Are big watches over?

June 27th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

Chad the Watch Guy is reporting that he’s seeing a max out in big watches at 42mm which means even rappers and oligarchs won’t go around wearing pie plates on their wrists for much longer. I can handle a 50mm+ sports watch, but 42mm is a bit big for a mechanical, non? Your thoughts?

    I like the 42mm for those with big hands-but nothing looks more pathetic than a man with small hands wearing one of those behemoths!

    it is a trend started by fashion houses and writers to do something different. I bet in 2yrs razor thin 80′s style watches will be back in. I think a watch looks good at around 42-44mm. I also think it is a cost issue, big watch big bracelet, more expensive to produce. I also hate the rose gold trend. It’s just fashion bs.

    I agree that its getting rather excessive. I almost gagged when I saw my first Bell & Ross “wrist clock”.

    At least I know what to get Shaq for his birthday.

    With an 8 1/4 wrist, and 6’4″ 260, a 48mm+ watch works for me. I agree that the ‘fad’ part is silly. I saw a slight man with a monster watch and it looked like an ankle weight for training!
