I read the other reviews, um... yes it is big but I think they did that so that ANYONE can fit this watch. All you have to do, like I did is just go to a watch dealer or a jewelry store and they will remove one or two blocks from the bracelet for you to keep of course until it fits you the right way. You can always adjust these. I am surprised these guys didn't think of that. So aside form that, the watch is great. In person, the watch is more shinny like a black steel. It's classy that is for sure. I love the way it looks on my wrist. It matches my black bracelet.
