[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

Until 2000s male watches used to be 34mm, chronographs included (check the magnificent Blancpain ones). Things have changed in the last twenty years, teaching the current, non sensical situation, probably to please vulgar customers who wanted to show off their expensive products. Therefore no worries and get a "woman" model if it fits you better.
