Small Watches Are Just BETTER (Here Are 6 Reasons Why)

About this video

McGoff argues that smaller watches are superior to oversized options for most men, presenting six reasons why he prefers watch cases between 34-38mm. He contends that smaller watches are more proportional to most wrists, less expensive, more timeless, and universally flattering, while larger watches are often marketed as masculine despite being impractical and trendy.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that watch size should be proportional to wrist size, just like clothing fit, and that larger watches only look good on larger wrists while smaller watches work on any wrist
• McGoff contends that fashion brands artificially oversized watches as a marketing tactic to convey masculinity, whereas vintage watches from the 1950s-70s typically ranged from 32-37mm and contained complex mechanical movements
• McGoff recommends smaller watches for their longevity and timeless appeal, arguing that a 36-38mm watch will age better than oversized fashion watches and remain stylish decades later
• McGoff notes that smaller watches cost less to produce and maintain their value as well as larger models, making them a more economical choice in luxury watch markets
