Is a Small size shirt too small for a modern male?

Perfection 👌🏻

Well It stays on the bracelet a lot, and if not the tropic vulcanised straps are really good.

Great feedback, and I completely share your sentiment regarding dates on watches. They can be quite a hassle, especially when you're not wearing the watch every day. I've also had my fair share of experiences with the Cartier Santos, having tried both sizes at the AD. Interestingly, I found that the larger size suited me better (given that I'm 6'1" with a wrist size of around 7"). Even my wife agreed and felt that the medium size looked a bit off, not just on my wrist but overall.

However, when I turned to the web for advice, everything seemed to point towards the medium size as the recommended choice. But now, after printing and examining them, I no longer have any doubts. The medium size, right in front of me, appears too small. Surprisingly, it's almost 1:1 with the Casio F91W, which is a great size, but I personally don't enjoy wearing it due to its compactness (although I acknowledge the Cartier's elegance and class).

Now, I realize that I fall more into the medium-large size range when considering both height and wrist size. Therefore, I can't align with most of the comments out there. For example, people claim that the PRX Automatic is too large, but for me, that watch wears like a dream.

Cheers!

I completely resonate with your sentiment! In fact, I had a similar experience with the SPB143 watch. At first, I was captivated by the stunning appearance of NATO straps in photos, but once I tried them on my wrist, they just didn't seem to click with me. The look didn't match my personal style, and I couldn't quite fall in love with them.

Therefore, like you, I eventually decided to give up on NATO straps and explore other options that truly spoke to me. I found myself drawn to the classic elegance of leather straps and the versatility of colourful rubber tropic straps. These alternatives provided the perfect combination of comfort and style, enhancing my overall watch-wearing experience. Sometimes, it's all about finding the strap that resonates with our individual preferences and brings out the best in our beloved timepieces.
