Hey there watch people! I love the look of the Hamilton Khaki but it’s a bit past my current budget. Saw this Timex Expedition Field Post Mechanical go on a great sale and pounced, given the similarities; Mechanical movement, sapphire crystal, etc. only problem is I’m used to >40mm cases (regularly sport a Duro/ g-shock square), and so the 38mm of this one feels SMALL on my 7” wrist. Honest opinions since I’m still inside the return window; Is this comically small at a glance, or is it just me?

Because comparing circumference to diameter size generally doesn't translate well regardless of unit. And also because watchmakers don't give specs in imperial units. We do the same thing in England and we already use a mix of metric and imperial.
