We end up buying larger watches because there is a severe lack of selection in smaller watches that are automatic movements, diamond-encrusted, or otherwise “girl-ified” with mother-of-pearl and heart/flower shaped cutouts, etc. Honestly, all I want are 30-35mm versions of men’s watches.

I respectfully disagree on the ‘not looking for small watches’ comment. I’m a female watch collector and since I’ve been in this hobby, I’ve met only one other woman who shares this passion, and we bonded over the same problem- modern mechanical watches for women are too large! They’re all unisex sized. Ladies who prefer smaller, exquisite pieces either have to settle for quartz, or buy luxury or vintage mechanical pieces. The poster woman watch collector is a woman who prefers unisex-sized timepieces, but that’s not representative at all. Unfortunately, that’s what watch brands are now going for.
