It may sit awkwardly on some wrists as every wrist is different. I can’t argue that but luckily for me it sits nicely. Also, it sits in at 12.6mm thick - hardly call that “way too thick” when the SubC comes in at 13mm and the PO 2500 comes is at 14.5mm.

Just as a side note, from experience, the smaller a watch is the thicker it looks optically. So the new BB58 is only 0.7mm thinner but 2mm smaller in diameter, so may still give an appearance as being thick. Don’t be fooled by pics (see my BBN ETA below). I’m not saying I don’t like the new BB58, but I’ll be holding on to mine till I see the new BB58 in the metal first.

Strokes for different folks!
