Which TI watch?

Nevermind, they don't have this watch
I think I'll deal with H, but I really need to know if the watch is big, or if it's good for a small wrist, if it's 40mm with the crown it should be fine.
40mm watch looks fine, however, I think this watch is like 42mm or 44mm with the crown, no? If it's overall 40mm then it should be absolutely fine, as long as I can remove some links to size it for my wrist. This watch has nice big numbers it seems, and because it's not so small I won't have to glance too hard I think.
The illumination in the dark looks super cool. I wonder how long it lasts.

The St. Moritz Titan2 is an excellent choice. I have had one for many years, and it has taken a beating. I use it as a field watch when backpacking and camping in the Adirondack Mountains. The titanium case and caseback are wonderfully light, and resist scratching better than many other titanium watches on the market. The sapphire crystal is hard as hell, and has never been scratched on my watch. The crystal even has an nice anti-glare coating on the inside of the crystal.
It uses a Citizen Miyota chrono movement, for those who want to know. Mine may be an extraordinarily good one, but it is accurate to within 1 or 2 seconds per year. Yes..... per year.
The Titan2 has an 18mm lug width, so the strap options are huge for this watch.
I can't say enough good things about the Titan2. If I had to, I'd take the St. Moritz over any of the Seikos or Citizens in my collection.

I have small wrists, but I really enjoy having a watch in the 42mm+ range. My wrists are about 6 3/4" around for reference.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Ti watch cooler than the Breitling Chrono Avenger. Not sure what your budget is, but check it out:

I regularly wear watches at around the 42-44mm range without problems, but the thickness of a watch plays a big role too.. watches that are up to 48mm look good on my wrist as long as they are not too thick.
For example, here is my 6 3/4" wrist with a 43.7mm Chronomat Evolution. I think this watch looks just right on me:
I highly recommend taking a look at the Chrono Avenger or the Avenger Seawolf if you want to spend less. Seawolf can be had for about $1300US used on ebay in excellent condition... and is rated to 3000m water resistance!
