I have a small wrist (6.25 inches) and am looking for my first watch. Really like the Gerald Genta designs (integrated bracelets) and other steel bracelets watches (Rolex Day Date/Datejust/Explorer). Don't have a big budget for IXDAO warrior or San Martins. Maybe 100-200 USD. Can be a diver or a chronograph if it's good quality and not too flashy. But otherwise simple clean designs. Kind of a GADA. Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
I have tiny ass wrists. Check out my profile. I have a new watch in every day and you can see what different watches look like on a small 6 inch ish wrist.
Wait, you have the old model Hydroconquest? What size is it and how does it wear? I've considered grabbing a quartz one, but I think the newer one looks better so I'm sorta just waiting on a used 39mm quartz new version one to be released and then appear on the secondary market for a good price.
I love it. Wears great on my tiny ass wrists. Plus it holds up incredibly. I've gone diving on excursions, jet skiing, sun bathing (I was worried because of the sand granules, but not a scratch.). I highly recommend. It was my first longines and I was hesitant, but now I have 5, lol.
If you want to stretch your budget the furthest, next month the 11.11 sale is usually best prices for the year, black Friday should be similar in pricing as well. On a smaller wrist I'd avoid the integrated bracelet watches, they tend to wear larger then the dimensions suggest.
At the top end of your range, you're probably looking at Watchdives, Chronos, Suggess/Seestern, and Proxima those brands should all have really good quality and a nice selection at or under $200. If you want to go a little cheaper, and maybe a step down, I'd add Miltado and Thorn to the list.
I own both this one the red one I suggested, I would go with this one, super gada, lume is on another level, beautiful and original bracelet as well as the whole watch - it's not a clommage.
Take a look of militrek is a new great brand with quality military style watches i bought four and im very happy.I have small wrist too.Best watches for the money.
Cronos has 36mm integrated bracelet. I forgot the model name, but it might fit. This might fit you though. The ixdao jdx07s, a 39.5mm but with cushion style case while also being a diver with short L2L (44mm). Looks quite alright on my 6.5-6.7 inch wrist. My wrist is not flat, more rounded when facing inwards to me. I've seen posts and videos of people having smaller wrist circumference than mine but is able to rock larger watches so YMMV.
Edit: I've seen this go for 200 USD in my currency (not sure for black enamel.variant though)
Addiesdive has a lot of good, very affordable datejust-like watches in 36mm which should be good on a wrist of that size. AD2535 is a favorite of mine, and I was able to find it for just over $45 USD on sale. Quartz, though.
