LelouchLeonhartDude, that watch looks huge on your wrist. What is your wrist size?

mrsense18cm or 7.1". I totally underestimated the size. It's unfortunately only magnified by the Sapphire distortion imho.

mrsenseIt's huge. And it's thick. And the sapphire bulges out. And it's heavy. It's that kind of watch. The lugs are drop-down lugs and the lug-to-lug is short for the watch size. The silicone strap goes straight down, not out. It's made for normal sized wrists. The huge look is the look, it's a style thing. But it _fits_ normal sized wrists. Glycine has another diver series for a more conventional look.

LelouchLeonhartGlad I saw this. That's looks way too big. I would not be able to wear it without embarrassment.

LelouchLeonhartYou should show an angle that displays the side of the case between the lugs. This is where any strap but the original silicone strap is not ideal. The case between the lugs is a flat area with a horizontal groove or negative dimple whose purpose it is to latch in with a corresponding opposite bump on the custom silicone strap to give the mating rigidity.
On the one occasion that I used a leather strap, right when I got it and before I had built up enough nerve to start cutting off silicone link sections, I did not really like the look from the 12:00 and 6:00 sides. It looked like that part of the case was not designed to be visible.
Maybe, depending on the strap and with time to get used to it, it might be fine, but that was my initial impression.

LelouchLeonhartLooks great. What does it look like on an adult's wrist?

MotorradAn unfortunate side effect of smart phones having replaced cameras for nearly all photography. When you have a 5 mm imaging sensor and the equivalent in 35 mm terms of a 15 mm wide angle rectilinear lens, every face has no ears, every nose is big, all foreheads are domed ... and all watches look like they have the same diameter as the wearer's wrist. All watch photos nowadays are selfies taken by the wearer zooming in on his own wrist. If you really want to see what a watch looks like, give a camera with a 50 mm equivalent lens to someone else and have him take a waist up shot of you, then crop in on the watch. Alternately, take a photo at a 45 degree angle to the watch face to get a better idea of what its size is.
YouTube videos generally can be trusted more because the focal lengths are longer and different angles are shown, but there are no such videos for this particular watch.

LelouchLeonhartTo any other 7-inchers considering this watch, it doesn't look like that. That photo, probably taken with a smart phone wide angle lens, makes it look like the watch's case diameter is nearly the same as his wrist width. The width of my 7-inch wrist is about 65 mm. Measure your own. Use little boxes or T-squares or something to avoid angular errors. The case diamter is 46 mm. The lug-to-lug is 54 mm. There is so much distortion in that photo that the lugs look like they hardly go beyond the watch diameter, which itself looks as wide as the guy's wrist.
I follow the wrist check thread in the forums here, and every photo makes every watch look huge. When I check on the diameters, most of them are quite a reasonable size.
By the way, I own this watch, white face, bought from Jomashop (wish I had waited to get this price) and I wear it more than any other watch, on the original silicone strap.

CloacaJust FYI, the image was taken with a Fujifilm X-T1 (APS-C) using the wide-angle XF16mm (a phenomenal lens). Naturally, there will be some distortion but the optical quality of this lens keeps it at a minimum. This is a huge watch, even if it's apparently designed for "normal wrists".
It's a slightly dark photo and I can see how this could visually mislead a little. Nonetheless, for my taste.. way too large for ca. 7" wrists If you're flavor isn't large watches.

CloacaAre you really that full of yourself that you missed the joke?

MotorradHow did I miss the joke? My response clearly exists solely because I understood the joke.
Your post: The photo was taken on a kid's wrist.
Not getting the joke: Believing that it was taken on a kid's wrist. Oh really, that's why is looks so big. It probably looks find on the member's own adult wrist. No particular need for a response.
Getting the joke: Knowing it wasn't on a kid's wrist, and that the post was a sarcastic comment on the size on the adult wrist of the member. So the implication is that the watch is grotesquely large.
Which one of those two would provoke a response like mine, explaining that the watch on an adult wrist is not as implied, in fact, too large? If you can understand this, then maybe you can graduate to Raven's Progressive Matrices, get out of the slow class, and even get into college without going the "holistic admisstions" route.

LelouchLeonhartYour camera sensor has a crop factor of 1.53, which means your 16 mm lens is a 24 mm lens in 35 mm equivalency terms. That's a pretty wide angle lens, for taking a photo of a watch on a wrist. You have to get up pretty close and you get perspective distortions, as I explained.

CloacaHonestly, I don't care if you got the joke or not. The point that you are so insistent on proving is that you are entirely full of yourself. Your "response" clearly exists because you are a bloviating clown.
It's a BIG watch, and that's a small wrist; your perspective analysis and optics dissertation is irrelevant and merely self-serving.

Motorrad"Honestly, I don't care if you got the joke or not."
Allow me to translate: "I was wrong, you called me on it, so I'll change the subject."
I appreciate it when people with first-hand experience with a product contribute to the discussions about products I am considering purchasing here, and I try to contribute myself when I have first-hand experience with a product. I own this watch. You don't. My wrist is his same dimensions. I responded to your misleading flip sarcasm. Now we are in a who's full of himself fight. The last to respond loses. Your move.

Cloaca"Allow me to translate: "I was wrong, you called me on it, so I'll change the subject." hahaha. Seems you were 'mislead' again. pfft.
"I responded to your misleading flip sarcasm. " hahaha. so you didn't get it. Clearly why you responded with such idiotic pomposity and then keep making excuses for why you didn't get it or were "mislead".
"Now we are in a who's full of himself fight." Ha. I'll concede that one to you. You're just too much for me there, champ.
Small wrist, big watch. The end.
The only one changing the subject is you, Clown. Flippant sarcasm is exactly what that was, glad you finally figured that out. Maybe soon you'll figure out that one should not get so worked up over some harmless sarcasm.
