It fits a smaller wrists really well. Usually comes on leather or NATO, but I like it on this Barton Elite silicon strap. Really nice watch!

I would be more interested in high end quartz if they weren't all so big and chunky. In fact if they were smaller than mechanical watches, I would prefer them.
