    Yes, same here. I love the way they look in photos, but every time I try one on, they are just don't do it for me. I think they too big.

    Anything ever made by Urwerk or MB&F. Pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking in unique and creative ways.

    And ceramic watches. The fear that hitting the watch at just the right (wrong) angle will shatter the case outweighs all of the positives of ceramic cases. Until I get over that concern I will only admire them from afar.

    Any of the automatic Tunas. I love how they look and find myself always googling pics of them in admiration but feel that a watch of this size is pushing the clownish look for me.

    Although still looks ridiculously large for my conservative taste, the SD Tuna wears noticeably smaller and more comfortable and this would be the one I get. It would be more of an occasional piece and definitely not in rotation with my daily drivers.

    A nice smartwatch. I love gadgets and this is a particularly neat one. I'm partial to Android and have looked at all their options. They have some that really strike my fancy.

    However, the problem (for me) is that a smartwatch wants to be worn everyday to integrate into your lifestyle. I am too fickle to be a one-watch guy. So no smartwatch for me.

    That doesn't sound like a concern worth putting a lot of effort into disacquiring
