Is Jody’s new Erebus Ascent too small for a 18.5 cm wrist?
I’m hesitating to pull the trigger on Jody’s new release. I very much like what they have done with the case shape, the dials and the movement and I think it’s a huge leap forward compared to the Origin. But it’s just 38.6 mm in diameter (as measured by Peter Kotsa) and its beveled case makes it look even smaller.

I always had a thing for watches, starting with a Casio when I was 9 or 10 years old. Then decades followed with me buying the odd fashion piece here and there but nothing “serious”. During the pandem...

It's the perfect size for a GADA watch for my 8.5" wrist IMO. 36 to 38 are becoming far more popular in the "classic " designs and vintage inspired watches that are fashionable ATM.
I have a 20cm wrist and think 38 is perfect for a gada style watch.
I agree with the people above. I'd wear a watch that size and style and my wrist is about the same size as yours. Go for it.
It depends what you are used to wearing. I have a 19cm (7.5") wrist and always wear >40mm. When I try anything smaller, it looks and feels ridiculous on me. So I guess it's whatever you get used to for me.
That said, wear what you like if it makes you happy 😊
I have 18cm and wear 38.5mm Alpinist every day and it's perfect size.
So most of you agree that it should be wearable. Thank you all! Now I have to do another poll on the dial variant. This is even more difficult!
I prefer for my 19cm wrist in dress watch and the field watch at least 40mm, for diver at least 42mm. İ am fall in love with alpinist but sadly we belong different worlds.
Your wrist size doesn't matter as much as your preferences do. I have a casio of similar style and proportions and it's perfectly fine. It's a smaller watch but that's what I want from it
We have a better watch coming to launch in May :) if 38.6mm is too small, We got you covered with 39mm ;) Anyway, 38.6 will for your wrist just fine! #yolo
