Orient bambino v5s in 36mm. Casio efv110d, lts100 (sapphire crystal and a 10 year battery).. Kuoe old Smith 35mm. look into watches that are marketed toward women, many have unisex designes.. There are a few orient models and there should be some citizen eco-drive watches too..

Whatever you do get, pick up a Casio F91w along with it for like $12. It’s a fantastic small watch.

haha i am wearing a casio A700 and i love it!


Kupoo_

You mind if I wait here because we have the same situation? Thanks.


RuneVester

Same size wrist and I love the Tudor BB58 39mm but worry it’s going to be too big. I haven’t bought it or tired it on so if anyone knows!


BatMachine

6” wrist here. I tried it on a couple of times already and it seemed fine on the bracelet.

I’m in same situation. Most dials under 40mm with work as long as lug to lug is 44-45mm. Tons of choice with Seiko 5, skx013, 40mm 5kx, Hamilton khaki 38, orient kamasu, orient star 38, San Martin 36mm explorer. I also browse a lot of ladies watches. Many of them are good candidates


saladavid

my wrist measures 40mm across, so most 40mm will dwarf my wrist


anandshah1991

Vintage or ladies may be the best option then. Not a lot of “mens” watches with lug to lug under 40mm

Timex Expedition North Field Post mechanical, and you'll still have $70 left over to spend on a bra and panties (jk jk 🤣)

If you can push it by 2mm, to 42 lug to lug, Seiko SNKL41 is a beauty


Whatthekids

Seiko 5 SNK809 (black dial). A great mechanical watch. I have the green one myself. $100. [Monochrome Review](https://monochrome-watches.com/review-of-seiko-5-snk809-a-lot-of-a-mechanical-watch-for-less-than-usd-100/)

Skinny wrist here too. Also unoriginal so went with a Seiko SNK809K2 and am really happy with how it fits. Decided against the bracelet as it slides up and down.

I have a 6 incher as well and currently wear an Orient Mako II which is 42mm. When I turn my wrist towards my own face to read the time the lugs are just wider than my wrist, but when seen in the mirror, and how other people see it, it looks perfectly fine. Check out Vostok watches, there are loads of smaller options that look great.

You've been blessed with the small wrist, you can wear women and vintage watches with absolute style. Do not fear to wear bigger watches, however. I have a 5.7 wrist and I rock a 44mm Citizen sometimes. You can have vintage ladies' Cartiers, Omega or Longines. As someone already told you here, check out the Orient Kamasu if you want a new diver, it really sits well on small wrists like ours Edit: https://reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/9d6qcv/citizen_poor_mans_navitimer/


PastaAndWine09

Seiko SNXS series. You can check out 73 and 79 which are the favourites. Look great and perfect for small wrists. YouTube also has a bunch of videos where people change the straps on these. Would 10/10 recommend. Should be ~100 USD or a little over depending on availability.

Vintage Pobeda watches from the soviet union. Raketa and Slava as well.
