[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 also don't care about what you're wearing. I don't like however when most people here see a + 39mm and automatically go "deym it's to big". I personally hate small watches and a 38mm is already too small for me. I also don't like to see such a small watch on a man's wrists.

But I never even once commented or said "it's too big for you" here. That's why I can't stand the way people complain about watches being too big. And it's way more usual to see people complain about watches being big than otherwise. Here or on YouTube.

Just wear whatever you feel comfortable with and please don't come to me "snobby" and tell me (or others) that their watch is too big.

This is the right attitude. There's too many complains about "oh it's too big" or "too small for you" in the community. Above all that's what I "hate"
