I new it would be a big watch when I ordered it. But this thing is huge. I can't imagine any one being able to wear it with out taking out links. I got it about 2 weeks ago and have not taken the protective film off because I don't know if I will keep it. I will need to remove about 8 links to get it to fit. My wrist are small at 7"
  It is a nice sturdy watch and is very attractive. The quality appears good and it has a very nice feel. It is just a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

 PS . The size is starting to grow on me though.
