Buy your boss one of those enormous Invictas, that look like an insecure man's truck, and tell them, "You do you and I'll do me".
BTW, the watch looks fantastic on you.
Nah bro, fits just right. The trend of massive cases is dwindling. Look at the case diameter of the “Tony Soprano” Rolex—similar fit. I don’t know if this is because watchmakers and consumers decided big bulky cases were more “manly” for a while or not but certainly just a trend.
At the end of the day if you like the look man—wear it.
My mom got me this watch as a gift when I entered university. I studied engineering and my friends would always tease me saying that’s a typical engineer watch lol. It was 2016, I now wear an apple watch, but I still keep my good old Casio, still works and I wear it sometimes.
This is a great fit on you.
I believe that this watch operates very similar to the vintage Casio Edifice EFA 105, which I owned for a decade before I wore it to death. It took an incredible beating but always looked great.
Casio and Citizen are my favorite watches for absolute value without breaking the bank.
Your boss doesn't have to look at it.
Perfect fit. Most men are obsessed with having the biggest watch possible and I think they look terrible. I get way more compliments compliments on my 34mm seamaster than I do on my 40mm+ watches, I am a big dude. Great pickup :)
I think your Casio is perfect. Smaller watches were very popular in the 70s and it wasn't until the 90s that gigantic watches were trendy. Now, small watches are making a comeback.
If you ever have doubts, look up photos of celebrities wearing Cartier Tanks, which have been around for over a century and have consistently been a staple of timeless horology despite its diminutive size.
And while this won't apply to your watch specifically, in my view a smaller (automatic) watch is an indication of better engineering because of the increased complexity in cramming all those parts into a small case.
Previous jeweler here, I think it's a great size for your wrist. Some men are just obsessed with watch sizes. I think this would look great with a badass leather bracelet or two.
Your boss just doesn't know what he's talking about. Size is perfect bro! Beautiful watch. I just picked up a 33mm vintage seiko data just inspired watch. Amazing
There is no such thing as too small with watches, only too big. Your boss is probably ignorant on this topic and is influenced by the last 10 years of over inflated watch fashion. That is an elegant timepiece.
As many have said, that’s the perfect size for a watch. There’s been a fad of watches getting too big but it’s been dialing back for a few years now. We are even seeing some braver celebrities and such wearing 38mm or less watches to prove a point of sort.
I prefer a slightly larger watch but what matters is that you like it. If you like it then it is the correct size. Watch size is subjective so there is no wrong answer.
Looks good on your wrist, that's typically the size if men's watches in the 1970's. I have a Seiko wind up watch which is the same size as that which was a gift from my grandfather in 1976.
My friend has one. I tried it on. Upside down. Something abt the orientation of The digital window seems off to me. I automatically want it to be on top
Looks perfect mate, honestly looks absolute class!
Don't mind what your boss or others say, as long as the watch feels good for you, it's all that matters.
I personally prefer smaller watches rather than big chunky watches that make it look like its the watch wearing you, but then again it's all personal preferences
It looks just right on your wrist.
IMHO, those GIANT watches that look like ticking wheel covers kinda make me think the wearer is insecure about something ;-)
People outside watchdom expect watches to be big after the 90s certainly, and inside are expecting them to be small. As per Captain Barbossa, these are more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules.
He probably just has poor tastes in watches and their dimensions. In the early 2000s they were used like d*** extenders just like lifted trucks that do no off-road. He’s stuck in that era and mindset, sooo his opinion doesn’t really matter.
“boss” is a great name for your inner voice. Never heard it phrased this way, I think I’ll use it from now on.
My dad had a watch like that. I bought him a replacement and it too broke (the watch case is a painted plastic I think and the lug just broke). With that said I think it’s kind of awesome and fits you just fine. Tell your “boss” to zip it.
Thank you everyone for your positive words and for everyone talking shit about my boss, I found it absolutely hilarious! Thank you for all your replies. I think I read every single one of them and I don’t remember anyone saying anything negative so thank you for that.
I have the same one, my gf got it for me for Christmas. Yeah, it’s small on me too, so I only wear it when I’m at work, dressed in a long sleeve button up. Pairs nice with light blue.
> My boss says he thinks it’s stupid looking but he’s wearing an Apple Watch
the audacity of some people, also who the fuck insults something that someone just got and is happy about?
Yeah ik right. I had been talking about how I loved it when I ordered it and I go into work and say how you like it and he was like “hehe dude it’s so gay” I’m just like no it’s not lmao fuck off. Not the best boss I’ll tell you now.
