(Poll/Conversation) When do you predict big watches to become the trend again?

Fashion changes over the span of decades, so I don't expect them to be back in the mainstream again for a while.

·

We are in a comfort culture. Unnecessarily wearing a clunky watch that no one originally found comfortable will take a while. I agree that trends come and go, so my guess is a decade at a minimum.

I ve got a diesel mr daddy II wearing regularily. It grabs a lot of attention though it s not 'mainstream' anymore. I can remember the years every 2nd dude walks around with one of these, and i m glad those times are gone

It won't matter to me the general trend. My 6 1/2 inch wrist doesn't care lol 😆😆😆.

·

I did not like them when they were trendy, so I don't really care if/when they will be back.

I also think, before social media, posers relied more on in your face displays of wealth. Today a photo of your expensive watch holding the steering wheel of a rented Ferrari seems to be the "trendy" thing if you are after validation from strangers. So who knows if Breitling for Bentley will ever become a thing again.

I expect pocket watches to return in force before the wrist clock catastrophe plagues mankind again.

Define "big watches," I'm genuinely curious.

·

I prefer smaller watches and am happy about the trend to go back to smaller watches, but I have the impression that only watch fans are into it. Lots of people around me who like watches, but not enough to consider it a hobby, and may only have 1 or 2 fine watches usually go for big bold models

Can't say I follow fashion, below 38 is too small, above 45 too big. That's it for me , regardless 😉

·

It will never die in my eyes. Love big watches.

·

Big watches have always looked terrible imo. And I mean big relative to your wrist size.

·

I don't think current watches are small. The massive ones are gone but the median watch on the market is still pretty big relative to the average wrist I'd say.

43-47mm case on an average sized man. I assume 6.75in wrist?

·

Nowadays people who like small watches, call everything above 40mm "big". Depending on the design and lug to lug a 44mm watch can look fine as well. My mean watch size is 42-43mm, but I also like for instance this Casio that has a whopping 47mm 😅.
