You are doing God's work.

[@autothrust330]

You’re a hero

[@acalthu]

Thank you!

[@mszigetihu]

I don't know why these creators never include the name of the watches in a text format like that, takes 2 minutes to do it, and such a pain in the ass to search for a watch without that.

[@zillsburyy1]

seiko is JUNK!

[@erwinvlsqz]

Maybe Richard Mille? 1. Works with kids age 3-9yrs old 2. Works with Lego Enthusiast 3. A must for ultra rich because, why not? 4. So light on wrist that you can reach your phone easily to check the time

[@CaptainWillard830]

😂

[@MCMXI1]

Your assessment of the Speedmaster is 100% correct. I have no idea how on earth it can look and feel so good on my 6 3/8" wrist and I've given up trying to figure it out. My Seiko (SKX style) 7548 and 6306 from the 80's prove you're right about them too. Good work as always.

[@coolman4202]

The seiko SRPD51 is my one and only watch! I wear it to work, to the opera, to the beach and camping, and even to the gym! It’s so clever and versatile I’m so fortunate to have this as my #1 and could not recommend it more.

[@Ballacha]

i think the majority of 38 to 40mm 3 handers on the market with little to no mirror polished surfaces will look good on virtually all male wrists in almost all scenarios. you can wear them casually, as sports watch or as a dress piece too. ones with too many mirror polished surfaces just don't look right outside of formal-ish occasions.

[@oleksandrmorozov1446]

Not really, I have a hairy 21cm wrist and any 38-39mm watch sadly looks like a kid's toy. Minumum that looks good is 41mm.

[@Ballacha]

@@oleksandrmorozov1446 male wrist watches used to be 34-36mm. people used to think 38 is ridiculous. but then the invictas in the world started to warp some people's preference. my dad wears an IWC IW1827, a 34mm watch from 1970. no one in his life has ever said it looks like toy.

[@Krauser1226]

​@@Ballachathis is why I tend to like vintage and vintage style watches. My dress watch is 36mm and my daily wear field is 37mm. Mind you, I have small 6" wrists, but even still, I still tend to prefer the smaller case sizes for the aesthetic reason alone. But it's all taste. I'm just glad a lot of the manufacturers are starting to go smaller in case sizing again, because I happen to love that 36-38mm range.

[@IsaiahZ48]

What's wrong with mirror finish?

[@Kenqq133]

24:10 24:10

[@davidelliott948]

I appreciate how you cover a wide range of options. It is so important to try on a watch to make sure it looks and feels good on the wrist.

[@darr0en]

perfect timing on the video for me , was reading and looking into the watch & wrist sizes . Thanks for the video

[@aljazpirc9614]

Its nice to see, you also introduce affordable watches. Not only a lot of people that aprecciate only 10k+ watch

[@Keghau5]

There is so much truth to what you mentioned about the speedmaster. I was 100% convinced that this would not fit my wrist properly and was really surprised with how good it looked.

[@donaldgeorge6656]

I have a Tudor 58. 39mm is a an excellent reference size. I feel very comfortable with 42mm as well. All my watches are within these sizes. Excellent as always Teddy

[@michaeldemarco899]

This is a great vid Teddie. I have a 7.6” wrist and I’ve always struggled in my mind with wearing watches below 41mm. That is until I decided to start trying out different styles. I bought a Tissot PRX from you actually and was the first watch under 41mm I ever owned. On the bracelet for me it does wear a little small. But and this is a big but, when you take it off the bracelet and put the OEM strap on it, the thing wears like a dream! It completely transformed it. I just bought a new Tudor BB41 on the jubilee it’s gorgeous. I have numerous 40mm GMTs and others now that all wear nice. I think you have to open up your mind if you have a small wrist or a larger one like mine. Lastly, do a video showing strap choices and how they transform a watch because the strap makes a massive difference!

[@TheBimmer74]

Great video Teddy! I bought the moonwatch and it's absolutely perfect!

[@jeffsmith268]

Great list and discussion Teddy!

[@CaptainSnappy]

I think part of the reason the Speedmaster Professional wears smaller is because the bezel is about 40mm. From the side, the case is broken up a lot so it appears thinner than it is as well. I think my Baby Alpinist actually wears thicker than the Speedmaster Professional!

[@Vivaz79]

Great, added few for my next purchase. Thanks Teddy.

[@patrickhartmann1540]

Agree with Teddy’s take on the 5KX. My only issue with that watch(which I own) is the case thickness. I prefer the wear of my SNE585.

[@saphiregin]

One of the best & most interesting videos that Teddy has made... in my personal opinion.

[@johnredcorn8294]

Great video Teddy. Would love a video on the best bracelets for watches, particularly in the affordable category.

