9 Great Watches for Small Wrists (Under 40mm) // Seiko, Rolex, Hamilton and MORE
About this video
McGoff teaches men with smaller wrists how to choose properly-sized watches by explaining wrist measurement techniques and case diameter standards. He features recommendations from fellow watch enthusiasts and style creators, then shares his own favorite watch pick—the Hamilton Field Officer Khaki Mechanical—arguing that watches under 40mm, ideally 36-38mm, look most proportionate on smaller wrists.
Key takeaways
- McGoff recommends measuring your wrist at the widest part over the bone; anything under 7 inches is considered small, and under 6.5 inches warrants specifically small watches
- McGoff argues case diameter is the most important measurement for watch sizing, and recommends staying under 40mm for smaller wrists, with 36-38mm being ideal
- McGoff recommends the Hamilton Field Officer Khaki Mechanical (38mm, manual wind) as a versatile everyday casual watch that balances affordability with quality, though he notes he also wears smaller 34mm watches
