A community for watch & horology discussion.
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?
I have a 7 inch wrist and I’m wearing an Hamilton LL Bean field watch and I’m pretty sure it’s 33mm
Why do you quote your wrist size in inches if you understand millimetres and the size of the watch in mm?
How do you relate the 2? I see this often on the sub
That’s an interesting observation. For whatever reason as a Canadian I measure longer distance in metric (kms), mid-level measurements such as height width depth of an object Imperially (feet and inches (perhaps due to the fact that most trades still default to this), and specific micro measurements in metric, think anything under 10 cm, probably due to my schooling. Liquid volumes are definitely all default measured in metric (litres, etc), while weight defaults to imperial for big stuff (people, heavy objects), and metric (grams) for smaller stuff (measuring for cooking, hot tub chemicals, etc. If you can provide me with some kind of explanation I’ll take it. Would definitely be easier to default to one system!
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.
Very nice!!
Looks great on you.
Looks great, not too small. enjoy.
I think it looks very good! Not to small for sure.
75% of the watched on this subreddit are too big and look stupid. This looks pretty decent size.
Looks perfect!
Looks great. Smaller cases are getting trendy and as a small wristwatch person I’m here for it.
I’m general I like smaller cases because it gives the strap a bit more attention and I think really looks great.
Looks good, nice watch!
