Beautiful!
But the weird angle of the photo make it look bigger than the wrist. Can I suggest to take your shots holding the smartphone less closer?
Sure! Here is a better idea of how it fits, keep in mind my wrist is 6.5":

Got mine in December, and I'd agree with others here on its versatility. Jeans and t-shirt up to a suit, always looks great!

I hate bringing up old threads, but I just had to update. After 9 months making this thread, I finally got it!
I have gone through a few other watches since, waiting for one of these to hit the used market at a good price. Found one selling locally so this last Friday, I went on my lunch to purchase it. I love it!

I’m not crazy about the horizontal lines on the dial. A bit too ‘busy’ for my liking.

Congrats. Beautiful watch. The Aqua Terra line is just such a subtle, elegant beauty that you can wear with anything from shorts and a t-shirt to a suit. I always thought a moonwatch would be my first Omega, but now I think it'll be my third after I get an AT.

I agree/love mine!! Whether it's with a bracelet or strap, the design of the watch feels as at home with a T-shirt as it does in a suit! I've seen a few on NATO straps and those look pretty-killer too!

I used to own the recent 38mm version but always felt it was slightly too large for my 6.5 inch wrists to accommodate given that it is all dial.

When viewed from a little distance, as show in the picture, it wore ok I think but looking at it up close on my wrist I couldn’t ever quite get comfortable.

Maybe I just prefer more traditionally sized watches? Or maybe I need to buy it again and just give myself more time to acclimatise!

Wrist shots can be tricky, and usually the watch looks bigger than it's actually wearing. So for what it's worth, that watch doesn't "look" too big for your wrist at all. At least from my perspective and that photo.

Thank you and noted. You may be my first step back towards the Aqua Terra!

The lug to lug on the AT is forgiving for those of us with smaller wrists so maybe I can make it work.

Looks like the right size to me!

Finally got around to putting a bracelet on my AT from last year. Looks better than I thought. Will still use the leather on occasion. A little too shiny for a Nato.

Thanks!

Here are two more pics which are more up close and therefore better reflect what I was seeing and why I thought the AT was perhaps to big for me.

There are endless threads on this and other forums on "How do I know if it fits?" etc. I think if the lugs are sitting on top of your wrist and not over lapping it... there's a good chance it's not too big. If there is air and not skin under the lugs, your watch is too big.

I agree. I also subscribe to the school of thought that says if you are asking the question, “is this watch too big for me” on an Internet forum, chances are it is!

I had the watch once, if it felt right to me I guess I would still have it.

I do love that dial though...

Congrats OP! This is so awesome - it looks so great. I am now considering it for myself!
