• Looking for some advice/random opinions on watches for those of us with small wrists (I’m 16cm circumference and 5cm width). A recent inheritance means I’m looking to treat myself, ideally to a sports diver. Not looking for fussy dials or chrono complications.

    Had thought about a Black Bay 58 in blue, but they seem to have all sold out. I have an appointment on Saturday with my local Omega dealer to try the Seamaster 300 and Plenet Ocean 39.5mm, but I’m thinking both might be too big. Anything else I should ask to try while I’m there, or should I just suck it up and wait for Tudor to restock? Max price would be £5.5K, though less=better, obvs.

  • My wrists are only a bit bigger at 18cm and I have a seamaster 300 and don't find it big at all.
    The planet ocean at 39.5 is smaller but it feels taller . Seamaster 300 is slim for a divers watch and frankly also is awesome. In my opinion is way nicer than the Tudor and I sell both but it is the Omega I choose to wear . It is more money though.
    And I do have a reputation for being "mr Omega" on here.

  • Thanks. I confess I’m trying the Planet Ocean mainly to discount it - I can’t see a watch that tall suiting me! I’ve been wearing a Speedmaster Reduced for 30 years so perhaps I just need to get past having a 38mm case on my wrist and go for the Seamaster!

  • 2nd pretty much all of this!

    I found the Planet Ocean felt massive on the wrist compared to the Seamaster - the Seamaster bracelet is really comfortable and the watch fits under shirts easily (not the case for many dive watches).

    I know the Tudors are popular on here but I thought the Omega beat them easily on finish quality and the little details that make it feel more special.

    The new ones look great & I'm quite envious of them (mine is the model before).
