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?

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?

If you like it then it's perfectly sized

This is the only correct answer

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

No, it is not too big.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

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?
