The proportions don't look good for me, that's my personal opinion only.
But YOU must like or love looking onto your watch!

I think it looks good. You might try wearing it on your wrist as opposed to your upper hand. It will give you a better perspective on the watch size if you move away from your hand.

Does it wear comfortably? Looks proeminent, but it's a sports watch.

I would love your opinions on the watch size
Looks good to me!

If it's any consolation, I have a 114060 and a flat 6.5" wrist as well. It's definitely pushing the limits of my wrist, but I think it works. I'm also fairly tall at 6'4" so I think the watch "fits" my overall frame nicely. I've never had anyone say that the watch looks big on me but I have had people say that my 114270 looks too small. It's probably due to big watches still being the norm but who knows. To each their own.

If you love the watch, rock it!

I dont think its objectively too big on you. It doesnt look ridiculous like some oversized watches you see.

That being said, I have a similar sized wrist and I wouldnt want to wear a watch that big. Its right at the limit and I think a smaller watch would look better and probably be more comfortable.

Not too big, but this is truly your limit in terms of lug to lug length.

I also wear mine mostly on the wrist bone, it’s loose enough to go there as I find it uncomfortable when it’s too tight below the wrist bone.

Looks absolutely fine, bearing in mind that photos almost always exaggerate the size.
Have to laugh at the '5 digit' pushers

IMO it is the upper limit for your wrist size.

I have been through similar phases to you where I've had niggly feelings about a watch.
Through my own experience, that feeling never really disappears, so if you've been getting the feels that it's a little too big, then it probably is, regardless of what we all tell you here.
