So I bought the Timex Easy Reader after some research and got it for really cheap, but I have never worn any watch so I don't know if it's too big?

If you like it then it's perfectly sized

This is the only correct answer

I’d say it depends what look you are going for. For a classic dress watch, I’d consider it a bit too big. For a more leisure or sporty look it’s just on the upper limit but OK if you like your watch to be more prominent.

But that’s just my personal opinion - If you like it, what’s wrong with that?

In general, if it isn't uncomfortable to wear it is not too big.

Looks just right to me. But I am just a regular person.

Looks perfect!

Nice, I dunno about too big. Looks like a sweet watch to me.

No, it is not too big.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Looks fine.

I'd even go bigger if I was you, but I like a big chunky watch.

I've got a Garmin 5x and a Citizen Navihawk. Neither are small

No, your wrist is too small for the watch. The watch is fine.

I want to see it with a sleeve. I don't know if that means anything.

And the six is too big while the 12 is too small.

Hmm. I don't see it. To my eyes they look like the same font size. It's it maybe because 12 is two digits while 6 is just one?
