Timex Navitimer: I bought one second-hand, full-set, for peanuts (I wanted a quartz to regulate my mechanical watches). The finishing was a joke, it came with two 'natos', a nylon and a leather, both of which were over 1mm shy of the lug width. The dial was as flat as 'a witches tit'. p.s. the second hand had a relationship with the markers like a vampire with garlic. Absolute crap. I sold it online at a reasonable profit, but felt guity about it.

Well done, Ben -- a great video. I think you make a point here that just begins to scratch the surface of an issue more manufacturers should consider: generally, men's watches are too, too large. Anything over 40mm is noticeably big on even larger wrists, and watches over 43mm simply look ridiculous. I wish the industry would learn a lesson from its history, and produce more watches in the 38-40mm range.

The Luminox looks like the CASIO MRW200H I’m currently wearing on my wrist … and my CASIO costs $40. Quartz movement, 10bar water resistance and frankly AMAZINGLY accurate - losing around 1-2aec a month. For the price it cannot be beat - best for us in the “small wrist” club.

Great video. In general Seiko Diver Watches usually wear much smaller than the specs would suggest. With my skinny 6 inch wrist, I can pull off an SPR777 Turtle no problem. This actually led me to try on an SLA021 MM300 which also felt fine. I ended up getting the discontinued SBDX017 MM300 which is pretty comfy on my wrist. The last addition to the bunch was an SBDC061 MM200. Also, no problem to wear. I must say though I am not a bracelet guy and all 3 watches are on Phoenix or CWC G10 Nato straps. If you like a watch and think it's too big for you, go and try it on! Especially if it's a Seiko. What they do with their cases is some kind of magic.

I've got a few watches from this list for my scrawny wrists, but my diver which gets the most wrist time by far is the Armida A11. At 36mm it's smaller than I thought I'd ever go but I absolutely love it. It has an ETA movement for under $400, a milsub-esque design, great lume, and my version has the day at 6'oclock and not just the date which is really unique. Would wholeheartedly recommend to just about anybody seeking a compact diver, it scratches an itch I thought I would only get from tracking down a Tudor Submariner 75090 or an Omega Seamaster 2551.

Solid work here Ben, and I actually said to myself close to the end of this video: This must've taken a hell of a time to put togheter. Great work piecing all this stuff together. As an example, that Seizeen sure gives that over priced (IMHO) Timex a match. An NH35 automatic instead of quartz and better bracelet for less money? Now, that's interesting (and yeah, of course I'm aware of the conditions in China when it comes to manufacturing costs compared to the "western world" and bla bla..). These nostaliga releases are often rarely upgraded but instead with way, way more increaseing prices. Its's like a watch from 1980, without any upgrading but you're paying ridiculously prices for this one now. I also appreciate when you give microbrands a notice here, sometimes these are really good value with great quality, even though they cant compete price wise to the all familiar AliExpress brands. Keep up the good work.

This is probably the best list on this subject! Really appreciate you focusing on realistically affordable watches🙌🏽 i’m super curious about islander watches though. Maybe you could review the ISL-63? On paper, it looks like a great dive watch for smaller wrists!

I have a 7 3/8” wrist, but I still prefer smaller watches. As I’ve been exploring the world of divers, I’ve been a bit discouraged as it seems like they’re all huge. This video is brilliant and just what I needed! So many great recs on here. Thanks mate!

Thanks for the comprehensive list. I have a few of the models, and especially fancy the 38mm Islander SKX013 style. Found some unknown to me models, that Ill have to go check out :)

A wildcard suggestion would be a Seiko Monster. Availability for gen 1 and 2 models is a bit limited now, and the gen 3 and 4 watches are on the expensive side, but they do genuinely wear much smaller than you might think from the dimensions (in my opinion anyway!). My wrist is around 15.5-16cm and while the Monster looks big, it doesn't look like it's too big, if that makes sense. I think it's the short curved lugs, and the shallow height making it fit better.

I have a 6.7/8 (180mm) wrist and the best fitting watch I have is the Seiko SKX023J. J = Japanese market and it has a case size of 37mm with 45mm over lugs. I know they no longer make these but it's perfect for my wrist.

Very thoughtful, through and useful. And although my wrist is gigantic, due to being a meat balloon, I found your suggestions well reasoned. The camera gear in the product shots was a nice touch.

The Seiko SRPG is a nice option too, 43mm case diameter, but only 44mm L2L so it wears much smaller. The thick bezel also helps reduce wrist presence. I have the SRPG59 and it looks very handsome. Added a Strapcode Hexad bracelet that matches very well with the finishing and geometry of the case.

Great to see videos like these. I would even consider the Seiko SRPG15 as I think the lug to lug is 45mm. It's kind of a hybrid field/dive watch though.

That seizenn has a dual time bezel, just fine for a 3 hander. If it had a 24 hour bezel, then it would make no sense unless it had a gmt hand. This is often mixed up.

Amazing breakdown, very tempted to get the Vostok, I used to have an early Kickstarter Maen Hudson but sold it and this video makes me miss it. One that I've found amazing is the Steinhart Ocean One, though it's an homage to older Rolex submariner models.

Excellent work on this Ben. So many great watches here. Funny how (to me) that Luminox looks so cheap... probably my least favorite on the list. Top faves are probably the Baltic, RLG, Seiko mini T and that San Martin retro diver. But you really found a lot of gems. Thanks.

Since the movements are relatively small, I matured and now the smaller the watch the more appealing. I wont put a 200g of paperweight on my wrist.
