5063 How does my new watch look?
Good afternoon, chaps!

I bought a watch on eBay last week, when it arrived I was very disappointed to see how small the watch face turned out to be.
I decided to keep the watch, but I've got an inkling that it looks silly on my fat wrist.

What do you chaps reckon?

It looks fine, maybe a bit tight but that's more a matter of comfort.

Reckon you've got it on too tight. That tightness is going to make your arm swell. That swelling will make the watch face seem even smaller. You're your own worst enemy.

I like it. A lot of men's watches are large but it doesn't look odd.

Thanks, chaps. I've decided to slacken the strap and wear the watch further up towards my wrist rather than having it strangled half-way up my arm. There's a very noticeable difference.

That's a really nice watch. Oversized faces are a bit cartoonish, in my view. Timex?

Agreed.

People who wear huge watches either have an over inflated ego or they're completely short sighted.

My other half's a secondary school teacher. They now have to have digital clocks alongside the analogue ones because many of the kids struggle comprehending the latter. The GCSE results for the school are well above the national average, too.

I've never been able to read analogue clocks. I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence. At least, I'd like to.

It's a Swiss watch. Made by Mondaine, famous for their railway clocks. Cost me £25!

I've got this sucker here, it goes with a lot of clothing, the metal doesn't look gash - and it has some nice nostalgia / retro points.

£28 in Argos, and I've gotten a ream of compliments, particularly by my Asian co-worker who exclaimed that it's very fancy and iconic. I quickly corrected any ideas that it's real gold, much to their disappointment.

I like the look of that. I've been looking for a simple watch, nothing fancy, but for some reason they're hard to find at a reasonable price.

Really odd attitude, this one. There are a few practical reasons why having a watch and a phone is a good idea (it's easier to look at your wrist than to take out and unlock your phone, for example), but putting those aside sometimes it is nice to have single purpose items.

Most phones that I'm aware of don't require unlocking to see the time. If it takes significantly longer for you to get a phone out of a pocket than to raise your wrist and look at it, your hands are too fat or your pockets are too small.

Chances are your watch is worth less. Unless you have a shit phone, in which case your mugger will be royally pissed off.

By that I mean you tell your potential mugger that you don't know and walk on. That seems to work for me.
