PO 37,5mm for men?
Hi folks! I'm eyeing the mini-PO (37,5mm) for myself - have not tried yet personally - can the owners comment on whether the size is ok for men? My wrist is on a smaller side albeit

If it works for you then it is good.

I see no reason why not. Hopefully you're able to try on both prior, as you might be surprised.

The height or thickness of the PO is on the high side. For a 37mm, you may want to look at the proportion of the height vs width. It may wear high on your wrist. I went for the 45mm as I found the ratio is more balanced.

Try one on, if it feels right, then I see no problem!

It’s what you want that matters. People wear 33mm watches. All down to personal taste. Try to go and try it on.

PO 37,5mm for men?
Lots of people on these forums wear watches that are way too big for them.

I originally owned the 37.5mm version (pictured here) and then sold it and replaced it with a 42mm version. Having owned both, i really feel that the 37.5mm was more suitable for my 6 3/4” wrist.

39.5 is a more Rolex 40 mm like size. It's small enough IMO

Thanks a lot all! So I tried 37,5mm yesterday, unfortunately does not fit me. SA said there is one 42mm from old stock that she would order to the store. So will try out that

PO 37,5mm for men?

The current 43.5 wears a lot like the 42 older model (I owned the 42mm 2500). Have you tried a 8900 43.5? When I saw the dimensions on paper, I thought it would be too big. But it wasn't

Only looked at 43,5mm as thought that would be too big, but worth giving it a go. Yours is quite fascinating, very regatta-esque if there is such a word

i started out with all 33-39mm watches but gradually developed a taste for bigger watches. went the other direction after that with 45-46m and have since settled on 40-44mm with 42 my sweet spot. Quote:
that's freaking nice right there !! |

I would definitely see if you can try one first. I have the 42 and it wears smaller than you would think - it looks smaller than my 40 Sub (though it is certainly thicker).

Btw, here's a wrist shot of 37,5 PO Sochi edition on my mother's wrist - seems quite fascinating to me
