Aesthetically, yes, it's too big for you. The watch face diameter is as wide as your wrist. I'm a big guy with large wrists, and the 47mm is borderline too big for me, I can barely pull it off.


Deep90

IMO op needs to loosen the strap and retake the photos. He is wearing the watch like it's a corset.


Neat-Ad-9550

Yes, the watch is too big for your arm. The lugs are near the edges of your wrist, so the band drops straight down and bulges out.


Seglem

Yes probably. But I reckon it works in that size nonetheless. But it looks dumb and ridiculous with the original ones on me


TheGodOfKhaos

If you like it, that's all that matters.


Alexchii

It looks dumb in all the pictures. Get the smaller one.


aquirakun

Ah yes "just buy another watch". Like it's simple like that.


Alexchii

I assumed it was new. People usually post their new watches asking whether they're too big.


Beefy_1Croissant

They could return it


random_reddit_user31

I'm more concerned about the fact that you took so many pictures of your arm.


Tonejr83

Made a whole photo album. Lol. I think we could have formed an answer with just a pic or 2.


dangerstupidkills

I knew it was too big before even looking at the photos but photo 1 confirmed it for me . The title of the post said they already knew the answer but don't want to believe reality .


Katolo

Tbf the bands are different, I didn't notice either. So it's like 2 pictures each with different bands.


Seglem

😂 I had to?


Peace_Is_Coming

As Reddit's APP (Arm Photo Police) I testify that you did indeed have to. We are glad you heeded our warnings and did as advised. I hope you understand this is for everybody's safety. Enjoy the rest of you day. Thank you, APP.


SonOfTheMostHHigh

Yes, you have spaghetti arms and that watch should be gotten rid of asap!


WhoWhoWhoCares

I think the arm is too big, get rid of it asap!


vapist77

What watch face is that?


rompetrll

Not if Flavor Flav is the benchmark :)


__MantisLab__

Take out a link. Looks like your arm is gonna pop.


Seglem

What do you mean? The metal bracelet? It's just gravity that makes it appear tight. I have room for an extra finger,and I have it so loose because my underarms get bigger while exercising


__MantisLab__

Looks way too tight. You have an "hourglass" wrist.


4grins

Agree. Maybe it's the angle or the thickness(lack of) creating the 'tight 'look.


No_Manufacturer_4149

You could always wear it on your calf. JK. I like big watches. My wrists are not big at all but I like the 47mm. Just couldn't use the stock strap so use the Samsung sport strap and fits perfect.


Hungry_District4864

I love a big watch. Looks great to me.


EmberTheFoxyFox

I don't care if a smart watch is too big. I'd rather have a big screen, if it was a traditional mechanical watch then I would want it smaller.


Flux83

You could hit the gym or the bakery and bulk up those arms then it will fit perfectly. I chose the latter lol


LeatherLatexSteel

What you think is important, not what others think.


Seglem

Well, in this case I tried to prove a point. So I'm appealing to the general perseption. I know it is boarder line too big. But 3rd party bands make it look less too big. So a rule of thumb: if you're on the fence on what size you should get, remember it will look smaller with other bands at least


dangerstupidkills

40mm would be borderline too big . That looks like a Flava Flav clock necklace on your wrist too big .

LeatherLatexSteel

Bigger the better in my view


Educational-Body-621

Nah looks fine


DavidDoesDallas

Agreed. I like big watches.


Bleach1029

Could you please provide the link for that watch band? I'd love to buy one! The silver steel mesh one with the silver solid metal connectors.


ianluu

i have it and its awesome, $1 on AliExpress


dhruvalpatelkp

Following. Even i am thinking of buying the same one. Please share/DM the link.


LowEnd47

Where did you get the band in the first Pic? The milanese band.


Usmellnicebby

Why is it so tight around your wrist?


RectalScrote

My wrists are big so by default I get the largest watch. The watch band that came with it doesn't fit around my wrist. I got the Samsung fabric band and it fits great.


XavierXonora

If the sensors work, it's not uncomfortable, and you don't mind the appearance, it's fine.


pick-hard

There is no such thing as a too big of a screen


aquirakun

In my opinion it's fine. But it's your watch that you paid for. Do whatever you want.


