13 Watches 38mm or Less! - Tudor, Rolex, Omega, Seiko, & more

[@Archer335]

I wear a Seiko SARB035 every day. It’s not the most accurate watch, but I’ll probably never sell it. I love it too much! It’s gorgeous, elegant, and casual. I wear it with anything and everything, and it works brilliantly. I’m thinking that I might purchase a Stowa Antea KS for variety and to have a manual, but I’m pretty darned happy with my beautiful little Seiko.

Manik Raina, 👍

i'm so glad you gave a mentioned the Aqua Terra. It is the only watch i own at the moment. It is subtle and versatile.

[@TheCriticalGentleman]

Thank you! It is a great watch. My cousin has one and he loves it.

@@TheCriticalGentleman can you do a video on 13 watches 48mm or bigger?

[@pedrosaenz2800]

36mm datejust is one of my favorites though most vintage luxury watches are under 36mm

[@TheCriticalGentleman]

36mm Datejust is a great classic, I like the vintage sizes best.

[@krokodyl1927]

The Critical Gentleman I have a small wrist & my everyday watch is a 1976 35mm non date Rolex Oyster Perpetual. It is extremely accurate gaining only one second per 24hrs. Love it!

Black Bay 36 and Nomos Orion, Nomos Orion and Black Bay 36, what a magnificent pair for a everyday watch and a dress watch.

[@TheCriticalGentleman]

Agreed! I think my favorite Nomos is the neomatik nachtblau. Elegant but with so much character!

[@oscargustavoarcosruiz8793]

So Blue :D

[@christophermichael5764]

tudor black bay 36 is my all time favorite watch. baselworld just introduced a blue dial color and 32mm sizing for women. i want that watch so bad!

[@TheCriticalGentleman]

Its a great elegant piece. Move over rolex explorer!

[@surfside75]

Many 36-37mm watches in the Seiko5 line but I believe they will all be discontinued as they no longer produce the movement.

[@chienlinchen8877]

Very good list, but I'm surprised that Christopher Ward Trident C60 38mm and Trident C65 Vintage are not on your list, but as a man with smaller wrist, your video is much appreciated.

[@fpoynton1604]

Important review , nice job CG. Love the sarb , very tough and classy with highly visible face. I agree the black bay and omega even moreso. Combination field/ dress timepieces these along with the rolex are​ each a no worry all purpose one piece collection candidate. But who can stop at only one! Thanks again.

[@TheCriticalGentleman]

Thank you! It is hard to choose, there are so many choices for everyday wearable watches.

Rado Captain Cook 36mm

[@bienbrooklyn7569]

Nice..i got that skx13'..keep it up

[@robertkubis2799]

Great content. I really enjoyed the other of your videos such as Omega FOIS vs Moon Watch. The new Rolex lineup and models just't don't do it for me. The vintage lineup is so much better and timeless. However, the Tudor BB36 is a perfect alternative to the Rolex Explorer. That is my next watch, also considering the Tudor BB58 as well, and will have a hard time deciding between the two, but that deep black dial on the BB36 just might do the trick.

[@jeanchiu382]

I will add following affordable watchs: 1. Glycine Combat 6 Classic 36 36 mm 2. Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Handwinding 38 mm 3. Seiko SARB035 38 mm

Wearing a 36mm ALBA(Seiko) solar watch while watching this video.

[@nickichristensen7828]

Great video as always. I am however pretty sure that The Oris Sixty Five you are referring to only comes in 40mm.

[@TheCriticalGentleman]

You're right. An oversight on my part. I'll have to correct this in my next video

[@YounanPhoto]

The Critical Gentleman we will let you have that one. Btw could that be the diver you're looking for? Let us know if you ended up getting one.

[@SunsetSheen]

If only that Intramatic had a second hand

[@robertkubis2799]

I have the Intramatic and trust me, after a while you won't miss it. The watch is just superb for the summer or a special occasion. Never had a dress watch but this one just punches above its price and level.

[@JDYTC]

WTF? *Under* 38mm *≠* 38mm (!?) And the Oris is not even close to being “under” 38mm. Your info on Nomos is also incorrect.

[@spotsill]

38mm is sadly about my maximum size.

[@BeedeoJunkie]

Same

[@eviola11]

The Oris isn't 38mm

[@32chris11]

Am I the only one that has issues with these videos freezing every single time? I never have problems with other KZbin accounts.
