We start with the Seiko references the brand itself labels as women's, then add small unisex models. Plenty of women wear larger watches too, so check the fit tool on each page.

How we picked
Seiko's own product labels decide the first group. The second group is any current Seiko with a case of 36.5 mm or less. Within each group: Each watch earns points from published specs only: sapphire crystal (2), water resistance of 200 m or ISO 6425 diver certification (2; 100 m earns 1), screw-down crown (1), power reserve of 70 hours or more (1), display caseback (0.5), hacking plus hand-winding (0.5) and lug-to-lug of 47 mm or less (0.5). We rank by points, then by lower US list price. Near-identical colourways are grouped and we show the lowest-priced one. We cap each model family at two picks so the list isn't one watch in six colours.
