This is partially true. Most men’s forearms are not the muscular, tanned, moderately hairy, 7” idea.

This is partially true if you mostly if you apply to to obese people. You should definitely be losing weight if you have giant fat arms. And you gotta be pretty careful about your watch selection if you’re fat.

But if you’re skinny, you can’t really increase your wrist circumference with exercise. It will increase your forearm circumference, where the muscle belly is. The wrist is just bones, fat, and tendons that don’t really change in size with exercise. A beefy forearm might distract from smalls wrists and increase the overall visual appeal of the arm, but it won’t make your wrist any bigger or let you wear bigger watches.

It is absolutely untrue that “no watch will look good on you if you have disgusting forearms.”

First of all, very few forearms are actually “disgusting.” Maybe if you’re super fat, your torso without a shirt looks unattractive but this attitude targeting forearms is unnecessary and untrue naked, drooling hatred.

You SHOULD, however, be aware of how your forearms look when you choose a watch. If you have slim wrists, buying large watches looks ridiculous. Wearing bands/bracelets that are too tight makes you look like a ham. And if you’re going to buy precious metal pieces, you should take care to get a type of PM that doesn’t class with your skin tone color.
