IMO it's too big - you asked.

But OTOH if you're going for the new "Big Watch" look then it's totally fine. That DSSD is rather small compared what people wear these days.

Enjoy it and stop second guessing yourself!

Yes
My wrist is bigger and it doesn’t sit well on mine either.

It looks big, but in a good way. It's a big watch, after all. You carry it well!

It looks big, and that large gap in your second to last photo says it doesn't fit. Could be poorly sized or it could be your wrist shape.

It's a big, bold, extraordinary timepiece. You wear it well - it looks wonderful!

I think you're fine, the thickness looks out of proportion on pretty much anyone, so for this watch isn't the litmus by any means. Keep rocking it!

I would constantly be banging that into things so I guess it would not work for me. In other words, seems a bit top heavy.

I think you pull it off, knowing that it is large, above-average sized watch to begin with.

That being said, I have a hard time seeing anyone below 7" pull this off well. I am around 6.75" and can't imagine what this thing would look like on my wrist.

Looks like you can pull it off just fine. Looks like it's a bit too loose, though. But, maybe that's how you like to wear it.

Enjoy it! Congratulations!

Cheers,
Carl
