Is 44mm too big for me?
Hello guys,
I have a comparison between my 44mm and 40mm watch. What do you guys think? is 44mm too big for my wrist? Please leave your comment below. I appreciate it. |

That 44mm looks great on your wrist.

The sub looks perfect. The AP looks way too big on you. The plots are overhanging your wrists

Too big for me and I would not say I have a thin wrist. Also ran with the 42mm Explorer for a while but eventually went back to 40mm - dose just perfect.

Black is always going to look bigger than stainless steel on your wrist.
44mm will work, but you have to be happy with it. Its all about what makes you happy. I like 44mm but unfortunately some 44mm watches do not feel comfortable. For me one of the most important aspects of wearing a watch is comfort. A watch may look 'BIG' on a wrist, but if your pleasure outweighs a look they go with what makes you happy.

well, that ROO with those pushers wears more like 47 than 44. it's an awesome watch and, if you like it, that's what matters. personally, i think the subarmariner looks better on you, but, that's just me.

Thank you guys for the response. The 44mm wears comfortablly on my wrist, but i think that 40m looks more aesthetically pleasing.

Offshores are meant to wear big. I think both suit you just fine.

In my opinion the 40mm looks big, but no more so than it might on my wrist. The 44mm looks ridiculous.

Is that a watch or a misworn ankle bracelet for house arrest? (J/K)

The 44mm wears big, but I don't see a problem with that.
If it's comfortable on you and you like it, go for it. |

It is only too big if YOU think it is too big and/or uncomfortable! Either way that AP is awesome!

44 too big. The 40 is much better, though a 38 would be the best solution.
