It's size is appropriate for my wrist as well. Good quality wear gives pride of ownership.
Always wanted one but ended up going with the Omega Seamaster Professional - James Bond model. Scuba is my passion, so this was a lifestyle choice. Having said that, my best friend from high school is a retired NASA astronaut. For that reason I still want one in my collection.

I do like the Seamaster a lot. It's one of my favorites along with the Rolex Submariner and the IWC Portuguese. My taste in timepieces tend to run somewhat toward simple and elegant.

No one mentioned AP. Love mine but to be honest I rarely ever wear a watch anymore at all. For hiking and running it's the iwatch and maybe the Ap or a Rolex for a nice dinner or a vegas trip. Debating selling them off but I never do.
