·It's a big watch for sure, but only you can decide. Everyone has different tastes and wrist-shots are always distorted.
However, if you feel it's too large, it's probably too large.

·It doesn't look terrible, but i don't think you should go bigger.
Any other photos?

·Yes. I would hunt down one of the previous generations as their proportions are more versatile.

·Get the prior generation with the non waves dial, ceramic bezel and solid case back. It’s a gorgeous watch with smaller proportions and excellent examples can be found now for about 3k with a little work.

··Burt Macklin, FBIThese are not my photos, but this member asked the same question regarding the Ultra Deep- you should try taking photos like this and see if you feel any different. The photos below are the same wrist and watch (just different band). Wrist shots are always distorted and taking the photo like below changed the perspective a bit.

··Sets his watchHard to tell from phone pictures as they make the watch look bigger. How big is your wrist? I also second the comment above about checking out the previous generation Seamaster. Although still a hefty watch it is noticeably smaller.

·Personally, I think the size of the modern Seamaster is completely overblown.
These are my measurements:
2254.50 SM300
41mm x 12mm 158g LtL 47mm
Green SM300
42mm x 14mm 198g LtL 50mm
I'd say +/-0.5mm for all measurements because all I had were calipers.
Don't get me wrong, there is a difference, but it's the weight difference that's is most noticeable to me, and not the other dimensions. Everybody wears a watch differently and is looking for something different than the other guy. I say wear it. It's a great color and an exceptional watch.

·Welcome to OF
I sometimes think that my 2254 is to big for my small wrists. As mentioned above, a wrist shot does not give the full picture, pun intended. Try different angels and look in the mirror, but remember its a diving tool, so its supposed to be big. And also as mentioned above the older models are smaller.

·If you like it, buy it. It's not a 55mm Invicta.

·I’ve thought the same… while I generally like the looks, the watches are BIG. For comparison, I have a 3861 Speedy and it fits well on my smallish wrist. I’ve contemplated previous versions as they look nice and appear to be better for smaller wrists

·If the lugs don't bothersomely exceed wrist width and you like it...no one can argue with that. And no one will. And if they do...

·I have 6.75 wrists, and have no difficulty with the current 300m Diver, especially on a rubber or sailcloth strap.
It wears noticeably smaller and better than the OG Pelagos, though I tend to wear that one mostly on dives these days.

·Thank you for all the reactions! I’m looking for a new GADA watch. For the last few years I have been wearing my Sinn 556i.
Still really enjoy this watch, high quality and goes well both with a suit as well as casually. However, I’m in the fortunate situation that I have some budget available to spend on a new watch (up to EUR 8000).
My wrist size is 18cm (7.08 inches). It is however relatively narrow.
I always liked the seamaster, however I think that its dimensions, especially lug-to-lug, are a bit too much for my wrist since it is almost wider than my wrist.
There are a few other watches which I am considering. First the 36mm explorer 1. I like its simplicity, the oyster bracelet and the fact that it matches very well with a suit as well as casually.
Second, I like several Grand Seikos. In particular looking now at the SBGM221.
Finally, the 38mm aqua terra or the 39.5mm planet ocean. And last but not least the sapphire speedmaster 42mm.
Soon going to both the GS and Omega boutique to try on several models😀.

·Hi guys,
Really liking the green Seamaster. However, I tried it on and I’m slightly doubtful about the watch size. My wrists and hands are relatively narrow/small and with a lug-to- lug size of almost 50mm (49.9mm) I’m not sure if this just looks clownesk...
Any opinions?
thanks!

··Burt Macklin, FBIMy wrist size is 18cm (7.08 inches). It is however relatively narrow.
For example, here is my Speedy in a typical wrist shot. The watch looks bulbous and makes my wrist appear small. It looks like the tips of the lugs are just right at the edge of exceeding my wrist.
Using the same lens, I pulled my cell phone further away and took a second photo to illustrate how misleading a wrist shot can be. There is plenty of space between the tips of the lugs and the edge of my wrist.
Which, is again, why I said earlier on to take a photo of the watch in the mirror. It changes the perspective and gives you a much more honest visual of fitment.
