It's a personal question; AW Ultra on a 6" wrist wouldn't likely look it's best in the office. Halfway up Scafell or any other hill, nobody will remotely care nor likely in the office TBH.

I wear both technical and mechanical timepieces, yet to have anyone negatively comment on my choice of the day. Vast majority don't care, curious at best. Some do care as a function of dress, equally one should be aware of such circumstance and if not you'll be out of dress...

Q-6
I can assure you literally no one will care at the office and many at the office will want one of their own.
 
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.
Round shape watch is different,they’re much more ergonomic and “natural” so you can get away with larger sizes on thin wrists much easily.
I have a few round watches all over 50 mm and on my skinny wrist they don’t look overwhelming / awkward but even 45 mm regulat Apple watch feels and look a bit big..
 
In my view this is one of the least foolish questions, I would like to know also? It’s not that I’m “worried” about being normal or big or small but it helps purchasing decisions to no small amount to know what size wrist the OP photo’s wrist is, along with the other good pics others have posted. Still looking for this answer in particular for the photos!
Pics are very deceiving as it depends what lens you are using on your phone or camera. If you use telephoto it would look way different if you use "normal/wide".
 
My wrist is 18cm circumference, and it looks great :)

Does anyone else think the space between this guys wrist to the strap is wide?

Either that, or his arms are tiny...

Yeah, I think it looks a bit daft on a wrist that small. Maybe an original Apple watch strap without the lugs would improve that a little.

That can be a huge difference for those with smaller wrists. My 51mm Fenix 5 is a beast on my wrist. Meanwhile my 45mm series 7 is about the perfect size.

I'd love to see Apple go the Fenix route and introduce two models of the Ultra - 49mm and 45mm for those with smaller wrists.
-Ultra : 49mm x 44mm x 14,4mm, 61,3 g (a silicone band is around 40g I think)

-Fenix 5 : 51mm x 51mm x 17,5mm, 98g (with silicone band).

Fenix 5 is bigger, about the same weight…

A silicone band is nowhere near 40g.
 
A silicone band is nowhere near 40g.
Nowhere near? It was a guess… so I checked. Actually 30g for a sport band… Not too far. So the Ultra is overall lighter with silicone bands.

The sport band weight actually differs by colour; white is one of the heaviest. Also, you can always use a Solo Loop or Sport Loop; those are much lighter still. The new Trail Loop for the Ultra was specifically advertised as „the thinnest Watch band“ yet; I bet that one will be ultra-light.

Edit: I weighed a few of my bands. Sport bands were between 28-31 grams, so 30 for the White is actually „normal“. The silicone Solo Loops were all between 12-13 grams.

Thanks. I am not worried about the weight. It was just referring to a post comparing it to a Fenix 5. The Ultra is overall smaller and lighter.
