I’m 6’6 with large hands and it’s too big for even me! Honestly not sure who this watch was made for.
I've just purchased this Casio G-Shock AWG-M100SB-2AER watch. Although not a 'traditional' watch perhaps, I really like it nonetheless. It's not a ridiculous size like many G-Shock watches and it looks elegant - I think - with the dark blue dial. The time is kept via radio control signals so should always be pretty much bang on. As well as looking the part it also has tonnes of other functions - many of which I'll probably rarely use! - like world time, stopwatch, timer etc.

Very elegant and well wear.
I’ve had so many watches during my lifetime.
Mt two favorite standard watches have been Seiko diving watches as they traveled all over many places in the world and accompanied me on all my scuba dives. They have many great memories attached to them.
Currently I pretty much exclusively use my AppleWatch. It’s a launch day issue. I don’t do anything fancy with it but in a single display it gives me the information I am most looking for. I have some cognitive issues and it helps keep me centered. I do like the built-in "Breath" app.

I'm looking forward to reading detailed reviews of each of these exceedingly elegant timepieces.
Just delivered. Panerai 299
Nice looking watch but it is positively enormous.
I've seen them 'in the wild', and, while I know that current taste runs to massive things, my own preference runs to something somewhat smaller.
But well wear.
It’s “only” 44mm, but the case is imposing. Also, big numbers are easier on old eyes. LOL
Big numbers and ageing eyes, yes, I fully understand (and sympathise with) that argument.
Well wear - it is an elegant and well proportioned piece. And yes, imposing, as you say.
As I get older (late 50s), I increasingly prefer my watches uncomplicated and easy to read.
Agree with your preference for plain, unadorned and legible dials.
That, and classic elegant understatement, are what make a good watch to me.
Eliminated a few pieces from the collection, and added this one yesterday.
Beautiful. And well wear. A truly lovely classic design.
Actually, your watch is very similar to my Omega Deville, except that mine has Arabic numerals at the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 slots, rather than Roman numerals at the quarters.
Bought this watch specifically for Scribe. 
IWC Big Pilot Top Gun Perpetual Calendar Boutique Edition 48mm. It’s massive, even by my standards. It’s pretty comfortable though and relatively light since it’s ceramic.
44mm Doppel Chrono and 40mm Daytona for reference.

Gorgeous, but massive. Too large for me, but lovely for those who can wear it comfortably.