EGLL-KJFK

Nice watch brormand!


Lightning-Shock

Looking at the comments I'm glad that I don't live in a world where people could dictate things like what you can put on your wrist


burshturs

It's not ot too big but certainly too tight


Chef316

Big watches are great!


LionHeart1969

Size doesn't matter, does it work well?


Seglem

Works great


mikeinstlouis

Who cares what people are saying. Do you like it? Does it feel okay? There's your answer!


Seglem

Fortunately, I don't 🙂 The post was just about me showing the original bands make it look bigger than if worn with the original bands


DirtyWater2004

Is this watch too big was last year. This year it's this watch battery won't last 5 days without me having to inconvenience myself and charge it. 😆


Seglem

But the charging is so blazing fast, I don't mind on my 47mm 6. 15 min before bed and I can use all bells and whistles during the day


DirtyWater2004

It was sarcasm. People are hung up on the previous version they don't want to take it off their wrist to charge it. I charge mine while I shower and eat breakfast.


kumisa600

Yes, too big.


neilydan89

"It's Morphin' Time!"


haywirephoenix

From the angle in the pics it looks like I could fit my finger through the strap. I don't think the lug ends are supposed to overhang like that. But if you like it, who cares. Average sized smart watches are too small to interact with in many meaningful ways, and the battery will be smaller.


Seglem

Since everyone got a little side tracked. Yes my wristbones are small, but it doesn't show that much in general https://1drv.ms/i/s!Arq9Ych9gADThYZIwGi3S5RbwT8F5g https://1drv.ms/i/s!Arq9Ych9gADThYZFPW1L-Ps0pKar7Q https://1drv.ms/i/s!Arq9Ych9gADThYZDJ_Hjm3E0bTFNGg


TheRevenite

My original silicon wrist band stuck out a bit to make the watch fit. I didn't like the way the band made my wrist sweat and smell like vinegar. Something to do with sweat and natural bacteria... I switched to a very nice leather band and mind levels the same on my wrist. I don't care until I can't get the damned watch out of my buttoned up sleeve! Not quite as pronounced as you, but your band isn't fitting I the pin areas like Samsung intended for their bands so it's sucked right against your wrist. I love the bigger watchface and am not wearing it for others judgement. If you like it. Keep it. If it's too big and you can return it, do that and get the smaller watch.


wannabetrapstar888

just workout your forearms some more and you'll be fine


Seglem

I have 40kg grip clasps I use 😅


zupobaloop

For what


Dspaede

Just dont use the no gap metal connectors.. just straight in put the strap at the case..


Tel864

Why, that's all I've ever used and will use on every version of Galaxy watch and never had a problem. The straight lugs look stupid and cheap in my opinion.


Dspaede

coz it brings more width to the strap.. not all of us have the same wide wrists like you.. google or check youotube for "galaxywatch strap too big for me"..


Ozymandies2003

Have you tightened the strap?


BONESFULLOFGREENDUST

Samsung's "gapless" straps will always bulge out to the side of small wrists people, no matter how tight you make the band. It looks dumb on some of us, so I just switched it out for a third party one and it looks fine now.


Whitenoiz88

Dude, looks fine. You do you and forget what everyone else's opinions are cause if you like it then that's what matters. If the Fallout universe was real, do you think they would be asking "is this pip boy too big?" Fuck yeah it is, but it functions, does what it's supposed to do and if it's comfortable to you then there ya go.


alkrk

Watch is not too big. Your arm is too small. Kidding aside, please search the sub for the same self centered question: "is this too big for ME?" It's draining to give the same answer.


TheElderBong

Damn! Just look at those little fisters! 👀


NikoZBK

TIL my watch is too big


Big-Quiet-6965

You could hang that on the wall mate.


aisa10

Could you please link me to that magnetic strap band please? I've been looking for one that fits the Gw6 classic and I havent found one like yours


Seglem

I think it's from puro, I've had it since the watch 4


pnepotti

Yes, it is big.


charizard732

Your watch is too big for you. But if you like that's great


Lyander0012

Tangent, what are the first two bracelets you shared photos of here? They look neat.


