Size…
Looking at the mirror image, this watch looks fine I think. From another angle it looks rather big. Interesting how a watch van apear so different depending on viewing angle.

Yep, different angles can make a subject look bigger or smaller in photography. Shockingly different.

Agree. I have found the only true test is how it looks to you on your wrist. Not in photo.

Wide angle lenses (like those on a phone) make anything close to it appear larger.
Either way I think that looks great on your wrist!

If you want to be even more surprised at how different a watch can look try to shoot it using the normal wide angle lens of your phone the take another shot from the same distance using the zoom lens.

Absolutely. It wasn't until I took a photo in a mirror from a few feet away that I realized how my watches ACTUALLY look on my wrist to others. Wrist pics totally make the watches look much larger than they are.

My AD has full length mirrors so that you can see what the watches look like from different distances.
Looks great on you OP

Looks great! I think it's a good fit on you in either scenario (close up shot or far away look).

The view of my own wrist like yours in second pic is why I sold my OP41. I'm 7.25" and it looked like a flying saucer landed on my wrist.

Looks like it fits fine to me. The angle can certainly make a difference.

Looks near perfect to me. I had a similar experience, I had a watch I thought was too big, but saw myself in a photograph and it kinda looked small.
