Yo yo looking to pick up my first dive watch. Prefer something that I can use every day and not think about matching to an outfit, my wrist is a hair over 6.25 inch. I own the Seiko
Certina Ds Action Diver 38mm and 45mm lug to lug
Certina Ds Action Diver 38mm and 45mm lug to lug
Certina Ds2 Turning Bezel 41.1mm and 47 lug to lug
My Seiko Snkl23 diameter 38mm and lug to lug 45
Mido Ocean Star Tribute 40.5mm diameter and 47 lug to lug
Mido Ocean Star 200c Titanium 42.5mm diameter and 48.5 lug to lug
I’m a sucker for the blue Certina 38mm DS Action Diver. I have the same size wrist as you, and the shorter lug to lug is what puts it in the winner circle for me (and blue just because). The male end link makes the Certinas and Midos Ocean Star Titanium wear a little larger than their lug to lug, but Certina tends to curve that end link down to sit on smaller wrists pretty well.
I own a Mido Commander and a couple of Certinas, and I do find the case and bracelet finishing to be a little better on the Mido, but it’s not a deal maker/breaker difference.
