That thing is sweet!

Thank You! 😁 As it’s a recurring theme here with some folks concerned about “is this watch too small?” Etc. I’m finding it interesting that this watch is pretty small by today’s standards but I think it’s “neat” and tidy at that size, even on my bigger wrist; I’m enjoying the smaller dimensions (than the Recraft SNKP27 for e.g. which seems clearly based on this model imho) amongst many other things 🥰🍻

I think the fact that it's square helps it "wear bigger", if that makes sense? It looks good to me, keep rocking it! The dial is awesome. 👌

I find myself being more open to smaller watches, lately. When I had my SNK807 (37mm), I always felt like I was wearing a kids' watch. A traditional NATO helped add some bulk, but it still looked small to me. Lately, I've been wearing smaller quartz watches (<36mm), and they look and feel perfect. Maybe it's the bracelet on them that helps fool the eye? I'll have to try one on a strap, and see if I feel the same way about it.

I'm thinking small is the new big (whatever that means).. I've been eyeing up smaller cases lately 🤏

Thank You! 😁The dial is fascinating; changes quite dramatically based on lighting/angle etc. I think you’re correct about the square case changing perception of the size. I really love it! I went through a similar thing with the SNK but now I’ve come to appreciate how it wears as a smaller watch👍I tried some natos on this morning but ultimately went back to the mesh because none of my existing straps are really the right colour for this dial. Black or blue would work I think. The mesh seems to go with the indices and hands. 🍻

That does actually make sense 🤪😁I even thought that G-Shock squares were a bit small at one point but my perspective is changing about these things. Small can indeed be beautiful, even on a bigger wrist it would seem. 🍻

Looks great on the mesh, and I'm not even really a mesh kinda guy (yet 😁). What is the lug size? Strapcode sells a bracelet called the Asteroid that comes in 19mm and 20mm, with straight end links, which might look great on this watch, also.

Cheers! The lug width is 22mm so plenty of options available, I’m sure. This mesh is super-versatile, it’s a Geckota “Merriott” with quick-release and a decent deployant clasp. Despite the straight ends it seems to really integrate imho. That “Asteroid” looks rather tasty 😋

Appreciate your input, mate 🍻

Oh yeah, 22mm gives you endless options! Cheers!
