This is a good beginner watch with the 7S26 caliber movement. I would personally spend 50-100 more and get a deal on one of Seikos NH36 movements. You can get a Seiko SRPE under $180 bucks.

Mechanical watchmaking in the 50s and 60s had progressed to the point where a men's watch didn't need to be any bigger than 34-36mm. Watchmaking technology, as one might surmise, has NOT regressed in the intervening 70 odd years. So there's absolutely no reason a men's watch has to be larger today that it was back then.
The only reason mens watches are larger today is strictly fashion. In no objective sense is a 37mm watch "undersized" on a larger-than-average men's wrist. People have just been conditioned to think it is.

I don't, but he's a large man compared to most people. Even he doesn't use a large watch size.

It depends on the watch. I think that a 37" diver would look a bit undersized on a large wrist. It would look small on my wrist. In my case my arm length makes the difference. I prefer 42 MM. However a watch is too big when the lugs hang off the side of the wrist. That's really the acid test.
A 37" dress watch however is a different story. If you are wearing it with a suit or long sleeve shirt. 37" would fit under the shirt sleeve better than some of the larger watches.

1. Clearly visible markers / numbers
2. Thickness is required for the high pressure divers. You have to balance the thickness out with width.
3. Complications. If you want a chrono you generally need a larger watch…especially if it has one of those valjoux movements. They are quite thick…same point as #2. It also necessitates a wider case. ETAs and some in house movements tend to make for smaller chronos
I have many watches. Planet Ocean, James Cameron Deep Sea,, Navitimer, several thin/smaller Piagets and GPs from my father, etc. There is absolutely no way that a tool watch like a Planet Ocean or James Cameron could be a 37 MM. the physics don't work that way. They have made Navitimers smaller over the last few years, but they still need room for the "slide rule" complication
