The Story Behind This Watch

Big. Holy…yea, the biggest and thickest watch I own right now. I literally laughed out loud when I opened the case and saw this hunk of watch sitting there. I think they made the case oversized to make the watch appear smaller. Just my opinion.

But…once I had it on, I found that it wore smaller than it was, meaning that it does not look stupidly huge on my 6.75″ wrist. A good thing, for sure. It’s weighty, but not so much that I feel like I am dragging my arm around, and it does not get tired after I wear it for a while (as I have read from others elsewhere). The one thing I think it’s lacking is a perpetual calendar, then it would be totally hands-off (except for twice a year when we go in and out of Daylight Savings), but, I can live without it.
