It’s funny because I’m the opposite. Have a 6.5" wrist and while I love some smaller watches, there are a plethora of cool designs and pieces I want, but can’t wear because they’re 42-46mm.

Its the cyclops on it that just doesn’t do it for me. Conceptually, the rotating compass bezel is interesting, but the whole case shape feels weird and disjointed.

Miniature seconds wheel looks tacky to me. I know Nomos gets a lot of love, but personally I am not a fan at all. Having a sweeping or ticking seconds hand it quintessential watch aesthetic to me. It’s the visual heartbeat of the watch. I love dial complications like date, moon phase, day, etc, but they should be visually secondary to the main watch face. By having the a small seconds hand being the only active thing on the watch face, it distracts from the rest of the watch. A full seconds hand draws the eye over the whole watch instead.

Still sees the most wrist time out of my collection. Swap up the strap every so often to match what I’m doing, easy to dress up and down. Love the watch, sharp, easily legible, looks nice without looking too fancy.

In your definition, it’s a combination of jewelry and accessory to me. Not really a fan of smart watches and try to minimize time on my phone. I find a mechanical watch both pleasing to look at and functional.

I have a few different watches I’ll wear depending on what I’m wearing and/or what I’m doing. While there is a utility aspect to my choice. Wouldn’t wear a dress watch when doing something that requires me to work with my hands, and sometimes it’s convenient to have a rotating bezel to time things when I’m multitasking. Could I use my phone for time and timer functions? Sure, but in general, I find whole reaching into your pocket and taking out your phone bothersome and too close to also checking notifications and other crap, when all I needed was the time/date.

The other side of my watch choice is that of jewelry. I choose what to wear because I think it looks good, and enjoy it adding more to my outfit. I often enjoy just looking at my watch on my wrist as well to amire it. I find the sweeping seconds hand, and sometimes other complications, very pleasant to just watch tick a way for a little bit. A watch is a piece of art, and marvel of craftsmanship and engineering. I love seeing it all come together in such a small device.
