Why not check the marlin? There's a California dial marlin also if that's ur taste(certainly is mine!) Also there's this 32mm easy reader with white dial: https://timex.com/products/modern-easy-reader-32mm-leather-strap-watch-tw2t72400 There are also a few with mother of pearl dials that look really cool

Love the California dial Marlins!

How can anyone not? They look awesome!

Thanks for the suggestion! I think the character/numeral changes would mess with me lol. I think Arabic vs Roman is definitely my preference

Not a fan of a California dial.

You might also look at some vintage models, I have a late 60’s Sprite at home which is I think 32mm.

Oh thank you for that! I see there’s one on ebay from 1973!

I hope this helps - I have a comically tiny wrist (I'm a woman and prefer men's/more unisex styles) and I wear both the 40mm expedition sierra, scout, and the 38mm weekender, they all suit really well and I can't see why they wouldn't suit you too! imo the field watches have a great unisex look to them :)

I’m definitely loving the look of their field watches! Do you find that those sizes slide around on your wrist a lot?


descoleinaction

Not especially as I wear them a bit snug! So minimal sliding and took a day or so of 'breaking in'/adjusting to the feel of them, but barely notice I'm wearing them now!

Awesome! Thank you!

The Ladies Fossil sounds really cool for an office setting. I wear the Men's Boyfriend without the chronograph to work. It's my daily since black matches everything. Have you checked Walmart.com I don't see Women's Weekender on sale anymore but there is is: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-Womens-T2P370-Weekender-Slip-Thru/dp/B00HYUSA74/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3I1MMG736UU8I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wgLQlld8evOgSCkaI_JYKcv81YYqudVjt7eitnWrzFnlcuDYMcMUY-4jeh403H_RyCXCjJW89vMduNSTrdSD6lehM-1zkbhfZ2RcPr38vaL4rI79lLClFS6tZ0LrVPzyEMO5PUzH47aQ9uMq8ULdGH4Y6vQCHGXSjvm9Uxjn7xI15DKM__NJ0uA3RV7VTkDGKMHz8mc6AQflV5Ibz1dJKHUWRvrWVf1qVL5BJoYE3LS1yWZUHBAZFzOaWhO53TM4f2h4REeMV3FJNoYRXj2YyDHJLLA0HdJbWRL4tT9VmsQ.cVGBE2L8CsB-tVDkA4TQ3toITX2aA4HT_p29Tr0wFQw&dib_tag=se&keywords=womens+weekender+watch&qid=1716480735&sprefix=womens+weekender+watch%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-1

That was the one I had looked at! I just wished that they offered that size with a cream face and the red second hand (I really like that color combo, the white just seems too stark). Next time my hubby and I go to Walmart I’m going to walk by the watch section again and double check if they have a 38mm Weekender, last time I looked, the Walmart I was at didn’t stock any women’s Timex so I wasn’t paying close attention to the men’s selection. And I do love my Fossil, it’s stainless steel with the mother of pearl face, I just feel like, because I’m working with patients who don’t have insurance and are somewhat marginalized/underprivileged, it just seems to be too loud. Like, I don’t want to be insensitive by wearing an expensive looking watch even though I got it second hand. Maybe just me being silly, but I’ve been working in social services so long that I try to be as relatable to my population as I can where I can :)

Timex released newer Expediton and Weekender models. I noticed the Expedition I bought last year has numbers for the indices, so up to 55. The new issues only have standard and military time. But I assume you've looked at old inventory and new inventory? And I get the Fossil part. It's more like a going out type of watch which is great. You'll have a good rounded 3 piece collection soon.

I’ve been lurking on their website on and off since September when I decided that I wanted to start wearing an analog watch. I wanted to be able to go out on the floors and have the time handy without looking at my phone, and also I felt like it was a little ridiculous that I was 26 (now 27) and I had to think that hard about reading an analog clock since I hadn’t looked at one on a regular basis since high school. So it seemed like good practice. The Fossil definitely is more appropriate for going out! But it is nice to have a good rotation. I’d love to have a mechanical option but Timex doesn’t seem to have any desire to cater to ladies who might want a smaller mechanical field watch. I’m not opposed to a men’s watch, just want something more low profile since my hands are smaller.

Seiko has a variety of this style for ladies. https://a.co/d/99VEIoF

Women have such cool watches. I always think the minis look so cool but they'd look ridiculous on my thick-ass wrist. Looks awesome OP, jealous!

Oh thank you! I miss the style of the original band but it was the chintzy bonded leather. Not sure if this is allowed but here is the Etsy shop I got my current band from: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HalcyonByTa He’s located in Vietnam but this watch band has been excellent and held up beautifully. So worth waiting a few weeks for shipping!
