While many of the best EDC watches tend to measure in on the larger side, more brands have started releasing small men’s watches, and for good reason. The smaller case size and proportions help better highlight certain design features. You might also just have a small wrist and want something that fits it more proportionally. Smaller watches also tend to be much lighter, less bulky, and more comfortable to wear than popular overbuilt dive watches and larger tactical watches. This guide covers some of our favorite sub-40mm watches that are excellent EDC watches in their own right. They're stylish, low-profile, and durable enough to earn their spot on your wrist.
