What’s your smallest watch and what’s your wrist size?

I’m 7” and my smallest watch is a Tudor black bay 36. I originally purchased it for my wife but she never wears it. I personally love how clean the piece is and it wears just fine on my wrist.

35mm vintage Omega Deville on a 6.25 wrist. (Works fine. My DJ 36 is perfect. 40mm sub still works well and 42mm speedy is pushing it, but still plausible...)

My goodness…

We may have been separated at birth

Omega feels a little small.

Datejust 36 perfect, Sub borderline and Speedmaster a little too big but it’s my dads so sentimental value makes me not care.

Hi Brian,

It’s a 1948 Rolex Tudor cushion case (bought it for my birth year) 9ct with a 59 calibre movement, manual wind 17 jewel Swiss lever.
Hallmarked in Birmingham in 1948, dial refinished in gold with black Arabic numerals and original blue steel baton hands.
Glass and crown are new to the original specification and the strap is a generic strap new old stock from 1950.
28 x 39mm without crown and 16mm lugs.

When i measure my wrist is about 7” but i feel like it’s closer to 6 3/4. My smallest watch is a BB58. I don’t have anything currently in 36mm but i could wear 36 nicely.

I think my wrist is somewhere around 7.4"-7.5" depending on the day.
The smallest watch(dedicated dress watch) has a light coloured dial with a thin bezel at under 39mm.

Halfway between 7.25" and 7.5" wrist size.

My Submariner and Speedmaster wear about the same. They're both smaller than my Seamaster.

A shade over 8" wrist size. And I have both a 36mm OP grape dial, as well as a 36mm 116234 datejust blie dial/sticks/fluted bezel on super-jubilee bracelet. As you can imagine, I had to get an extra link for both, but they fit me perfectly, and I think they both look just fine on my wrist

But 36mm is as small as I'll go

I bought my wife a Timex hand-wound a few years ago, and I'll occasionally steal it to wear from time to time. The 34mm case looks a bit diminutive on my average 7" wrist, but the color combination (an emerald green dial surrounded by a gold-plated case) is so sharp that it doesn't matter.

7.5” wrist. Right now the smallest is a 40mm BLNR but I’ve been thinking hard about adding a TT Explorer.

6.25 inch wrist. Most of my watches are 36mm. I don’t care about the science of choosing the right case size. I buy what I like and what feels good on my wrist.

My wrist is 6.5" to 6.75" and my smallest watch is my new 36mm Explorer 124270. It is very very comfortable and my most worn watch of 2021!

Looks perfect! I have the same wrist size (6.75") and I picked up the new 36mm Explorer (although two tone) this year.

By far the watch I've worn the most. Dare I say, the size is perfect.

I have a few 34s in 18mm straps. I also have a few 43s and everything in between. My wrists are 7 1/4 - 7 1/2

Case size is only a small factor in how a watch wears. Face size and lug to lug are just as important
