The 38 has better proportions and dial symmetry. The date window on the 42 has the same issue as the IWC Mark XVIII.

7.5 inch wrist here and I have the 42mm. It wears great, nearly went for the 38mm but glad I didn’t. I would say if you’re wrist is smaller than 7 inches go for the 38mm, but at the end of the day it’s all down to personal preference. As long as the lugs don’t overhang your good to go.

8 inch wrist here, and I always go for bigger is better, but I got the 42mm and it just doesn't feel like a field watch. I think go 38, just because the 42 is a nice watch, but too big to feel like a field watch.

Whats up man, I have an 7.8 inch wrist (20 cm) i'm thinking of getting the 42 mm, i have watches at even 44 mm but i've seen a lot of people say its "too big" what would you recommend?

@@gustavomatus_ it’s all down to personal preference, but i can tell you that the 42mm won’t be too big at all on your wrist. I have 7.5 inch fairly flat wrists and I’m glad i didn’t go for the 38mm, I’m happy with my choice. If you can try both on somewhere then you can see which one you think fits you the best but I’m pretty sure it would be the 42mm 👍

The 42 feels like lifting weights with your arm the whole day (with the bracelet). If you are thinking in a every day carrying go with the 38.

On the Khaki mechanical the long lugs help fit thick natos, e.g. leather nato... but inexplicably, the Khaki automatic has long lugs, but with the holes not near the end, so they're wasted metal.

Thank you for the video comparison. I recently purchased the 38 mm size and love it. That said, I was very surprised to think that it might be a tad too small for this style. I do like my watches smaller so I say this because of everything that is on the dial. Not complaining, just a little surprised but I still love the watch. I do not have a large wrist so I can absolutely see myself wearing the 42 mm if I had to. I have 2 casio duro watches which are 44 mm and they look great on the wrist so there is no reason why a 42 mm watch would not also look great. I totally get it about the lugs. If you can rock a casio duro I believe you can rock the 42 mm size of this watch. Because it is so thin for the size that would definitely help. Just my thoughts.

I have 7.5" wrist and have 38mm version. Male friends say it's small for me and women say it is perfect :) I think its almost perfect. I don't like oversized watches. I would perefer 40mm but there is no 40mm option. I also think date window placement on 42 looks weird.

@brentmillertime8778 for a 7" wrist do you feel the 38 is too small? I tried them on at the store and I like size of the face on the 42 but the lugs are soooo close to hanging over my wrist. My diver which is a 42 has 47mm lugs and to me looks correct but feel strange with the smaller face. This would be my first "nice" watch so kind of obsessing over it.

Does the leather strap have an effect on the size-appearance of the watch? The 42mm is large but still looks well placed on your wrist. But that would be personal preference i guess.

Guys, I own this watch, beware: The glass is annoyingly reflective as shown in this video, would require extra effort to tell the time. Additionally, with only two adjustment holes in the clasp (most watches have three), you might not find the proper fit. Overall, I regret buying this watch.
