It’s the bezels that ruin it for me. The watch faces, designed for the series 7/8 look terrible with the bezels. They probably could have easily made it bezel-less…but probably leaving that for the Ultra 2.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry but I find the Apple Watch Ultra absolutely ghastly

And? People can wear sport watches with suits. My brother wears a Garmin dive watch into court. Who cares what people wear their watch with.
The bezel gives it strength and ruggedness. I very much doubt you will see an Ultra 2 without one.
I love the way mine looks, so if it’s too ugly to too many people to make it desirable to steal from me on the subway, even better!
It looks good on every YouTuber's hand I've seen it on, including smaller-sized reviewers and women. So, it's a matter of taste - but there are people who like a big watch. It doesn't look bad - but of course, it's a matter of personal preference.
The Reverso is a classic and quite popular with younger people too.
The watch faces designed for the apple watch pretty much look terrible on all of the models regardless of bezel or not. Most of them don't really take advantage of the full screen or give the faces any depth anyway. They are flat and not thought out. The wayfinder is ok, i like some of the Nike faces. I just think they ALL could be much more thought at and branded by apple.
To each their own since fashion (which is the other aspect of Apple Watches) is subjective. However, I find that, while not as sleek-looking as my gold stainless steel Series 7, the look is growing on me and I don’t think that it looks bad at all. It’s just not going to be as good the other stainless models, but that wasn’t its primary focus, anyway…

No, it doesn’t. They are correct. The watch is way too large. It’s simple: if the watch lugs hang over the edges of your wrist, it’s too large for you.
It is completely ridiculous for you to claim what is appropriate for another person unless that person wanted your opinion.
Yes fashion is a set of rules that everyone lives by. Just see the top musical artists, and most of the people on the street for examples of following strict social guidelines for what to wear relative to your body size.
That reminds me I need to get a few pairs of undergarments since the rules say i have to wear my jeans below my buttocks.

Same people that said the first 5" and 6" Samsung phones were too big. Then Apple followed.
Well excuse me for having my own taste and thinking for myself. Next time I’m tempted to do so I’ll send you a message first to check if my opinion is suitable for and in line with the masses. We can’t have anybody having a different opinion in these troubling times.
One of my favorite song lyrics, from the band Senser - "Fashion is something so ugly it has to be changed every 15 minutes".
One thing nice about getting older - I don't give two s***s about fashion, or what anybody else thinks of my choices. Unless they're paying for my wardrobe or I've hired them as a consultant, I couldn't care less about their opinions and I'm really not interested in hearing them.
I get the aesthetic, but it isn't for me. I wouldn't mind a smaller one made for smaller people, but I prefer the clean look of the series 7/8 overall.
^^ This is a fine strawman argument. Advising someone on how objectively to determine fit is not the same thing as telling someone what is appropriate. These are different things. What @Dianneeraser said was very uncontroversial and common advice. As the following article states: "If you want to go big, the general rule of thumb is to select a watch with lugs that do not extend beyond the width of your wrist." This rule of thumb has been around for a long time and offers a way to objectively determine a good fit. So, it is clearly NOT RIDICULOUS but rather GOOD ADVICE.
Now, if someone wants to wear pants that are two sizes too big in the inseam and waist -- that is totally up to them. Maybe some people like to wear roomy clothes like David Byrne from Talking Heads. But that does not mean it fits.

You are mischaracterizing the discussion. Offering a general rule of thumb or offering advice is very different than making a definite statement about another user's preference.
Care to elaborate? They generally look good, they're comfortable, what is it that I'm missing?
