I bought a 34 mm blue AirKing for my wife for her birthday on April 24th. It's a little bigger than I would have probably picked for her, but the watch is beautiful and the deal was unbeatable.....It's been there for a couple of years and they are selling it for 30% off of the MSRP of $5,050. Any thoughts on the 34 mm size for women? I would love to wear it myself, but it looked just a hair too small for me. If it was 36 mm I'd be wearing it.

Perfect for her hope she loves it

jthop · 14 April 2015, 06:02 AM

It's all a personal preference. Many women now are wearing 36mm and 40mm watches. Some women still prefer the traditional women sized watches. It's really up to her.

I think it will fit her fine!
I love the classic size of the 34mm, its a unisex size and fits most wrists. My wrist measures a little over 6'7 at its smallest. Heres a shot of my 34mm OP Date, very comfortable to wear! It all comes to preference and style.

That looks great, and suits your wrist perfectly

I think 34mm is fine for a woman, it should look great!

I think the 34mm fits just fine for women, even on a skinny wrist. I once did not care for 36mm+ watches on women, but as you can see that's changed

36mm on my left & 31mm on the right ;) My husband loves the 36 on me and is now saying that my 31 looks small to him

36mm is a fun more casual look to me. I think the 34mm would be even better!
Your wife will probably love the 34mm! It will make a great everyday watch. Not too big and not too small ;)

chloebear · 14 April 2015, 07:13 AM

Thanks for all of the great feedback! Your picture is very helpful lunchnl. The 31 and 36 both look great. I am feeling much better about the 34 mil size now.

watchwatcher · 14 April 2015, 07:15 AM

Should be just about perfect. Post some pics when she gets it.

omitohud · 14 April 2015, 07:18 AM

I've seen many of my female friends wearing larger sport rolex n they look gorgeous. 34 mm is not out of line. In fact many men also wear 34. U could also wear it from time to time. Why not?

This is the exact watch.....I kind of dig that it's a chronometer. I didn't realize any of the AirKings were.

chloebear · 14 April 2015, 07:29 AM

Great point Sam! I think it's a perfect unisex size. I'll post some pics once her birthday gets here. The waiting is horrible.

tkerrmd · 14 April 2015, 09:25 AM

Great women size would actually stay away from smaller sizes

My wife prefers bigger things......

watchnutty · 14 April 2015, 09:30 AM

nice pick at a great price too, she should be happy.

versatile1 · 14 April 2015, 09:35 AM

My wife wore a 34 mm Date for a couple of years and now she's wearing a 36mm Datejust

srvrf · 14 April 2015, 10:51 AM

I looked at some Cartier tank watches for my wife and ended up getting a great deal on a medium one and was afraid it would look too big. My fears were unfounded and it looks great one her. I think it is a matter of what you are used to but can change over time

Has she tried it on or seen it? I'd make sure of that before buying a watch that she may not like the look of, and will feel obliged to wear.

chloebear · 14 April 2015, 11:31 AM

Great point as always Adam. The AD hasn't filled out any of the warranty information yet. I told him that it was a surprise. He said if she doesn't like it to just bring it back and they would credit me fully....as long as the stickers were in place. They've been very accommodating. I really hope she likes it!

So no worries then

34mm is a great size for a woman, my wife wears 33 or 34 all the time.

RichM · 14 April 2015, 11:56 AM

My wife wears a 34mm and it fits fine and looks great.

Let her have the final say so.

subking86 · 14 April 2015, 12:21 PM

I bought an AirKing for myself but my wife started wearing it a few months after. It rarely leaves her wrist. I can't blame her. It looks great on her! She still wears her 26mm OP for more formal occasions though.

Jack Bauer · 14 April 2015, 12:37 PM

I would categorically reject 34mm as being considered 'unisex' for an average adult male but if your wrists are that small then go for it.

redsubby · 14 April 2015, 01:41 PM

Air King is awesome for women

Xyzander · 14 April 2015, 02:18 PM

The lady In the Maui AD was sporting a polar Exp II and it looked great on her. I think 34mm would be fine.

My wife can rock a 36 mm!

chloebear · 15 April 2015, 12:28 AM

Sounds like 34 mm is no problem at all for women....I guess it makes sense that women's watches have followed men's watches in growing in size over the years. I feel much better about my purchase now. Thanks for all the feedback folks. I'll post pics when I give it to her on April 24th.
