[Discussion] Does anyone else simply hate the so called "oversized" watches on small wrists? (alien.top)

Normally when people think of man watches they think of large stuff. Even some Bauhaus ones despite thin are rather large, thinking of Junghans for example.

But if like me your wrist is more on the small side, I think smaller watches definitely look better. Stuff like Vintage Omega, Longines be it new or vintage, Timex or any brands that can deliver smaller sizes.

With this being said I have to admit sometimes I've considered wearing "women's" watches precisely due to this. Is that acceptable?

Concluding all this I'd just like to say I obviously hate Diesel watches

I have skinny wrists and 38-39 mm is probably the sweet spot for me. But unfortunately they don't have the seamaster that I really like in that size. So i wear what I have, because I like the look of the watch and even though its a bit bigger than I would prefer, its not a total faux-pax for a diver to be on the bigger side.