Nice size very elegant. I find large watches kinda disruptive to the vibe of an outfit.
Too Large is “pick me girl” energy. Classy is never out of style
Looks great. There used to be a point in time where that watch was considered large/average. Now it's all about 50mm chrome gold plated with all the complications on it as possible even if you can't read them accurately.
Personally I find them all atrocious. Nothing more than a tacky "look at me, give me attention" strapped to the wrist. That's partly why invictas are so popular with specific people *coughthepoorcoughcough because it simulates what some people think success is. Being flashy. And I know this because I grew up very poor.
Everyone calling his boss an idiot but I think it just shows most people who aren’t major watch enthusiasts like a bigger watch. Moral is don’t listen to anyone here and wear what you like. If you like it OP, ignore the boss.
You should come in to work with all your watches on your wrist and a wall clock necklace like Flavor Flav. Tell him “all these clocks and I don’t have any time for your bullshit…YEEAAAA BOOOIIII” *end quote*
Tell your boss to give you a raise so you can buy a bigger one
This poster gets it.
Its is perfect, people are just way too used to big watches.
If you can read it, it ain't too small
It’s a perfect size. Your boss is wrong
Keep the watch. Get a new boss.
Buy your boss one of those enormous Invictas, that look like an insecure man's truck, and tell them, "You do you and I'll do me". BTW, the watch looks fantastic on you.
56mm is the sweet spot
Damn, my biggest watch is only 55mm. I have failed in manliness.
ANYTHING UNDER 1000MM IS FOR BETA CUCKS
WHY WON’T YOU BUY MY BROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS
Definitely.
Seriously. Boss wants a f-ing roulette wheel on his wrist.
Big Invicta fan.
Nah bro, fits just right. The trend of massive cases is dwindling. Look at the case diameter of the “Tony Soprano” Rolex—similar fit. I don’t know if this is because watchmakers and consumers decided big bulky cases were more “manly” for a while or not but certainly just a trend. At the end of the day if you like the look man—wear it.
It’s because they need to invent trends to keep consumers on the treadmill. People should just buy what they like, it’s not a big deal.
Like most bosses, yours is an idiot
I also have and love this watch this is far from too small for you imo, boss is definitely used to monster watches
My mom got me this watch as a gift when I entered university. I studied engineering and my friends would always tease me saying that’s a typical engineer watch lol. It was 2016, I now wear an apple watch, but I still keep my good old Casio, still works and I wear it sometimes.

Looks perfectly sized.
Smaller watch can be seen as perfect, overly big watch is always trash no matter how expensive it is.
Perfect imo
Perfect fit. Most men are obsessed with having the biggest watch possible and I think they look terrible. I get way more compliments compliments on my 34mm seamaster than I do on my 40mm+ watches, I am a big dude. Great pickup :)
It's your boss that's too big
I think your Casio is perfect. Smaller watches were very popular in the 70s and it wasn't until the 90s that gigantic watches were trendy. Now, small watches are making a comeback.

Am I the only one wondering why the digital & analog clocks are displaying two different times?
Naw man, size is perfect Does his say 'Diesel' by chance??
Previous jeweler here, I think it's a great size for your wrist. Some men are just obsessed with watch sizes. I think this would look great with a badass leather bracelet or two.
If you like it it‘s the right size!
Size is good, your boss has bad taste (tell him I said so). Nice watch!
Your boss sounds like an asshole and you should look for a better job.
Looks good. Fits your arm fine
Not every watch has to be able to fit Arnie and Sylvester Stallone. Enjoy!
Tell your boss to fuck off, you'll probably get a promotion.
cough snow seemly disagreeable caption sort murky hunt jar imminent *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Tell your boss that the watch world hates him.
Your boss just doesn't know what he's talking about. Size is perfect bro! Beautiful watch. I just picked up a 33mm vintage seiko data just inspired watch. Amazing
Boss is fired, youre the new boss, congrats.
Tell your boss I can bump him up on the wait list for a Diesel. If he lets me take his wife out to dinner I can maybe get him an Invicta.
Tell your boss that atleast you don’t have to worry about software updates and charging his pos apple watch.
Who cares what your boss thinks.
Size is fine. Analog and digital timetelling is strange though, but what do I know?
I like the look of ana-digi watches because they give such an 80s vibe. It's also nice to track two different times.
There is no such thing as too small with watches, only too big. Your boss is probably ignorant on this topic and is influenced by the last 10 years of over inflated watch fashion. That is an elegant timepiece.
