Does the Ultra look too big on my wrist?

I have a small wrist, but I like the Apple Watch Ultra. So I ware it and could care what other people think. Go for it if you like the watch!
My honest thoughts are, and I’m not being funny here, is why give a crap what anybody else thinks? You do you.
Since starting dialysis, I’ve made a point of delinerately losing weight and I know my wrists are smaller-ish. And I’m buy an Ultra.
But then I’ve never cared how I look; so grain of salt 😝

Agree with above poster. Only you can make that determination, not ask some stranger on forum for their advice.
Yep, no need to worry… and in all honesty: As long as you like it, go for it!👌🏻It looks completely fine to me.
Just get a wrist upgrade/extension.
Begs the question, when will we start wearing iPad mini’s on our arms?
Honest opinion as an AAPL holder, looks perfect 👌
Honestly I think it is big and clunky. Nothing to do with your wrist. It looks big on most people IMHO.
But I do agree with the rest. What we think doesn’t matter. You do what you like ☺️

In my opinion yes, it looks too big. I think the bigger Apple Watches look too big on most wrists, I think that's true of a lot of analogue watches too, I'm just kindof a small watch guy. It's mostly the thickness I think. My favorite ever watch was a Mondain Swiss Railways watch I had before Apple Watch came out, was a lovely thin, minimalist design.
As for everyone saying "who cares, you do you", I agree with the sentiment 100% - if you like it then it doesn't matter what anyone else things, but if OP actually just can't make their mind up and genuinely wants a second opinion to help them figure out what their own opinion is* then you're not helping.
*and sometimes hearing the opposite of your opinion can help sure up your own in your mind, it's not like they're necessarily just going to go with what the majority tells them

Edit: Just remembered I got a warning from the mods last time I corrected someone's grammar, so I'm pretending I didn't do anything of the sort here. In case anyone could care.

I remember vividly, pulling out my 3GS in 2010, and someone said „damn, that’s a big phone!!“ - sent from my iPhone 13 Pro Max
how it looks in a picture is different than in person. if you want a better idea, ask some people in real life.
I have a small wrist too and own an Ultra as well and i like it. The watch looks great in your pictures, but it looks absolutely great. Be aware, that you are deliberately wearing a "big" watch, that has to look that way.
One additional idea: The band in the pictures adds additional size. Use one of the polyelastomer bands and it looks gorgeous.

You too
Use one of the sports bands and you will love it. This band adds size to the watch, which will not be present with the polyelastomer bands.
...Just my personal smallwristexperience 😀
So we've established you could care. The question is: Do you?

To answer your question:
Yes, it looks HUGE on your wrist. Almost comically so.
As a fashion accessory, does it look good? This is subjective, and everyone must validate their own opinion.
Mine is: The Apple Watch Ultra is UGLY, whether it is on or off someone's wrist.
But... it's actually a tool now, innit? If I would've find it more useful than the regular Apple Watch (I got), I'd wear it anyway.
Thus, decisions, decisions.
