Watches smaller than 38mm are considered women's watches?
Wtf!!! Lol we'll that's what the host of shop at home "Invicta" watches said! Made me want to punch him in the face as I looked down at my 36 mm dj!
Don't ask why I was watching it! Hahaha well, I recently came back from a boat cruise and they were selling invicta watches and people on the boat were actually paying 600 for these things.. Crazy |

Just a thought - yoo don't gotta believe everything yoo hear!
Hey, I recently went to a watch event at a jewelry store wearing my Deep Sea. Every single representative wanted to sell me an even bigger watch, even when I said 44 mm was my size limit.

Smaller than 34mm to me will not consider for purchase. Which Air king is a good model to set my standard.

I like 38-42mm. Exception for a 36mm DD.

Watches smaller than 38mm are considered women's and children's watches?
Fixed it for you! Seriously, Invicta makes its money by appealing to the adolescent "Look at me! I'm somebody!" mindset of insecure adult males suffering from arrested emotional development and sexual self-doubt (and who can't afford a Panerai). Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

My 36mm DD and ExpI are getting my wrist time these days. My GMT IIC is great but feels kinda bulky. Other's opinions may vary, but the 36mm size +/-2mm works best for me at present.

I prefer 40-42. I have a 45mm PO that I honestly think is too large for me. I sold the bracelet since it had no adj and was annoying. On the Omega rubber strap and deployant it is most comfortable.
You have only 1 person to make happy, yourself. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of your watch. That's my view, anyway. |

i tried on one of those UBoat flighdeck 55's..... man that was HUGE!!!! made my PAM look small afterwards..... but for comfort I really prefer my 36mm DJ. The 42m EXP is my 'go to' watch now...size perfect for me.

Bear in mind the guy's a salesman looking to offload a bunch of shite watches.
He's gotta say what he's gotta say. Professional bullshitters abound in all areas of life. |

For the record - My GF does wear a 37.5mm watch comfortably and she's barely over 5 feet tall.
And I have vintages that I love that are smaller. And I have several other watches that are larger. There's no one perfect size, the same watch can be perfect for one person and too big or too small for another. Wear what you enjoy and is comfortable. |

Invicta's giant watches are ridiculous.
Either than that my 40mm 8926OB Pro Diver is still kicking! I've had thoughts on selling it, who knows though.
