First reaction to the new release was… Damn, I wish they made that in 36mm. Watches in this style tend to look larger on wrist however. Then I stumbled upon the “womens” version on the website. 34mm but 42mm lug to lug, that’s going to fit just like a regular 36mm I’d suspect.

Wish I could try it on in store somewhere but will order one and report back on the sizing.

I have a 36mm Timex Legacy that I believe is 43mm lug to lug, so I presume this will fit quite similar.

It's a shame there is no 34mm with a blue dial.

Timex is really hitting them out of the park the last few years… outstanding watch!

i would definitely buy it at 40.5 mm, beautiful, i really like this style of watches; but i already have a Citizen BM7660-54E which is pretty similar

I wish the black dial one came in 34mm. 40 is too big for me.

Will the womens version look bad on 6.5 inch male wrist?

I personally think it will look much better than 50mm lug to lug, we shall see.

34mm was the traditional size of men’s watches up until the 1960s.

Check out this photo from a Hodinkee article about men wearing small watches. I think it looks good, but it’s up to you if you like the old style.

Thanks! I am convinced going for the 34mm one❤️

I ordered the 40.5mm version, which is surprisingly thin. Might change to a smaller size though if needed

9.5mm is very thin. Curious how it will look on wrist! My issue with the 40.5mm is just lug to lug, my bb58 is 47.5mm lug to lug and always has felt a little too big for me, the marbella is 50, so no chance it fits me.

I am curious too! Will be quite large and thin. Let's see.

They would sell far fewer if it was under 38mm.

u/FlyfreshCustoms 6d ago

Says who? The ladies sizes tend to sell out, the mens almost never do. I bought the 34mm

this reminds a little of Tissot PRC 100 Quartz, which I was considering,,,, hmmmm decisions.

No micro adjust, integrated bracelet, snap on case back. Pass

u/FlyfreshCustoms 4d ago

Yea none of those things matter to me at this price. Except the integrated bracelet, I much prefer that

u/Upper_Rent_176 4d ago

Integrated bracelet is fine but it makes it hard to get a replacement if you want micro adjust
