[QUOTE=acce1999;3438557]... because a lot of pictures are made using cell phone cameras, that have wide angle lenses, and are positioned too close to the watch/wrist.

Many people also just wear watches far too large for their wrist - i.e., not at all proportionate to their size. When you have a 6" wrist and the lugs of your 44mm watch extend past your wrist, simply does not look good. Like a child wearing his dad's size 14 shoes. While we often do not comment out of politeness, it does look poor.
