If does look big in those pictures, however:

1) close up wrist shots taken with wide angle lenses on phone cameras create a distorted perspective, making watches look bigger than they actually are

) to mate it worse, your wrist surface area reduces as you turn your wrist to view the time or take the picture.

Can you get someone to take a picture with your wrist at your side - to see how others see your watch on you?

From this photo you appear to be definitely maxed out on size. Is it too big? Only you can decide. Personally I think it's a beautiful watch and would wear it and enjoy it if I were you.

To my eye, it's definately too big and not just by a little and it isn't just the way the photo is taken.

However, by "too big" I mean it's not my idea of how a man's watch should fit. And there are many here who will tell you it's perfectly fine.

What we really need to discuss is "How should a watch fit a man's wrist?". To many the answer is "whatever/however you like". In my opinion, it's not as simple as just keeping the lugs inside the wrist. The lugs should be well inside so that the strap or bracelet flows away from the watch in an arc that extends out from the case, not in a sharp square turn so that you can't even see the strap from the front.

But the again, I still wear my belt at my waist and not half way between there and my knees so clearly I am falling behind the trends.