[@dissident_mantis7]

I got sucked into the whole “smaller is better” craze and got smaller watches. I still own many of them, like my 34mm 1953 Oyster perpetual, which often adorns my wrist. But I found myself gravitating back toward full size 42mm divers. 42 works for me and my 7.5 inch wrist, but I feel like a lot of those watches like my SMP 300 get shamed in the watch enthusiast community these days.

[@craigriley9892]

Another great video. You got me wanting that Sinn 104.

[@traceswann7054]

I just picked up a new to me Hamilton American Classic Bouillon, and I have some tiny wrists but it fits me well and makes for a great dress watch

[@givezaid]

Teddy is absolutely right! I own the Seiko SRPD61 and it is my everyday dive style watch. Happy to represent SKX of course

[@tricky92x]

I really wanted to love the JLC Ultra Thin Moon in silver at 39MM and it just looked like a dinner plate on my wrist. I bet the blue wears better at that size, but I wound up trading in that watch after just a few months. I would definitely recommend trying one on before pulling the trigger.

[@prabirmehta1089]

Superb video Teddy!

[@PumaFire]

I think the Breitling Chronomat GMT 40 has to be added as well. Perfect dimensions and looks good for any occasion / clothing.

[@mikehester7819]

For everyday, the IWC Mark XX. I just picked up one yesterday at an AD. Blue dial on bracelet. Just WOW!. It wears so well on my 7.25" wrist.

[@sreekar5612]

Just came looking for good watch video and it's here 🔥❤

[@hugoavendano1930]

I had that Grand Seiko in my hands, when I saw the dial I immediately adore it. Absolutely amazing watch. As usual, excellent video Teddy.

[@vadim3031]

Great video, good finds

[@ladykoala208]

I really enjoyed this video! I have a 6.25 inch so I find 40mm diver with a 46 to a 47mm works best for my wrist. And then I discovered the SRPD which I can actually pull it off. I think the key lies in you being comfortable with the case size and also curved lugs that hug our wrist are super important. Good job Teddy!

[@jannis01]

I like tissot prx and Datejust. The 36mm is just too small for those watches because it looks like a women watch

[@rachelades518]

Hallo Teddy, the Breitling with the pistachio dial is it for me, more than the rest. And for me the watch size I am wearing is more what Mudd I'm in / or what I'm wearing-elegant, fun, sport or casual clothes. Thanks, and as always, love from Switzerland

[@hgr.7857]

Sinn for the winn! Proud Sinn 104 I St Sa (grey) owner here and with 6.75" wrists. Can vouch, with it's angled lugs and highly articulated H-link bracelet, it wears very well. Also, DW5610U is a great wear. SARB017 will be joining my Sinn as a long-lusted after nice-for-me daily piece.

[@ed911turbo-macanturbo]

Great list.

[@bimmerguy89]

Great video

[@J.R.Y.]

Great vid! Take a drink every time he says “out there” and make it even more fun! 😂

[@TheTyrantanic]

Out of my 3 watch collection (beater, diver, dress) 2 are on this list - the G Shock and the 5KX, and my dress is the Zen Garden with the snowflakey dial

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

Great list Fun video Thank you I would consider the Mark XX in high end everyday I would swap the Royal Oak for the overseas

[@MY-Kuwait]

Yes you are correct the Omega speedmaster is exceptionally great. All my watches are 33-40mm i never thought i would wear 42mm. But when i wear it i feel its just Perfect dimensions👍🏻. A lange and sohne is exception also they wear different than it says

[@hamzahlubega1637]

This so true for the Gshock!! I was skeptical at first with my 6.5’ wrist but it looks right at home!!

[@e28forever30]

Square G’s wear great!

[@deanvanlaarhoven1413]

YOU GOT ME! I just ordered an SRPD 51.

[@Binyambekele82]

How amazing background scenes they put behind the watches in these videos

[@LehAqua]

Awesome video and love the watches you picked, very beautiful watches. I'd love your thoughts on Bulova brand? I personally love Bulova, reason I'm asking is because I watch a lot of watch videos and notice Bulova hardly ever gets chosen. you think Bulova is a good brand for someone starting out?

[@CaptainWillard830]

I have a Speedmaster Reduced. Love it

[@logwind]

Great line up.

[@pelilin2519]

I own the Grand Seiko it is my daily watch and damn i appreciate the design a lot it is so beautiful to look at and so comfortable to wear with Spring drive accuracy.

[@petrnovak8143]

It looks just stunning. Enjoy it.

[@jayjr8738]

Hey Teddy, what do you think about the Tudor BB 39/41? Always wondering why it never makes any of these lists

[@DIExperience]

I have the black G Shock DW5600. Great watch. I wear it everyday.

