SD43 is not so big.....

Just got the SD43 sized and on my wrist today

The matt dial is great because the reflection from the crystal is not so distracting.

Anyway it doesn't look so large when one compares it to what I've been wearing the last week (56mm Casio).

The SD43 isn't really that big in the watch world today
And even if there's a trend back towards smaller watches, the SD43 will still be fine

My god that G-shock looks massive! Personally I think 42-43 mm is the perfect size watch then again I'm sporting almost 8" of wrist

I agree. Even the D Blue is small next to my G-Shock

Definitely not too big - quite the opposite! I'm eagerly anticipating trying one on

Congratulations. I think the SD43 might be the perfect size for me. I have been wearing mine almost non-stop for 6 days and have become very accustomed to the size. The bracelet is great in the 22mm size also. I am also running plus one second total for 6 days. Needless to say I am very impressed.
