Is this too big? (some photo advice)

Sorry if this is obvious to some, but I see threads with people posting a photo of a wristshot asking if it looks too big, most of the time it does, but not because the watch is too big, it's because the photo wasn't taken well.

Excuse the poor quality of these shots, i just did them quickly to demonstrate.

If you take your wrist shot with your phone with the standard lens, the watch will likely look too big, if you have a relatively new phone with lens options, choose the longest one, eg the 'x2', and if you don't care about the quality of the shot and are really just doing it to test the size of the watch, zoom in so it is more like x4, this will give a more natural and realistic look on how the watch fits. The key is the distance the phone/camera is from the watch.

Here are three shots, taken on an iPhone 11 pro max at x1, x2 and zoomed to x4 respectively.

People always comment on the lugs hanging over the wrist, well look, same watch, same wrist..

So remember, get that camera a good distance from your wrist, and zoom in if needed.
