Alkiro1 initiates a fascinating community survey, inviting collectors to share the average and median sizes of their round watches. This post delves into how personal wrist size and evolving tastes influence watch choices, sparking a discussion on modern versus vintage preferences and the impact of lug design on wearability.
Very interesting exercise imo. Makes one reflect on pst and present. All the very best, Alex
and the largest is 42 mm. All others are between 39 mm and 40.5 mm. Without deeper analyses I would say that the average is 39.0 - 39.5 mm. Often 37 mm feels a bit small while 42 mm feels a bit big. My dream size is 39.5 mm which suits well to my chicken wrist of 200 mm / 8 inches. Best, Kari
Dressed watches: 38-40 Sport watches: 40-42 mm
Across the current collection, the average is: 44.285714285714286 mm (Interesting number)
for vintage it averages at around 33-34mm for modern around 39-40mm My smallest (vintage) is 31mm and my biggest (modern) is 46mm CC
Shows an increase in size. Dress ones average 40mm. Sport watches 44+mm. The fact is that my wife keeps an eye on anything less than 40mm. As we speak, she was trying my Omega Central Tourbillon!!! Fear!!! Cheers, Nilo
