymond Weil Toccata). Every brand but Cartier seems to make huge rectangle models for men for some reason. In general heavily masculine watches just don't suit me well I've found, so there's always room for overlap. Only I won't wear are the ladies models plastered with jewels (real men only have jewels on their movements!) or with really tiny straps
