"Oversized" kind of implies you are not average, right? Seems his statement would not apply to you as average.
A good starter watch
it depends on the size of your wrist. 36mm looks like a baby watch on my 8inch wrists and looks huge on 6 inch wrists.

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.

I've been watching the silver face one for a while. I got last week's dark blue face. And yes it is small. It really is a bracelet size..nailed it on the bracelet size. Also add if you return they will deduct shipping cost from your refund.

Not sure why one would think an ex nba player is any kind of authority on watch sizes, but whatever. I happen to agree that 36mm - 40mm is an appropriate men's size. Why? Because a men's watch in the 1950s and 1960s was around 34mm-36mm. Wristwatches have constantly been evolving to ever smaller sizes since some 19th century watchmaker brazed a pair of lugs on a pocket watch so you could strap it to your wrist and not have the inconvenience of fishing a timepiece out of your pocket just to tell the time.

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.

The only way to know is to measure your wrist size. I'm 5'7" 180 lbs (athletic build) but I have 7.35" wrists. I typically stick between 39-42mm.

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

I don't know why you wouldn't think that he knows watches. Some of those guys have quite elaborate collections.

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.

…and fashion isn't the only reason for a larger watch. There are MANY:

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

So, is this a band that squeezes arm hair and won't let go without ripping? I've never had a good watch, but am looking for a non conductive watch to wear(electrician).

I'll also add, Seiko watch modding is an addiction, beware. There is a big community of people modding Seiko watches into heirloom masterpieces. You don't have to spend 5k on a Grand Seiko to get Rolex quality out of the brand.

I just ordered. Can you recommend or point me in the right direction? I'd like to mod plz Smilie

Go for casio with a resin case and resin or rubber strap.

Someone's overcompensating with their watches….
Posts for watches, cameras, knives and other products seem to draw out people with mental problems somewhat worse than the norm here is already. "Great [entry level, beginner, budget] [watch, knife, camera]. But you know, not for me of course - for weak, broke losers who aren't well-financed experts like me." It's next level passive-aggressive self-aggrandizing.

SEIKO - 5 automatic watches were bit hit in early nineties. I remember! People used to be happy and brag about not having to replace battery
