Looks fine to me.

 

Thanks, good to hear!

 

Seems perfectly fine to me, plus the super short lugs on this case shape, as it often happens with Seiko, help a lot.

 

Yes, the reason I decided to give these a try was the reasonable lug to lug. However, I still wasn't sure if it's too big. It's my first dive watch you see.

 

What size is your wrist? The shorter lug-to-lug makes it look wearable.

 

My wrists are 6 1/4 inches. Yes, the shorter lug to lug means it doesn't exceed my wrist (just about), but the 45 case is pretty big.

 

Looks great! Perfectly acceptable.

 

Good to hear!

 

Looks fine

 

Thank you

 

All good, enjoy it!

 

Thank you

 

It looks fine as a diver's watch. However, only you can decide whether it is suitable for day-to-day wear.

 

Thanks, I'm definitly trying to go for a proper diver's watch look and I do like it, but I also don't want it to look laughable in front of anyone that is knowledgable about watches.

 

it fits fine

 

My usual barometer for size is whether or not the lugs overhang your wrist. As long as the lugs aren't sticking out, you're good to go.

The Turtle is an extremely wearable 45mm because of the short lugs.

 

Yeah that’s what I was hoping for, I knew it wouldn’t be sticking out but wasn’t sure if it would still be consider too big. Good to hear anyway

 

I agree with the others, it looks perfectly fine at proper viewing distance.

Cool that you already knew about the problem with close-up wrist shots. It's exactly like you say and I think your first picture illustrates the problem very well.

Having said that, the Seiko turtle case just adds a lot of visible surface. Is that what you wanted? If you chose it just for its short L2L, maybe a different case shape would look smaller despite having slightly longer lugs.

 

Yes the dial does look very big. I was considering the Mini Turtle as well because I like the turtle look. However, even though the case size is good, the even short lug to lug of 43mm just felt too small for what I wanted out of a dive watch.

 

Looks great! Not overpowering but definitely has presence. I have two King Turtles myself. Solid choice, I hope you keep it and enjoy it!

 

Me too, I was adamant about it, even considered the mini turtle, although that one was a bit too small for my liking, i’d rather a bit big than a bit small for a dive watch.

 

You’ll get used to it quickly, it will feel big and you’ll be self-conscious for a day or two. But it looks great!

 

I’m think so, I never had such a big watch before.

 

It's a dive watch and they are not support to wear smaller.

 

Short lugs looks good to me

 

Looks just right to me, that's about the ratio I like on my watches.

 

I think the watch looks perfectly fine. Don’t worry about the size, enjoy your new watch!!!

 

Borderline, but fine.

 

That’s what I was thinking too, just wasn’t sure if it crossed that line

 

With the short lugs not standing off your wrist and nice curvature, looks fine to me.

 

It'll feel better once you adjust the bracelet and make it a wee bit looser. Enjoy your new watch.

 

Thanks, I will try rubber straps as well, I think it’ll help make it look smaller as a whole and also lighter.

 

Looks good to my eye!

 

Look fine, mate. Enjoy.

 

Very proportional to your wrist in my opinion. Has presence, but does not look humongous. Wear it in good health!

 

Looks good. If you like the watch, keep it.

 

Thanks, i think i will.

 

Perfect. Would not look as good if it was smaller.

 

Fits. But barely.

 

I think so too, as long as it’s doesn’t look ridiculous I’m fine with it a bit big.
