I wear a 36mm vintage Rolex that belonged to my dad, and I can read it easily without my glasses. Back then, it was the standard for a sportier watch. I'm not kidding when I say I will NOT be one of those people who always looks at a phone. you miss so much when you do.

During the January Gold Rush, they had a nice big watch and I ordered it. Never shipped out. I was bummed as they were sold out. Few months later I happened to see it back and called. They gave me the watch at Gold Rush prices, free shipping.

I LOVE it. I wear it as a piece of jewelry obviously because I just realized out shopping this week it was on DST or whatever it is. Wrong hour!!!

I like big watches, but I DON'T like big, thick watch cases. My preference is Skagen because their watch cases are so slim and streamlined. One of my favorites is actually a Men's rectangular.

I've worn a man's watch for ages. It's not the only watch I own, but I love it.

I have a small wrist and prefer smaller watches. I haven't had a problem finding them. Don't depend on QVC to supply all your needs. Look around in stores or online. I wear a simple Timex most days.

I don't like the look of big watches at all.

Whether I like a large watch of not depends on the color, material, and general look. Some are fun and I've been enjoying the options by collecting a variety of sizes.

Me too free.

I do have to say I prefer the larger faces, though. I don't care for the tiny "lady-like" style at all. They just look dated to me.

I wear a watch every single day, and have some huge current ones and huge ones from the '70's. Love 'em all!

Large faces are so much easier to read but if you have small, bony wrists they can be awkward and uncomfortable.

For dress I still wear a dainty gold watch I received for a special birthday MANY years ago. Whether or not it is in style does not affect whether or not I will wear it.

I'm in the minority, but I think the big watches are a trend that will change out in a year or two.
