Tbh Looks awesome of course the look is unique but I love it and it suits your wrist fine
Watches
A community for watch & horology discussion.

I tend to think small watches are unbecoming of a man. But I also think large and overly-adorned watches are unbecoming of an adult. It mostly will depend on how the watch rides your silhouette when you look in the mirror. Everyone will have their opinions.
You didn’t mess up at all. This will be a beautiful heirloom to hand down to your daughter.
as a guy that likes a watch this size, I found that a bracelet can make it feel a little more substantial
Yes, but it's fixable. Just admit to your Mom that you stole her watch, and return it to her. I'm sure she'll forgive you.
I love this watch, but would want the solar version.
It's small by today's standards, but men have worn small watches pretty consistently throughout history, so who cares?
To be honest, it looks great. Especially paired with a suit, I'd guess.
But then again, that's my opinion and even if I thought it were hideous, you could still find it amazing and enjoy your new watch.
I appreciate your opinion… thanks.
It's smallish, but if you like it then whatever who cares what ppl think.
I care.! I’m terribly insecure…
K , go get a larger watch and compare if much better sell this one or gift it
Found this one on the larger side considering the style of the watch
Yeah in my opinion way better
Do you like it? That’s the only opinion that matters.
Maybe it’s the watch, but you seem to have pretty big wrists? Tried it with a suit? It could become your “suit watch”.
Agreed!
Good for a tux but yeah, a bit small otherwise.

No, you did not mess up.
never. this "rule" nowadays that men's watches have to be big doesn't make any sense and is stupid, until the mid-70s men's watches were smaller and everyone looked good wearing one. beautiful watch you have.
Thanks 🙏😊

At first glance, looks like a ladies watch on your big wrist.
It is, indeed, a lady’s watch.
If possible, you should keep it a little loose, exactly like Mo Ali in that pic.. wear it like a bracelet :)
dress watches should be small
If you're wondering then you probably know deep down in your soul
I happen to be born without a soul,, so unfortunately no
Then you can definitely rock it man! Welcome to the club also haha
Even with modern trends, square/rectangular watches have remained small and elegant compared with size changes in dive/dress watches. I personally like the style of a smaller rectangular watch.
Classy! Also it’s not too small at all.
Yeh dress watches aren’t supposed to be huge and I actually like smaller watches but this looks like you have raided your mums jewellery box. Sorry.
The sizing of these watches doesn’t really make sense to me, the most popular Cartier tank is like 34x25mm but these only come in a 39mm which is way too big for this style watch and a 31mm which is too small for an average man’s wrist.
Are you saying I raided my mothers box..! Wtf is wrong with you.
I totally agree about the sizes though.
Did you get that off the eBay auction? I saw the same piece and was thinking of bidding on it
Ordered online but not from a shop
As long as you’re confident in it, you got a clean, classy looking watch.
I have one of my grandfather’s old dress watches, rectangular but wears like a 32mm watch and I love it.
Way too small imo but if you like it, wear it
I just bought a 1940 Bulova American Eagle. it's 3/4" x 1 3/8". Tiny by today's standards but I think it looks awesome on my 7.25" wrist.
You go with what you enjoy and forget everyone else!
That will look good with a long sleeve button-up shirt. That style watch is just too dressy for short sleeves no matter the size really.
Small watches are for everyone.
It's only when kid strap a 45mm to their wrist looking like little boys where their dads shoes and suit jacket that the problem occurs.
Super slick chief
I may be biased since I love smaller watches (on me, the tinier the better) and it looks great!
Nope
