There's no picture because I sold the uncomfortable ones.

LOL. Same here.

 

Of my good watches, I'd have to say my Ananta.

Two things about it. It may just be my wrist size, but I am totally in between two links. Either too loose or too tight. And second, it's an extremely heavy watch.

But I wouldn't say it's that uncomfortable. It's a noticeable step down from my Omega and Grand Seiko (and Citizen Signature Grand Complication) though.

I have less comfortable cheap watches, but they don't seem worth mentioning.

 

Putting a leather strap on that watch might reduce some weight (same as in the white dial variant). I like this dial very much and still haven't pulled the trigger on it. Double retrograde are the only ones I like from Ananta automatic collection. Nice watch though!

 

I still wear it as its one of only 3 watches I own so far.

 

This bad boy never lets you forget that it is on your wrist. At least it's 50mm sized case and heavy weight on a 7" wrist makes it's presence known throughout the day. But somehow I still love the Beast, and put up with the discomfort.

This one too is just too big for my wrist, but if it has to be a digital watch; I reach for it over and over again.

 

Lol, the Japanese not off to a strong start here.

 

MY SKX007 was by far the most uncomfortable watch I'd ever owned, until I "curved" the OEM rubber strap. Now it's great!

 

Sold mine, too. No watch face trumps discomfort.

 

Not horrible but the sharp edges of the bracelet slightly graze my skin. Looks fantastic and I'll put up with it.

I would file down the edges slightly by using a emery board. Run the emery board at a 45 degree angle to the bracelet, so that you're only filing down the edges of the bracelet.

 

I have a Navitimer than came on the stock strap. I then came across a Brietling mesh bracelet, but with curved ends that integrate to the case, and I though the look was amazing - I'm obviously a strap guy, but I have a soft spot for fantastic bracelets, and have had a good experience with a 'shark' style mesh bracelet on a different watch. I quickly paid the almost $500 for it.

Big mistake. It looked amazing, and did nothing but pluck hairs from my wrist constantly. It was too annoying to put up with, and ended up doing what I should have done in the first place - scrap the stock strap, and make one myself for it. Now the watch and I are in love again.

Shame, as it really was a nice bracelet.

So, not exactly an uncomfortable 'watch', but the combo was awful.

 

My Meteorite Ocean Ghost can be a little uncomfortable. I can't sleep with it on that's for sure!

 

You have to be careful when you get square cased watches, they seem much bigger than their counterparts in round, oval or any other shape. This, as most things, I learned the hard way........the good news is that it is LNIB on my shelf...LOL....

That not only looks uncomfortable, but dangerous too! I don't think I'd ever be able to walk past a door or crawl through a window without catching it on at least one thing. I'd have to say that my most uncomfortable watch is my Speedmaster. The head is a bit long, big and flat for my wrist and like CitizenM, I'm constantly in-between bracelet links. It's nothing major, but the sum total of all this is that it never sits quite right on my wrist.

If it wasn't weirdly (if peripherally) tied to my wedding and/or if my wife didn't like it so much (it's one of the few I have that she does like) and...I guess...if it wasn't such a classic too I'd probably have sold it by now.

 

I've sold all my uncomfortable watches. Of the ones that remain, my Citizen "Ray Mears" on its bracelet can be uncomfortable. The center links are actually hollow (outer links are solid) so the bracelet can get into weird angles and sometimes even grab hair. first bracelet I've ever had that can pinch arm hair, but fortunately it doesn't happen often.

 

Don't have a wrist shot, but here is a pic. The bracelet pulls my hairs. I like the watch for its looks and the technology, but the real reason I'll never part with it is because it was a gift from my wife.

 

I wonder what it is with Japanese watches that seem to make them more likely to show up here.

 

Maybe it is the hair pulling thing. Most Japanese people dont have bear arms like some of us do.

 

Drank too much Kool-Aid

 

Mine was a Parnis homage to the Bell & Ross BR01. Square case, 46mm. It slopped around and pushed into my wrist bone often, and just looked horrible on the wrist. No pictures remain of the beast.

 

I have a two way tie between the Breiting Avenger Skyland and the B&R BR02. Next in line may surprise many but the DSSD flat case just cannot work on my round wrist, but the standard Sub works just fine.

 

my 1st and last watch with rubber.

 

 

I have never bought a watch I haven't seen or tried on. This limits my choices (in terms of manufacturers, models and discounts) but I never buy uncomfortable watches either!

 

Ticino 44mm Big Pilot. The diamond crown kept on digging into my wrist and had caused massive discomfort. The watch was basically unwearable.

 

 

Thank god there's not diamond crested OVERSIZED watch back then..

The citizen and fossile because of the size of the case, the ecozilla is worst because of the hulk rubber straps.

the seiko because of the old bracelet, it pull arm hair like a trimmer

 

Monster, feels too heavy for my tastes, removing bracelet helped a bit.
