Thoughts on men wearing small watches?

[panamamike]

Seems the trend these days is a big watch for men, even for women.
I have an older men's watch that is rather small. Given today's standard, it could be mistaken for a ladies watch.
I see wearing the watch more as a bracelet than a watch.

What are people's thoughts on men wearing small watches? Is this a danger zone?

I do not think it is a danger zone and I do not care what Non-WIS say. That's my smallest one

OK, what is a WUS

I know.... Have an older Accutron sub 40mm... what size do you consider small?

Not like shoe size being related to a certain anatomical part?

This could be considered one of the funnier posts... gads.

Tip. If you own an Apple device and like music.. Check out Animoog. Now 99 cents and going to 30 bucks in 29 days. Just loo at it. I got it today for the fun of it.. What a deal
I am not at all changing the theme here... passing on a great tip for the small watch crowd.


With best regards,

Thanks, nice collection BTW, I appreciate the input. This post is more geared for the non-WIS. I'm curious what people think of "nice" watches that aren't necessarily in style. I suppose I'm wondering where folks with a sense of fashion make of "classic" style vs. current trend when it comes to watches.

Why do I care? A watch is one of the few areas men can make a fashion statement, and unfortunately also be judged by said statement. I'm curious to how this choice in style is read by most.

I figured I might get a few jokes on the subject, but I suppose that's the price of getting an answer to such a question.

It's a classic gold watch, 32mm diameter not including the crown. I have a larger wrist at nearly 8 inches. The watch doesn't cover my whole top wrist area...Additionally I have rather large hands, making the watch appear even smaller. This is what I'm calling small.

Also have to say, I don't care for wearing large bulky watches in general, I suppose I could if the watch isn't too thick... I have a tendency of bumping the watch being left handed.

I'm 6'4 and I'm more than comfortable with my masculinity to wear this 28mm watch (without crown)! I'm not really trying to make a statement against the common trend. I'm genuinely interested in the simplicity of early 20th century watches.

In this particular case, it's a Gruen Veri-Thin Precision watch, worn by fighter pilots in ww2.

Thoughts?

The reality of the situation is that true fashion trend setters have been wearing smaller vintage pieces for a while now.
