Its not THAT big unless your wrist is smaller than average. You will get used to it in no time Did you take any wrist shot when you tried it on?

Am now going back to a DJ after years on sports models and that's what I was worried about.

I tried the 36 mm, but the DJII seemed to work better for me. I'm 6' 3" and weigh over 220 pounds.

Love the DJII, don't think it's too big.

Dan, that's my favorite DJ. On my want list!

It depends also on your life style: if you intend to wear mainly with shirt and jacket or in any case with a bit formal attire, it seems to be just a bit big on your wrist.

Dj ii

With the current trend, it is not too big. My wrist is a little under seven inch's & it is O.K.
