Brands with bracelets for big hand + normal wrist

My father has really big hands, but a rather regular wrist size. He is not a big watch aficionado, but we started talking about the one I was wearing...

I am also impatiently waiting for my blue Maen (no date version)!  😀

For the longest time, I have not been wearing watches at all, most of the time I just did not like anything on my fingers or my wrist. Also, I have never bought or been gifted a watch for an occasion, I mostly stumbled over watches randomly.

I bought my first watch the at end of the 80s, namely this funny one which sadly does not work any more, the dial was also white at the time. I found the way of telling the time and the slight Moirée effect nice and unique:

The first "real" watch I bought was some year later the following Alpina which must have been too small for my wrist right from the start:

I bought a similarly sized bicolor Tissot Seastar some years later, then some fashion watch and that was it for a long time...

Until I saw this Seiko two years ago and then the madness set in:

I now need to consciously restrain myself from not buying more watches on impulse and I already compiled a list of watches I plan to sell. I now have a much better idea not only of which watches I like, but also which I will be wearing, which is not the same thing.

Thank you very much, but I did not see a lot of watches <= 42mm, in fact only one model which was not for me. They have crazy sizes up to 50mm. But I know someone who likes / needs big watches, I will ask him.

Thanks a lot for the details! I had a really good impression of the watches on their website, too, glad to hear you have had a good experience. Sadly the models with tritium all seem to be on the bigger side. I prefer 38-40mm, althought I can wear some up to 42mm, depending on the lug-to-lug measure. I will definitely look at their other models, too and see if there is another one that I like and fits.

Nice watch and cool that it uses tritium tubes, I love those and have one watch from Ball that has tubes, too as well as another one on the way from Traser. I really like the design of the Aragon watches. Are you happy with your watch / can you tell a bit about it?

This is such a nice watch, it looks quite unique, never seen such a texture on the dial. The texture echoes the form of the indices. Also, interesting color choice. I will look up that brand, never heard about it.

I like Brew watches a lot, but I don't own one. Maybe you can do a little review when you have worn it for a while 😉
