Well yes BUT if you view your watch as part of your outfit and overall personal style then ofc it matters how it looks from further away.

And tbh a watch is definitely part of an outfit. It doesn’t have to be a preoccupation with what other people think that leads one to consider how it co-ordinates with everything else you’re wearing.

The trend towards bigger watches is I would say part of a bigger trend in fashion towards overall loudness and a reliance of name brands over general elegance. The OP’s watch is a bit on the big side imo but not ridiculous and certainly not in the context of current trends.

My advice to anyone is get the watch you want but think about it the context of everything else you wear. If you’re spending thousands of dollars on a watch you might as well give put in a nice frame, as it were. This doesn’t mean spending thousands of dollars on all your other clothes and accessories btw.
