Look how big Apple Watch Ultra is on a small wrist!

I'm 6'6" and about 270lbs. I wear a XXL tshirt. I bet if you put my tshirt on whoever that person (most likely a KID) is in the picture, it would look ridiculous as well.
So, What are you trying to say???? Not every product is meant for every person. They make smaller watches. Pick one of those.
You must not live where there are time piece enthusiasts. Specifically luxury watches. Large watches are very common. Even stodgy old Rolex came out with a watch almost this size a handful of years ago. The Sea Dweller 'Deep Sea'.
Panerai is another brand that comes to mind. There are a LOT of cheap watch makers that make huge watches for the wanna be crowd as well but they arent luxury. Just look fancy.
See, in OPs photo it looks enormous, but the photos here in comparison to the regular watch make it look not much bigger.
It’s still a no from me though, I like the design, but not for everyday wear and I would really want to see it in space grey or midnight.
I don't think it's necessary to state "in my opinion" before or after every statement of opinion, as it's pretty obvious when it's a subjective statement vs. a claim of fact.
Agreed. And for me it extends to just about everything else. I just pray I never the only witness to a crime, because the police will never catch them 😂
Not to mention that aesthetics and opinion vary between individuals, groups and locations/regions. Some people think purple hair, gauged ears and nose rings look cool, I don't happen to share that opinion. I don't care if somebody else does it or likes it, that's up to them, but it's not my thing. Goths dress differently than surfers, inner city urban youths dress differently than rural farm kids, and there are probably different fashion trends in New York and San Francisco. Some people like to blend in and follow current trends, others like to stand out and be different.
"Fashion" isn't monolithic.
Could NOT agree more! I love big watches. I wish it were bigger! #BeastMode Lol

Well I'll definitely be wearing mine everyday.
You said it gets in the way, is awkward and uncomfortable….. implying you have worn one …. How do you know any of those things from a photo ?
That's entirely subjective. I wear a Fenix 6 (51 mm), which is 2 mm bigger than the Ultra, as my everyday 24/7 watch. It doesn't get in my way, isn't awkward and isn't uncomfortable.
Finally we, the big-wristed people have our day under the sun. Enough with the abuse we received from Apple in the way of kids watches. Our day has come and will only get better. Next year 53mm after Apple realizes that this is the way. Sleeping giants are awake now. We will rule the next decade with watches so big that it is not even funny. Join us now or else…
Dude whether you like big watches or not, your watch doesn’t fit, it looks like it would slip off your wrist. There’s daylight between the strap and your wrist.
Can we get someone to try this on that isn’t 6’1 95lbs?
It can become all the rage, but at the same time, wearing shoes 2-3 sizes bigger never caught with the public
Not trying to argue at all, because I want the Ultra to work for me … bigger screen, louder speakers so I don’t have to occasionally raise my arm to my ear during a AW phone call, usable when wearing gloves, a custom button … how does wearing a thick big watch not “get in your way”? I’m thinking the extra 3.7 mm thickness is biggest obstacle. Do you wear very close to your hand so that fitting under your sleeve shirt is not an issue? Over time you got a feel and awareness of the thickness of the watch such that you don’t bang into things with it? How big is your wrist, over 200 mm?
I have it on order and will try it out, but any feedback would be great.
My wrist is around 185 mm. I wear my watch in a "normal" watch position (above the ulna knot in my wrist), I don't wear shirt sleeves (as in dress shirts) - it's probably been close to 10 years since I've put a long sleeve dress shirt on, but I could see where a big watch could be a problem for those who wear them often/daily. If I wear a jacket during cold weather, either the cuffs are large enough to fit over it or I pull the left cuff just above it.
I don't bang the watch into things any more than I do with any other watch. I guess a few millimeters doesn't make that much of a difference to me. There are some things that any watch would be in the way of (reaching into tight spots, etc.), a few mm wouldn't make a difference in those spots. I sleep with it on and haven't cracked myself in the head yet - basically the only time it comes off is when I shower or when the watch is charging.
Yep …I have super skinny wrist…but I ordered the Ultra…do I need it…NO…am I a super trainer…NO…but I like Titanium and want a brighter display…will I keep? Not sure we will see..I would have gone with Titanium on series 8 but not an option…if went with S8 would have to be SS and not much less expensive..battery life is better also.. time will tell..my wrist is little.
