You know there is a short list of those making the larger sizes anymore...and there is a market for larger watches...like me! I am an ex-football player ( American Football ) and I was 6'6" and 340 lbs as an Offensive Lineman... and still today as a 64 year old, my wrist is still 23 cm...9". Larger watches are no longer a fad, as I got my first 47 mm watch back in 2001...that's 21 years ago. Fads are short term. The 36-41 mm watches never went away.

@@larryd4352 A big watch is not limited to 47mm and beyond. For most regular sized males (not football or basketball players) a watch is big over the 41mm to 42mm mark and there are A LOT of companies that still make watches of that size. (mostly chronographs, divers and pilot watches).

Had the same feeling in years! Even brought a 35mm Santos.. But people should focus more on how the watch wears. Does it matter if its 39 or 41? Just brought a Marinemaster SBDX001. Wears nothing like a Panerai Luminor. Both 44

There are many factors in wearability and lug-to-lug is certainly important. I figured case size would be a better way to test this idea of building a list around size to begin. So far, people seem to like it which is nice to see.

I just started this video. 39-40mm is a real sweet spot in terms of design and visual balance. I can wear a 42-44mm case no problem, my favorite watch by far however has a 40mm case width. Even simply sitting side by side with the others, it simply looks right. Tudor this very day re-released the Ranger in 39mm, Hanhart just released the 417ES UN 39mm. People are refining their understanding of design, there’s a more nuanced approach to it.

A great review Teddy looking at watches based on size for those who have a certain diameter wrist that rules out some models from brands. I have to love the Omega Globemaster blue dial, I have this on the leather strap and for me is definitely a keeper, that pie pan dial is a work of art. The inclusion of the BB58 is a no brainer as a stunning diver along with the BB Pro. For those who rule out the BB Pro out due to the thickness dimension but like the design (I did initially) I recommend that you try it on the wrist if you can as it hides its thickness very well indeed as I ended up leaving the AD with it on my wrist. Thanks for sharing Teddy.

Great content! But, it's not just 'the smaller wristed." I'm bigger guy, but just like the classic proportion on wrist of a smaller watch. Looks better IMO. But traditionally, 39mm is still a big watch (the 39 Explorer wears BIG)! I'd say it's the max for a 3-hand watch. 39 is only smaller for chronos and divers. Good luck getting the Jumbo, but that Globemaster is a peach!

One thing you forgot to mention, the GO SeaQ 39mm is both ISO 6425 and DIN 8306 (redundant) certified, and GO chose to include those certs on the caseback - making it the only watch on the list that can call itself a "Dive Watch" and not a "Dive Style Watch." While the 39mm SeaQ doesn't take advantage of showing the beautiful movement, it's very apparent that the intention of the SeaQ was to make a tool - GO submitting and including both 3rd parties is something most companies don't take the time to do, even if they exceed the standards.

For me it really depends on the material of the watch. For example, I have an all gold Rolex day date 36mm which looks great even though I have a relatively big wrist. I was going to purchase a gold 40mm sub but that look wayyy too flashy, instead I got the rose gold jumbo santos. So the size for me really has to do with the model and the material of the watch. Not all gold watches look classy on a bigger case size.
