Hey Analyst 2 in RE - Comm, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...

You're welcome.
If it's a guy who doesn't know watches, they won't notice or care at all
If it's a guy who does know watches, they'll be excited that you're into them
Regarding if they can be too bulky or masculine, I'd say that just depends on if the watch is too big for your wrists or not in general -- while it's more likely for a watch to be too big insofar as women on average have thinner wrists, I wouldn't say it's a gender issue. It'd be goofy just like it's goofy when skinny guys with thin wrists wear a 47mm Shinola
I think watch companies are wising up to this, and you're seeing less and less gender-specific marketing for many brands or models
Did you have a watch in mind you were worried about?
Omega Seamaster diver 300M, 41mm on a woman’s wrist?
I know plenty of guys it's too big on (which is part of why 39mm divers are picking up so much traction right now), but again if it fits your individual wrist there's nothing against it (and by fit I mean is comfortable / lugs don't overhang your wrists). Maybe you can benchmark vs
adjusting for your wrist circumference vs hersEchoe this sentiment. Watch brands are moving towards designs that are less gender specific and smaller in size. There’s more to the generalization that men’s watched are too bulky and masculine on females. It really depends on wrist size. A male wearing a ‘guys watch’ that is too big for his wrist won’t look appropriate. I personally appreciate a more effeminate and elegant design. The large men’s watches that you might be referring to simply don’t fit my attire, wrist size and in turn don’t fit my personal style and liking. I don’t feel comfortable with larger watches and that’s fine. If a ‘guys watch’ you like fits your wrist size, style, and feels comfortable to you, then definitely rock it!
looks weird to me
tainless steel 41mm datejust with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel thank me later
Not a huge watch person per se, but would wear a white-faced Tag Heuer 41mm to work or interviews sometimes pre-COVID. Never really got noticed much tbh...definitely don't think it was bad looking or anything, just didn't necessarily stand out much. Honestly, unless you're going to wear something more expressive or noticeable (a la Rolex Daytona or Patek Philippe Complicated), I would imagine it'll probably be seen as another piece of jewelry in the eyes of most.
I just wear an Apple Watch now. Never worn anything crazy myself watch-wise.
Lol no kidding. Have considered upping the watch game, but just haven't yet. Plus have other jewelry to think about (i.e. rings)
After reading that I was sure the poster was not even a small watch person. The tag Heuer statement made me question if they can be classified as a person at all…..
I saw a chick rocking a Rolex gmt today and she immediately went from a 7.5 to an 8.5. It’s sexy as hell when chicks know watches
Took the words out of my mouth with the Cartier! Think the ballon is one of the few true unisex watches which looks good on anyone as long as is the right size.
I've seen a few women wearing subs. I find it extremely attractive.
It’s kinda hot
Went on a date with a woman who was wearing an explorer II lastnight and she rocked the hell out of it. Very attractive move imo.
