Yes.

Totally classless these, which is only magnified on small wrists.

If you are going for a big watch look, go for it and rock it like a boss.

But since you asked...I personally wouldn't wear a watch that filled up my wrist like that.

In that photo it looks a bit large on your wrist. Does it look silly........ No not at all.
If your wrist is smaller than 6 3/4 inch that watch may not be for you.

Looks fine to me. The lugs just about fit and don't overhang. You couldn't wear much bigger, but to me looks ok.

Looks a little big in the photo, but wrist shots always make watches look bigger. Wear it a little higher on your wrist, too. That’ll help.

If it were me, yes it way too big.

Depends on what you like.

I think that it does look too big on you.

It's a little bigger than what I would recommend by definition but it definitely doesn't look comical. So if you like it then no worries. If not, sell it and get something you'll love, and not just because it's new.

Honestly? Yes it does. But as said before above, it doesn't mean it is bad if you like it.

It's big, but if you're tall you can make up for it. People often forget that watch proportionality is about more than just the wrist.

I don't think it's as much about being tall as being 'big' and especially muscular. This wouldn't look bad on somebody very muscular, but these dimensions look weird on a skinny guy as it seems like he can barely lift his arm up while wearing it.

Solid point. That said, some tall, muscular dudes have tiny wrists. It would still work in my view, as long as the body is able to balance out the large size of the watch.

No it doesn't. It's just the angle. How people think an additional 3mm makes a big difference is beyond me.

I have a 6.4 wrist and it looks amaze balls on me.

That's borderline, could go either way. In my mind if the lugs stretch out wider than your wrist then it is too big and yours is right on the line.

Those type of wrist shots are deceptive. Take a photo from a few feet away to see how other people see it.

Wear it above your bone - and it will sit better and not irritate your skin on the hand...

Exactly the two are not necessarily synonymous.
