44mm size needed

I tried on a 45mm watch the other day thinking it wouldn't be so bad and it looked absolutely ridiculous. The "big watch" trend is one that needs to die.
If anything, I think Apple would try to make a smaller watch (maybe 34 or 36mm) if future LCD technology allows a smaller bezel within the thickness of the current design. 38mm is actually a traditional men's watch size, though it is positioned as the more likely size for women.
+1.
It's kinda already dead here in Europe! Of course, from time to time you see a chav wearing a big 44mm+ fashion watch like a diesel or whatever, but it's getting rare these days. Thank god!
Big watches look tasteless even if you're pretty big (see Stallone and his huge Panerais).

Yeah, the watch I tried on the other day was a Panerai (PAM572). Couldn't stand the look of it so I went with the PAM512 (42mm). Much nicer size. Other Panerai, which can get as large as 47mm are ridiculous looking if you ask me!
It's nuts that you were able to figure out this huge mistake Apple made, and it probably never even occurred to them!
I feel like apple nailed it with the sizes. They could have just offered one, but instead made two sizes. Most people will be able to make one or the other size work.
LOL. Trying to work out if you're being sarcastic?
Good job you wear your watch on your wrist and not towards the top of your arm....
ninethirty is just thinking only on himself probably so thats why i hope will never work for Apple
The most luxury watch and complex one is

and it has 47.4mm so a 44mm is not that big and ridiculous on big wrist

Yeah you're supposed to wear your watch on your wrist, not your forearm. I need a 15" watch for my chest.
P.S. In the picture your wrists look below average male, and they look skinny.

'We also made a 44mm for the morbidly obese, with matching ginormous straps' read that in Ive's voice. The funny thing is that the 42mm is really the one that encompasses the fat wrists so 44mm is just not necessary...unless you're shaq
It's because of the photo
The wrist is big enough for a 42mm watch trust me

Baby, you tried apple watch on the event? i guess not based on your last statement
Trust me 42mm is for a normal man wrist. For americans fat ones is just too small
Apple did a small 38mm watch in height for small wrist (apple statement) so they need for large wrist too, the opposite way

Agree that super big watches are a bit silly. But Stallone is a bad example because he is about 5' 8" and while very built is also probably thinner than you realize.
Actually, anything over 40mm is generally considered "bigger" when it comes to watches. I'm wearing a 42mm now and it's literally the size of my wrist.
