Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing the Omega Speedmaster for, like, forever. It’s totally my dream watch. But, you know, my wrists are kinda small – about 6 inches. I was worried a big watch would just look ridiculous on me. Then I heard about the Speedmaster 38mm. I thought that this might solve the problem.
First, I did a bunch of research online. I checked out some forums and read what other people were saying. Some folks mentioned that there’s this older model called the Speedmaster Reduced. It’s 39mm, which is a bit smaller, but they don’t make it anymore. You gotta find them used.
Then, I found out that they started making the classic Speedmaster in a 38mm size. This was great news! I started digging more into this specific model. It’s got tons of different styles, apparently. Different colors, some even have diamonds, and different straps. It’s automatic, which is pretty cool.
I finally decided to go check it out in person. I found a store that had one, and I tried it on. Honestly, it looked way better than I expected. It fit my wrist perfectly. It didn’t feel too big or bulky. Even with its size, it’s still a beautiful watch.
The only thing is, this style of Speedmaster is a bit different from the classic one that everyone knows and loves. It’s got a more modern vibe, I guess. But it’s still got that Speedmaster DNA.
After trying it on, I was pretty much sold. So, I saved up some money and finally pulled the trigger. I bought it! Now, I wear it almost every day. I’m so happy with my decision.
Here’s what I did:
- Researched online: Read forums, checked out different models.
- Compared sizes: Looked at the 39mm Reduced and the 38mm classic.
- Tried it on: Went to a store and physically tried on the 38mm.
- Considered the style: Noticed it’s a bit different from the classic.
- Bought it: Saved up and finally made the purchase.
- Wore it: Enjoying my new watch every day!
The 38mm is a great watch. It is an automatic watch so that you don’t need to wind it. There are also sixteen styles to choose from! That’s a lot.
If you’re thinking about getting a Speedmaster but you’re worried about the size, definitely check out the 38mm. It’s a great option for people with smaller wrists, or just anyone who wants a slightly smaller watch. I have no regrets. I really like it.
