This. ETA movements separated from higher priced brands with the same movement by lack of a screw down crown.

Not really, it’s a 42mm I think. I don’t wear women’s watches.

Only in 2018 is a 39mm watch considered a women's watch.

These big arse watches are a modern fad. I'm not losing sleep over it by any means though. Each his own.


ETA:

I have this 38.4 mm TAG. Is this a women's watch?




Also, have this 40mm Daniel Wellington as a casual watch...is this a women's watch?

My daily-wearer is a Tissot 516 automatic. Reliable and looks good. I get a lot of compliments.



I disagree with the poster that said most won’t have heard of Tissot. It’s one of the more recognizable brands now—I think they did the official time-keeping for the World Cup and NBA playoffs (and got the associated brand placement).

Edit: actually Hublot has the World Cup.

Dude, if that's a 42mm watch, you have the wrists of a woman

Eta: Just saw it is a 45. Still tiny wrists

I have a 36mm Datejust that looks just as good as my 44mm Citizen IMHO. Doesn't look small at all.

My problem with watches is the thickness

Just got my gf a 28mm watch, and the sizing is perfect. I've only seen a couple of chicks wearing bigger watches

Bigger watches can look good on women, but to act like a 36mm or even a 34mm can't be worn by a man and makes the man less masculine is hilarious. The big watch phase just started fairly recently, and watches are actually starting to trend back down in size. I have a small wrist, so anything with a lug-to-lug of over 50mm is too big for me. IMO, it's better to measure watches in lug-to-lug over width anyway, when determining if the size will fit your wrist appropriately.

I bought one around New Years -- I like it, good daily watch that looks really nice until I decide to spend the $6k+ for an Omega, etc.
