Seiko Seiko 5 Automatic 2023 Steel 36.5mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 36.5 mm case suggests

Seiko Seiko 5 Automatic 2023 Steel 36.5mm measures 40.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 36.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.11 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 91% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 95% of the 390 Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 45 mm (1.77 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 54 mm (2.13 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40.5 mm (1.59 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
