Our Best Watches for Small Wrists (38mm and Below)

If you have a small wrist or if you just prefer a low-profile watch, try these options in the 36mm-38mm range. We have some great picks for you!

1. Baltic MR01 Gold PVD 36mm - Stitched Saffiano Black Strap

Baltic-MR01-Gold-PVD-36mm-Stitched-Saffiano-Black-Strap-baltic-mr01-gold-pvd-on-stitched-saffiano-black-strap_bc7aa209-f79d-46c2-ab93-bde8e3fed224_480x480

With its clean lines, black-and-gold combination, Breguet appliques, and 36mm case, this variant of the Baltic MR01 makes the perfect dress watch for both men and women. It's classic, classy, and affordable.

A micro-rotor design gives the MR01 its thin profile. Powering the watch is the Hangzhou CAL5000a movement, which is visible through the glass caseback. You can't really go wrong with a gold PVD and black strap combination - it just looks amazing in person.

2. Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Auto 36mm

Hamilton-Khaki-Aviation-Pilot-Auto-36mm-H76215140_480x480

A 36mm pilot's watch? You read that right. This robust, highly readable flieger-inspired timepiece is a great daily wearer for the adventurous. Strap it to your wrist and you're all set to carpe diem.

Powered by the H-10 automatic movement, the Khaki Aviation Pilot features a Nivachron balance spring, an 80-hour power reserve, and 100m of water resistance. The half-skeletonised sword hands and the arrow-tipped seconds hand are pretty neat.

You can pick from three dial colours: sunburst blue (shown here), sunburst silver, and shiny black. It's also available in a gold PVD configuration.

3. Fears Brunswick 38 Salmon

Is any watch collection really complete without a salmon dial in it? Our top pick is this 38mm vintage-inspired gem from Fears. It's a sporty daily wearer that's also at home as a dress watch.

The Brunswick 38 comes with a cushion-shaped case, brushed dial, and skeletonised hands. Notice the hand-applied warm-grey indices which feature the "Edwin" typeface specially designed for Fears.

You can pair the rich-toned dial with a black Bristol Leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. If you want a glimpse of the manual-winding ETA 7001 movement, opt for the open-caseback variant.

4. Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 3.6.9 Brown No Vintage Effect - White Luminous

If your style reads classic and sporty, try this vintage timepiece reissued by popular demand. It has been aged intentionally to give it that authentic vintage feel.

The golden medallion on the case back is an alluring touch. It hides the SOPROD P024 movement that powers this 38mm watch.

While we love the brown-dialled, caramel-strapped variant displayed here, you have a few other dial and strap options to pick from. 

5. Baltic Prismic

Baltic-Prismic-Green-Bracelet-baltic-prismic-green-bracelet_a8459560-5252-43ab-ab62-4280d525ca73_480x480

Step into the 1920s with this redefined 36mm cocktail watch. While the old timepieces catered to women, this modern take is more unisex in its approach. It has a complex dial with a radial guilloche pattern surrounded by a brushed sector topped by applied indices.

The Prismic runs on the Peseux 7001, a Swiss mechanical movement known for its precision and reliability.

We're in awe of this green-dialled version that comes with an integrated Milanese bracelet. The other dial colours—blue-grey, salmon, and purple—are equally stunning. Baltic also has a Prismic Stone Dial collection featuring vibrant jade, red agate, and lapis lazuli dials.

6. Furlan Marri Disco Volante

"Disco Volantes" are (often lugless) watches with stepped or decorated bezels. This 38mm version has a cream-and-green combination.

The varied concentric circle pattern paired with the stepped bezels gives a complex, mesmerising look to the dial. The lume rings on it are just the touch of whimsy a futuristic design like this needs.

Powering this beauty of a timepiece is the simple manual-winding calibre Peseux 7001, revamped by Furlan Marri for this design.

Overall, this is a striking remake of a striking watch. If dressy and old school is what you're looking for, you can't go wrong with a Furlan Marri Disco Volante.

7. Nivada Grenchen F77 Dark Blue Aventurine

Nivada-Grenchen-F77-Stainless-Steel-Dark-Blue-Aventurine-68010A77_480x480

Add a dash of '70s swagger to your wrist with this stone-dial reissue of Nivada Grenchen's take on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. It makes a great "sporty chic" option for daily wear and is an easy choice if you prefer a time-only watch.

The 37mm case encloses a sparkly dark blue dial and faceted hour and minute hands. It's flanked by a sleek integrated bracelet in stainless steel. A lapis lazuli dial is another option if you love the colour blue. If you prefer grey, go for the anthracite or the meteorite dial.

Regardless of your wrist size and profile preference, you're sure to find the watch of your dreams in our store! Come on down to our Watch Discovery Studio on Collins Street and give these watches a try.
