The movement, in plain words

Sanda lists the Epson PC20S for the 9031 Tank. It is quartz, run by a battery.

On your wrist24 mm across, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 24 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 43% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 13.1 mm inside each model edge. Thickness is unknown, so no case height is drawn.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

24 mm case 30 mm lug to lug Wrist model about 56 mm across
Schematic section, with a 10 mm grid. The ellipse approximates wrist anatomy from circumference. Your wrist shape, lug curve and fit will differ.

Sources give the thickness as 6 to 6.4 mm, so the side view waits until they agree.

What owners report

Owner reports. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From owners1 report

  • Owner liked the fit on a 17 cm wrist and slim case, but heard subtle ticking. An 18 mm replacement strap did not fit his sample.
