Normally when people think of man watches they think of large stuff. Even some Bauhaus ones despite thin are rather large, thinking of Junghans for example.

But if like me your wrist is more on the small side, I think smaller watches definitely look better. Stuff like Vintage Omega, Longines be it new or vintage, Timex or any brands that can deliver smaller sizes.

With this being said I have to admit sometimes I’ve considered wearing “women’s” watches precisely due to this. Is that acceptable?

Concluding all this I’d just like to say I obviously hate Diesel watches

    Yes, watch shops tend to have this default “man big, woman small” mentality. My friend happens to look awesome wearing big watches and she has a number including a Panerai Luminor (they tried to sell her a Due but the bigger one looked better on her) and a Breitling Navitimer 41 among others. She’s a very slender, quite tall model build but has quite flat wrists so they all look awesome on her. On the other hand, I was looking at Reverso’s today and the the smaller, more traditional ones looked way better on me, even with my 7.5" wrist.

      Exactly. I also think your friend is right if she likes how bigger ones look on her wrists and commend her anti-stereotype attitude rly