[@sylvainster30]

Very interesting video 👍🏼👍🏼 ✌🏼😎👍🏼

[@nokianx400]

Another great informative video... you didn't include the Seiko "GKX" (SSK005/SSK001). I have a 6 inch wrist and I love it! I prefer wearing it now than my Turtle

[@CaerEsthar]

I agree completely with the BB58 not looking right on larger wrists. I wanted to love the full blue dial 58 so badly, and even bought one, but took it back to the AD a week later because it just looked like a child's watch. It's weird too - the 42mm or 41mm watches I have aren't THAT much larger - but man do they feel like it.

[@thisoldbelair]

I’m an SRPD fan. I wear an SRPD55 (black dial and bezel) virtually every day. I love it. I know its not a “real” diver but it just fits into my life and wardrobe so freakin well.

[@runningawayvagabond5876]

Agreed. I have the same watch and just love the thing! Tremendous watch for the money.

[@rishikothari2434]

I don’t know why when when the category of dress watches started i just imagined jlc ultra thin and Patek calatrava to be there and seeing them being mentioned just made the most sense.

[@basic_le4857]

Owning an Alpinist and having a smaller size wrist, I have no problem with the watch at all in terms of wearability. I personally dislike Seiko's band, but swapping out for an aftermarket jubilee or a nato or a well fitted/softer leather, no complaints at all

[@jpflo698]

Feel like you raided my watch box. I have a SKX, Sinn 104, Pelagos and a Speedy. :) Love them all.

[@NoNo-je3cc]

I recently got one of the recraft seikos, and it looks like I have a cuff with a round, green watch inset in it. My orient kamasu seems tiny in comparison and more correct for my wrist.

[@bigprocrastinator]

Had me at the g-shock. This is a modern classic of newer g-shocks. Especially in all black it's tasteful for a bigger digital sports watch

[@dineshanblazahan9843]

I got small wrist 6.3 and I generally wear 38 mm but I got surprised the 41mm speed master will fit me well … Teddy ur right

[@CalvinGroover]

Not really a fan of Seiko but that green dial on the dark leather strap looks great

[@den_525]

I really liked the Seiko Alpinist from watching this channel... it looks really good but when i went to the shop and tried it out it looked tiny, definitely doesn't fit all!

[@jpdemer5]

The Mido Baroncelli Heritage is an affordable 39 mm dress watch that's quite thin, with very compact (45 mm) lugs. I have a rose gold that looks fantastic on a strap or on a metal mesh bracelet - it looks much more expensive than it is. Actually, almost any watch with a 46-47 mm lug-to-lug will work on the majority of wrists. Just pick a case diameter that appeals to you.

[@DWS444]

Hey teddy im looking for the Seiko dive watch at 8:00 in the video. The one with the nato strap. I want that exact watch but can’t find it

[@roniulitua]

Thank you, can you please what frame (eyeglasses) do you wear, please? and how much it cost?

[@Damian-lv4ip]

I think that Omega Hour Vision should be on this list.

[@MattSeesGray]

I wish you guys would do a side by side comparison of the wrists sizes for all watches. I wanted to see that Seiko 5 on a wrist that isn’t 7.5+ inches. I know it’s supposed to wear smaller than the 42mm case indicates, but I want to see the larger size on a smaller wrist. I feel like 7.63” is way larger than the average wrist, so of course a 42mm looks good on that wrist.

[@OngoGablogian185]

I have tiny wrists (6") and own this Seiko. it fits perfectly. I've worn it as a field watch for the last few years and put it through some pretty harsh conditions. It's fantastic and extremely comfortable. I also have the Seamaster 300 and it's just a little too big for me. It doesn't look comical, but it just doesn't sit right. It feels a lot bigger than the Seiko.

[@fitforfreelance]

This guy loves watches 💯

[@Summervibes12-t5z]

I’m teddy’s biggest fan, but honestly, buy what you like. I turned 50 last week and honestly, almost instantaneously, my perspective changed. None of this matters. Literally no one gives a s**t - apart from you. Does it please you? Awesome . Go for it. End of story. I mean really? Who cares!

[@Watchamacallit]

Teddy continues his fascination with parsing differences of one or two (and sometimes 1/2 !) millimeters between watches. It's an over-thought obsession with a non-existent problem. To keep it in perspective, 2 mm is less than 1/12 inch. Who the hell cares?

[@FilBack]

I find your ultra polarized light filming interesting.

[@zenon351]

Maybe consider the MIDO Baroncelli for the Dress? The 39mm case is just perfect.

[@theenavybluemonster]

People should measure their wrist width and then compare it to the watch’s lug to lug. Wrist circumference doesn’t really help since everyone’s wrist has different roundness or flatness.

[@traviswatts6661]

Dirty sleeve on the GS SBGA413 wrist shot. Surprised that made it passed the editing. Great content as usual nonetheless.

[@therenaissancetinker2972]

The Seamaster 300 also looks KILLER on an omega mesh bracelet. 🔥

[@bumcrackwatchco.]

