It is a big watch. It is top heavy and my wrists are on the small side. So does it look goofy? I don't mind it looking big, but is is the absurdly big and just look out of place or can I pull if off with my 6.75" wrist?

I really like the this watch, enjoy wearing it and plan on keeping it(which is why I bought it). So please no "who cares what others think" or "as long as YOU like it..." replies . Hopefully the crappy pictures is enough to render an opinion. Thanks in advance !

Looks too big for my personal taste, but not goofy or ridiculous.

Enjoy the heck out it!

crazymcmichael · 1 June 2018, 08:54 AM

looks good man!!

christo4 · 1 June 2018, 09:08 AM

Ha ha ha! Not absurd. Looks like the lugs do not protrude beyond the edges of your wrists, so you be fine. It be tall and bulky but minimalistic and functional. Seiko Marine Master watches have a long respectable history in the tool/dive watch family, as you probably already know, and I think this is a classic/timeless example ...of the genre. In my opinion, Seiko bracelets are a weak point, stylistically and you might experiment with a $20 nato ....which will eliminate any exacerbating / distracting qualities of the bracelet and (I think): Whole package might look/feel "tighter" on a nato.

Sorry for poor punctuation. Getting head start on the weekend.

darwin95 · 1 June 2018, 10:08 AM

I think it’s a bit too big for your wrist I’m afraid.
IMO, it’s still your call at the end of the day if it’s right one or not.
I tried handful of 42mm or bigger watches but nothing lasted too long on my 7” wrist.

Me again. Still preppin' for the weekend. Still think it is perfectly OK, if maybe at the limits of respectability/wearability: But within! Try it on a nato and it will look and feel more compact.

:)

rolehex · 1 June 2018, 01:57 PM

A little on the large size. But still looks good.

Gharddog03 · 1 June 2018, 02:32 PM

It’s a big watch.... with that said it looks great!

KKO · 1 June 2018, 02:50 PM

I think the heft is part of the charm of this burly diver. Not a watch I can wear to the office but it would surely get plenty of wrist time on nights and weekends. Looks great!

It would look killer on an Uncle Seiko Tropic strap.

The watch itself is too big just like the Omega 45s Chronos and GMT. They are all very nice but comically big. I have a 7.25 wrist too.

collarcity · 2 June 2018, 10:15 AM

It's wearing you.

Lol-x · 2 June 2018, 10:29 AM

The thickness of the case is just a natural feature of this dive watch. The same can be said for a Rolex Sea-Dweller.

I don't think the watch is too big, it looks very chunky but that is because of the angle of your photos which accentuates the thickness of the case.

As has been said, its going to look like a fish out of water in the office under a suit, but guys do wear dive watches to their office jobs every day. So its really up to you.

oldman2005 · 2 June 2018, 12:30 PM

I think it looks good

VintageVagabound · 2 June 2018, 01:36 PM

You could soften it a bit by putting it on a strap instead of a bracelet. Unless you’re actually going to go diving with it...desk diving with a nice leather strap would look good though.

cajunron · 2 June 2018, 02:43 PM

Looks good to me.

importstunna · 2 June 2018, 03:01 PM

Looks just a tiny bit big for my taste but works for your wrist. If you enjoy it, that’s all it matters!

Dan Pierce · 2 June 2018, 10:33 PM

Wear it like a boss.

Dr. Robert · 3 June 2018, 12:19 AM

Love mine, but it’s too big and heavy, tried it on various straps, no go.....it’s going up for sale!

Mrjohnhuo · 3 June 2018, 09:07 PM

The bracelet doesn’t go well in my opinion. It’s a bit slim which makes the watch look biggish. I swap mine out to the rubber bracelet and it looks so much better.

Alternatively, purchase a strapcode oyster bracelet it’s a better match.

It looks good. To me it fits like a watch like that should fit. It's a big watch!

Billfav · 4 June 2018, 07:21 AM

I appreciate the feedback and input. I agree - not a watch I would wear with business attire. I always wear casual attire usually short sleeves in warmer weather. It is just a cool timepiece.

This is one of several Seiko's I have. They are just great watches.

It's just a big watch. It's not designed for a certain wrist size. I think it looks fine. I wear one on my 7" wrist.

I think it looks good, enjoy your watch and wear in good health.

dubins930 · 24 June 2018, 06:33 AM

It's a big watch, but I felt like it was much more manageable on an isofrane. And I think it looks great.
