[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 a 6.5-6.7 inch wrist and I agree, a good fit is important. However I do own a junghans chronoscope and a king turtle lol. The junghans is 40mm I believe but the lugs are super tiny, like it's difficult to attach a single pass strap. Because of the short lugs I think pretty much anyone could pull off a junghans. Same with the turtle, small lugs make it wearable

I think my point is that lug to lug is way more important than dial size
