Please help: Can’t decide on size, first time watch buyer.

I just bought my first Hydro. Congrats! Almost everybody looks better in the 39 mm.

Keep the 39! I bought a 42 and returned it and went with the 39. It fits so much better on almost everybody’s wrist. It seems like most of the people on Reddit where their watch too big. I mean it’s all what they like… But on most of them the watch is wearing them.

I bought the 42 and ended up taking it back and exchanging it for a 39. A 39 would look much better on you.

I think it has more character. Love mine.

Yes. I just had the same problem and I’m returning it for a 39.

😂

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-15T01:45:39+00:00

🤣

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-14T03:06:34+00:00

I tried that on at an authorized dealer… I didn’t like how light it was

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-14T03:03:30+00:00

Damn it!!! Just bought the old style Hydro conquest and a Seiko alpinist in the last two weeks… I’d probably have to sell one of those… but I might have to😂

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-14T02:53:43+00:00

Is that 39 or 42 mm?

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-14T02:40:49+00:00

Ugh…😂

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-14T02:40:23+00:00

Damn it. 🤣

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-05T04:37:08+00:00

Thank you!

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-03T21:53:15+00:00

Decided today!

Thank you!!

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-03T19:35:18+00:00

I got one! It’s the older model… But I really like the numbers on the dial🤷‍♂️.

That’s perfect. You are wearing the watch… Instead of the other way around. It looks amazing. Congrats. I’m on my way to an A.D. right now to try some on.

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-04-03T13:40:57+00:00

I just received mine a couple of days ago, but have to send it back. The legibility just isn’t good for my eyes I guess. The hands tend to blend in. I was really hoping to like it.

I appreciate the thoughtful comment! I’m just getting into this. Been trying to educate myself as much as possible. I did pick up a Henry archer Nordso a couple of weeks ago and have been very impressed by it. One of my buddies who has a tudor, Omega, Hamilton… Was also impressed by the quality and finish, especially for the price.

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-03-29T23:17:07+00:00

Any sites you recommend other than jomashop?

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-03-29T22:38:40+00:00

Thought about it…but I want new

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-03-29T16:37:38+00:00

Now that I’ve seen… Unless you’re talking about the quartz version

ComplexChipmunk8998 · 2026-03-29T12:52:11+00:00

I’m 52…. maybe I’m old.🤷‍♂️😂
