Just bought a Seiko Arnie. Will it be too big?

It is a large watch,but I put in the same watch type category as the G-Shocks.

They're big because they're supposed to be. 

Mine on a 7 1/4 inch wrist

Thanks, and great pic. Looks nice, and seems to fit you well. 

Too big for my comfort zone but if you like it, they wear very well from all I have seen. 

No one makes a big watch look good on a smaller wrist like Seiko. I'm sure it will look great. My wrist is just a smidge under 7" and the Arnie is definitely a watch I'd grab if I saw a good deal.

Exactly. They're begging to be big. With a shorter lug-to-lug compared to G-Shocks, I think Arnie wears a bit better on a slender wrist.

I have never ventured out of 42mm… until I tried an Arnie which is 48mm. I think then lug to lug is 52(?) and with a little Seiko magic I’m sure it will look fine in your wrist. it has changed my opinion of large watches and it led me to getting a Panerai. For reference I have a 7.5” wrist.

Thanks everyone, for the comments. 

Well, the big boy arrived today. It wears about like I hoped. Big, but with a very reasonable lug to lug. The biggest problem to me is the height of it. But yes, it is quite wearable. 

I am very impressed with its comfort. The strap is nice and soft, and it’s very light on the wrist. I wore it this afternoon and at times, forgot I had a watch on at all. 

Overall I’m very pleased with it. I won’t be saying hasta la vista to this one anytime soon, and I’m sure I’ll be back for more Seikos very soon.

obligatory "It's not a TUNA" in an Arnie voice comment.

Tuna sandwich?

I have the PADI Arnie snj027 and I have a 7.5 inch wrist. It's a big beast of a watch but magically it gets smaller the more you wear it.

I would say to go for it and wear it proudly! The "Arnie" is supposed to be a big bold watch and I love wearing my SNJ025 around.

Looks great! I'm wearing the Arnie today, and will do a write-up on it tonight.