Loving the chices , although i am biased owning an alipinist and G Cheers

[@oleggontar2942]

That white shirt with the white grand Seiko really highlights the yellow spot on the sleeve

[@selwynuy1]

Casio Oceanus S100 deserves a spot I think on the everyday category. Hoping for future love on the Oceanus line

[@zhicaofang2354]

14:43 I am educated by another Speedmaster Owner on this point, but the official stats of 42mm dial size on the Speedmaster Moonwatch is actually a bit deceiving. This measurement seems to be the measurement of 10 to 4 o'clock INCLUDING the chronograph pusher. If you only measure 10 to 4 o'clock from the rim of tachymeter bezel to the other rim of the tachymeter bezel (which is the common understanding of measurement of "dial size"), it is actually around 40mm (my last measurement is 39.9mm). That is why the watch has a 42mm "stated" dial size but can fit a variety of wrist sizes.

[@robertclarkson6064]

Thx 👍

[@verynormalman]

Excellent content. Thankyou. If you're thinking about a Pelagos 39, really try the Pelagos 42 or FXD. It wears really well. It's very subtle, not being in any way shiny. Stealth personified. By that argument, anything too shiny can dominate your wrist in an unpleasant way. It looks like you're trying quite hard. And that just isn't cool. Rolex, AP, and PP are all guilty of this. Perhaps time has changed for the better?

[@brownmcpherson5724]

I have the gshock in stainless and love it. The Tudor 58 does feel small. Surprising because a 40mm Rolex doesn't feel especially small to me. Having said that, I personally prefer a 41 or 42 for my large wrist.

[@tricky92x]

Is that the "Full Metal" version?

[@e28forever30]

@@tricky92x Probably the GMW-B5000. Brilliant watch.

[@enishrai4151]

Could you please review Seiko's SSEH001-006 line of Cartier tank homage watches? Although it's a women's watch I would like to know if it is suitable for men's with smaller wrist?

[@cosmodoc]

The 38mm automatic Speedmaster is worth considering!

[@francoisdeguise3900]

What about the Chopard Alpine Eagle in steel? Crazy watch...

[@gabrielightning]

I think the Cartier Santos 35mm should also be included. It has heritage and versatility with the quick switch system. Can be worn by men or women.

[@mignav464]

15:00 it works on so many wrists because it has very few flat, and no perpendicular surfaces and domed glass to top it off. It is only measures 42mm but in fact comes across as 38mm and looks a bit "unfinished" in the best possible way. Probably due do tachymetre bezel simple design language.

[@arthurfraner3957]

Spot on with that g shock.

[@ryangochuico]

It's looking like the common denominator is the under 50mm lug to lug. Diameter can sway either way as long as the lugs dont overhang the wrist, it should fit well. Just my opinion

[@katherinelangford981]

I picked up a knock-off moonswatch, because getting real seemed impossible and the chance of getting a fake parading as real online seemed high. So I knowingly bought fake. It's got me wanting to see a real Omega Speed Master and maybe make that my grail watch. I like the sizing, I actually like the velcro strap, and as long as the real thing isn't crazy heavy I could see rocking that daily. I just love the look, and I'd maybe throw on the velcro or a nato, which maybe sacrilegious but I'd be ok with that. Or black leather.

[@beastmodemax6647]

I own the Sinn 104 with arabic dial. Great watch!

[@ysphor]

I own a Sinn 104 and SARB033. Both are incredibly versatile for daily usage.

[@hgr.7857]

Wearing my 104 now. Next on my list is a SARB017, then a Sinn 556i. Between those three and a G-shock DW5610U (ok, and the GW5000U) I could purge the rest and still have a watch for ever occasion for the rest of my life.

[@zeiss72]

The lug to lug length makes a lot of difference. Case in point is Longines Spirit Zulu Time where the ridiculous lug to lug length makes it unwearable for me even though I can pull off other 42mm case watches.

[@colintipton3513]

Im so glad you mentioned the Speedmaster. If you look at the specs, it shouldnt fit well. Put it on your wrist...it sits and fits perfectly.

[@ssssmajeure]

Great article as always. But please give us a wrist check in your description. I want to know what you're wearing as well as what you're showcasing.

[@marchugon555]

For the Omega speedmaster, your renders for wrists 6.5 and 7.63 look the same, their might be an error, have a look please

[@s.beasley8926]

Where’s some love for Cartier? Perhaps the Santos Dumont.

[@achaoticproduction8968]

[@kurth6595]

my G-shock is a DW5600 basically (one of the midnight fog ones, can't remember the ref number exactly) and I have an 8.2 inch wrist. I love how it fits, and the only thing i would change is a longer strap option! Not completely necessary but really the only length that works for me is the very last hole on the strap
