Title: Men's watches
Post by: Menoimagination on December 26, 2015, 05:13:31 PM
I got a watch for Christmas and I'm worried that it looks silly because obviously girly arms aren't the best for man watches because of how bulky they are it might make my arm look even more feeble.

Hey, it looks great.  It's not too big as long as the two ends where the band attaches aren't sticking past the width of your wrist.  From the picture it looks like it's fitting right.

I find the same thing with mens watches too. Yours looks great though; looks like a perfect fit for your arm :)

I haven't worn a watch in forever but when I used to look for them they would usually have the same design in mens and women's sizes, calling them "mens" and "ladies" but they were exactly the same except in size. I'd just get the womens because my wrists aren't huge either. As long as I like the design I'm cool with that.

As long as the lugs aren't going past your wrist, you are good to go! Perhaps your just not used to a face being larger on your wrist? Big watches are a thing, anyways. You get these massive 50mm ones out there lol. Nah, man, your watch looks good!

Ok thanks :)
I haven't worn a watch since I was like 11 (because I went through about 7 in a year they kept breaking) so I am just not used to having a watch.
I'm glad it looks ok.

It does look ok.  Before I clicked on this thread I thought to myself that I would see someone with a really too large face on their watch and was going to suggest to look for the "needle in the haystack" mid sized men's watch.  Looks like you did well!

Men wear strange things. I have seen more than one cis man to wear plastic watch, not unlike the one from your pic. Just they were pink. Enough to say I rest my case. :D

But yea, looks within the expectations for a man. I wouldn't wear it, I would prefer a little more of feminine touch.

Well, even wearing female watch as a binary man is on the table. If I had to come up with a reason why would a transman do that, I would say it is to mock stereotypes that used to harm them before they found themselves.

I say that everything I do, I do as a woman, if not as a lady. Even things that are considered manly.
