·Have you taken a look at the Planet Ocean in 39.5mm? Technically the better diver and in my opinion also a much more suitable size for you.

·OP - by modern standards the watch looks fine. The lugs do not overhang your wrist. I guarantee that no one would think you are wearing an enormous watch.
But it really depends on what you think as you're the one who will be looking at it every day.

·I'm very sorry, but I think it's far too big for your wrist, but I would say that about ninety percent of all users here. Watches shouldn't just sit up like a plate, the bracelets should nestle elegantly around the arm and not just hang down at the sides.
That's just my opinion. You asked for it. But in the end, you should wear what you like.
Many moons ago, a sales assistant once told me a watch & it’s bracelet (perfect fit) should show 1 to 2cms of bracelet on top of the wrist.

·Would agree on a different watch style, dress, typical 3 hander (GADA) but divers (nowdays) typical wear larger than an everyday watch. Plus style have changed, with a much more relaxed attire now, which allows for a sportier style watch.

And then you have watches like the Aventurine dial Speedmaster moonphase- very modern, very big, not a dress watch or tool watch or sport watch, kinda a dressy-sport combo. And frankly, many things from AP fit this "dressy-sport" style.
It's fine if you want to wear a 36mm dress watch, but tastes have definitely grown (perhaps not changed, and that's good) to include some very fun pieces.

·It looks pretty big to me. Personally, I don't enjoy wearing such bulky watches. Maybe you can try to find something more proportionate with your wrist, so you have an actual comparison to make.

·Hi all,
Looking at pulling the trigger on a Seamaster 300, love the piece. I have smaller wrists and the salesperson of course told me it doesn’t look too big but looking for more objective opinions.
Thank you!

·I can only agree with that, he expressed it well and that's exactly what I mean.
But have found now, for a sports watch 39-42mm my max but does depend on the L2L (find my BB58 wears like a dream). But I also own and wear a BB36 as my smart attire watch.

·How can you guarantee the opinions of others? That is ridiculous.

·I would say it looks big to me, but if you dig it, go for it. You can always sell it if you decide you don’t like it.
I generally prefer watches 40mm and under so I have a bit of a bias towards smaller anyway.
