It looks good to me, but it's just a photo!

Your phone stands between the watch and your eyes. From this closer distance, the watch appears bigger than the wrist just behind. That's what the phone "sees" and shows on the photo.

One could make the watch appear arbitrary big by taking a photo at 1cm or 1mm from the watch with a special lens.

Close ups are always deceiving. I’ll bet it’s perfect.

henrylee · 13 February 2022, 01:38 AM

3-4

fishingbear · 13 February 2022, 01:40 AM

3. But if you like it and it’s wearing comfortable then go for it!

Gab27 · 13 February 2022, 01:47 AM

IMHO, from the pics it looks a little too big, and so I am going with 3.

That said, closeups often make watches look bigger, it could look totally different in person, and whether it is a 22mm watch or a 52mm watch, if you're happy with it, that's what matters!

Driver8 · 13 February 2022, 01:50 AM

I'm going to have to go with '3' as well. But as others have said, all that really matters is what you think.

(Although I guess you're on the fence or else you wouldn't have asked).

Mags01 · 13 February 2022, 02:03 AM

No 3, it's slightly too big.

Swegin · 13 February 2022, 02:25 AM

I would also be in the camp of too big for my taste but also who cares - enjoy it.

CarlOver · 13 February 2022, 02:26 AM

Too big but if you like it then get it and wear it.

I agree, who cares what we think!

TexEd · 13 February 2022, 02:44 AM

Too large; looks extremely bulky.

dtwer · 13 February 2022, 02:49 AM

Looks about good to me; it's a manly watch so should look substantial on the wrist.

Muscular watches like this look particularly good when they are paired with well defined, muscular arms. If you are somewhat unsure of the way the watch wears on you, do some exercises to build up your biceps and brachioradialis.

Belinus · 13 February 2022, 03:07 AM

Based on the photos I’d say a 3 but I’ve learned recently how hard it is to take a photo of a watch. Some posters on here are extremely talented photographers but for me even a small watch can look like a clock on my wrist if I get the angle wrong

28mm · 13 February 2022, 03:14 AM

what is your wrist size? that way others can check their own size and experience.

Interesting. In image #1, the fit is perfect (hence response choice 1), but in image #4, too big.

In fact, the four images OP provided represent the full range of response options, correlated in series. And yet, it is the same watch on the same wrist. Two paramount constants. The only variable is perspective.

Lesson here is that perception of size is subjective, and we should all wear what we enjoy.

Well done, OP.

A little big but buy it if you like it. I wouldn't let your wrist size determine what watch you can or can't buy.

Hemdog · 13 February 2022, 04:15 AM

Looks Ok but a little high up the wrist and a little tight

OP is asking about the Sea Dweller which is bigger than a Sub.

Skyrider01 · 13 February 2022, 04:26 AM

It's a little big, but it is a big watch. If you like it and it's comfortable, go for it. It doesn't look bad on you.

Jster · 13 February 2022, 04:42 AM

#5. Way too big.

Little machines · 13 February 2022, 04:49 AM

Enjoy the watch ! Still looks good on your wrist ! If you're ok with it great . Good luck !

mchou8 · 13 February 2022, 04:49 AM

I don't think BIG is the right word. Big kind of insinuates that the watch doesn't fit and therefore, you shouldn't buy it. I think it depends what you're going for. The watch definitely has presence. So if you want people to notice then I think that watch is perfect. If not, go with something more low key.

zoenatenich · 13 February 2022, 04:57 AM

The SD has a big presence over a sub. It fits your wrist alright.
Go for it! Congratulations in advance!

effovex · 13 February 2022, 04:58 AM

A) this watch is SUPPOSED to fit bigger (it’s made larger on purpose)
B) a watch a little big/little small on the wrist is inconsequential
C) your money, your wrist, your happiness. What matters is if YOU like it and if YOU think it fits ok.

train-time · 13 February 2022, 05:02 AM

3; bordering on 4

Milhaus · 13 February 2022, 05:03 AM

between 3 and 4...."noticeably big".

I think the real question is, how does it feel?

For me, the problem with an oversized watch is I become too aware of it and it can be distracting. If you dont have that problem, then do as you like.

Go for it!

When you're 20, think everyone's talking about you.
When you're 40, don't give a damn what anyone says or thinks about you.
When you're 60, you realize no one was ever thinking or talking about you.