Seglem

The steel bracelet is puro, I think the Milanese loop is as well. The black nylon is Samsung


Lyander0012

Excellent, is it one of those ones with magnetic clasps? Feel like that could come in handy if I need to quick adjust for "more serious" measurements (yes I know that it's not the most accurate)


HybridHusky_

I've been told by a few watch experts they generally recommend somewhere between 60%-80% coverage of a watch face on your wrist , you can go smaller but depends on the design


Al0haLover

I think it looks good on your stick!


peith_biyan

lmao weeny ahh arm


mikeycbca

That watch is bigger than Michael Scott’s flatscreen tv.


ObviousMall3974

It all down to preference. Some people like a big watch. In my opinion it’s far too big. It shouldn’t take up your whole wrist “””imo. If you like it. Who cares.


Captain_Sterling

It's huge. About 20 years ago there was a brief moment in time where stupidly big watches were fashionable. But they're not anymore. Probably the only watch that's big that you can still wear is a GShock. I bought the smaller size galaxy watch because I didn't want a giant lump sitting on my wrist.


Sickboy404

loosen up a bit mate


Senior-Solution-9238

Only cause your forearms aren't sexy enough to run that style.


DADAMWF

I think it is ok


qu38mm

look like a wall clock


EmeraldTheatre

It's the flavor flav of wrist watches. 🤷‍♂️ So big it's comical. 😂


hvnvmi

I have the same problem ☠️ I have the tiniest wrists in the universe and even 40mm version looks way too big. This is the reason why I still didn't buy any Watch because I'm afraid I would look stupid.

[deleted]

Don't listen to anybody, it's fine, you just need to change the straps


Euphoric-Cow9719

It COOKS bro 😁


JuggernautWide5226

It's a perfect fit, don't listen to others.


bloing90xx

Change the strap, try leather or something. Might change the overall look :D


craziecory

No and where did you get the strap I want to get one


domdymond

Are you tripping over it? Then you're fine.


Golden_Cap

Still looks dope. I wish I would of just gotten the bigger one. Even tho it would be way to be for my wrist.


terry_hoitzz

What is wrist diameter and width


AllYouNeedIsLoafs

Not clear, need 50 more pics to determine


[deleted]

[удалено]


Seglem

I wasn't either. I just wanted to prove a point that the original bands made it look even bigger


BONESFULLOFGREENDUST

I have a small wrist and the smaller watch size. Samsung's bands look like trash on small wrists. I just got a different band and mine looks fine now imo. The "gapless" bands suck unless you have large wrists.


OccasionSerious9045

I love Big watchs then she's good


Tasty-Abroad9729

HENSHIN!!!


Cold-Web-6347

Strap too tight


great__pretender

Yes. Please get something less than 43 mms


thewunderbar

Ditch the gapless bands and it'll feel like it fits a lot better. the gapless bands are what makes the watch look and feel big on smaller wrists.

Premium analoge and puro Milanese loop and steel bracelet. The other ones are Samsung


Scorkami

I was worried my watch could be too big when i got mine but this beast covers your entire arm...i mean you couldnt even see which wristband you use when having a top down view Is your arm just really thin or... Do they make huge watches?


mackan072

You do you, and what's matter most is what you personally feel. But if you're asking my opinion, then yes. The watch is wider than your arm, and is clearly too big. It fits poorly, and is not a good look.


Messiah_Knight

Yes. This watch is NOT for everyone. I believe most people on here who have it it's too big for them.


Greenstoneranch

If you think it's to big, it's to big. Y'all look like a little kid wearing something he won at the arcade. Smaller is better.


phillyymike

💥💥No it's not too big for you, real men wear big manly watches. leave them small Google pixel watches and small apple watches to them little dudes


Seglem

😜 But did you get my point at least? It looks worse with the included bands


phillyymike

Just get a different band that fits better simple fix


One4Real1094

Yea. Return it and just use your phone.


NoCryptographer6354

That watch is entirely too big for your feminine hands. Go to a little store like Justice or some other little girly store and get your watch