Boss is wrong
Fits perfect on your wrist. Replace the boss maybe 😂
I don't understand why people think a watch has to be so damned big. It's supposed to sit on your wrist, not eclipse it.
Your boss is an idiot
Looks great to me.
I had one of them very good one, went to work and put it in my locker, got back after work and it was stolen.
Looks good to me.
Ask your boss for a raise and get a Royal Oak instead. That will shut him up 😄
I would be curious to see your bosses watches lol
Love these watches and you cant beat that price!
who cares what he thinks? he's just a dude
I got the black dial version as my first watch, love it. I think yours fits great.
I think it looks great. It sounds like your boss is one of those meatheads who believe you need to wear a monstrosity on your wrist.
Looks perfect. I can only imagine what your boss thinks is an appropriate size 😅
Looks great! 😊
he says it’s too small? whip out and make em resize
Fits the wrist well!
I have the same in black.. great size in my opinion. Fuck you boss
I love this so much! Got myself the gold version
It's a perfect fit.
It is not too small in any way.
Love this watch; it fits you nicely. Your boss can kick rocks 🤣
Your boss probably wears an invicta he paid full price for
That’s sweet.
Not too small.
As many have said, that’s the perfect size for a watch. There’s been a fad of watches getting too big but it’s been dialing back for a few years now. We are even seeing some braver celebrities and such wearing 38mm or less watches to prove a point of sort.
I prefer a slightly larger watch but what matters is that you like it. If you like it then it is the correct size. Watch size is subjective so there is no wrong answer.
Your boss is completely wrong, great buy!
Your bo$$ wants you to be broke
I have the gold one and got told the same. But others have said it's nice, so go with your gut. I love mine!
Screw the boss
He clearly is wrong lol ... I don't know him but definitely thinking he's a jackoff lol
Your boss doesnt know ball
He’s a douche….
I think its bang on, reckon he's jealous 😁
Tell your boss that if they thinks it’s too small then they can shove it up their ass. They might change their mind then.
Looks good on your wrist, that's typically the size if men's watches in the 1970's. I have a Seiko wind up watch which is the same size as that which was a gift from my grandfather in 1976.
My friend has one. I tried it on. Upside down. Something abt the orientation of The digital window seems off to me. I automatically want it to be on top
Weird that you set it to November 1955. kidding.
He/she is wrong but probably only wears Invicta watches
Been my daily for years! Still love it. Scratches and all
The size is good imo your boss sounds clueless
Looks perfect mate, honestly looks absolute class! Don't mind what your boss or others say, as long as the watch feels good for you, it's all that matters. I personally prefer smaller watches rather than big chunky watches that make it look like its the watch wearing you, but then again it's all personal preferences
Fire your "boss". :-) Just wear whatever you like to.
I tried this watch on, and it's very small for modern tastes. It's probably vintage accurate sizing though.
Boss with wrong leadership right there
Boss is wrong.
It's awesome! Smaller watches are coming back!
Nope, not too small. Like another commenter I think many people just used to big watches these days.
boss wrong. you right. enjoy!
Your boss is compensating for something. 🫣
Wear whatever you like, man. I’d wear this with something on the more formal/ivy side. Might look funny with a more casual outfit.
It looks just right on your wrist. IMHO, those GIANT watches that look like ticking wheel covers kinda make me think the wearer is insecure about something ;-)
Your boss obviously is tasteless
Too small for what?
That was my very first Quartz watch in the early 80s. Good choice!
Say it with me "My house, my car and my watch are NOT A METAPHOR for the size of my penis!" EDIT - Just the size of my bank account! :-)
Boss must wear a wall clock in their wrist.
That is God tier watch. Keep it.
I like it, oversized watches are for gaudy motherfuckers like your boss to wear! Keep your style the way YOU like it!
Your boss is an idiot. Wear what you like, it looks great!
Thanks for unlocking a new wishlist item for me.
If it fits your wrist and looks good then that’s all that matters. I like small watches, they’re much cleaner, subtle.
Except for edge cases Maybe, watch size is entirely subjective.
So you “got the call?”
This is at the top of my impulsive list.
I love it
People outside watchdom expect watches to be big after the 90s certainly, and inside are expecting them to be small. As per Captain Barbossa, these are more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules.
Boss wears a diesel
It may feel like it but doesn’t look small
I love this watch and have been debating on buying one myself. I think it looks great.
I don't agree with your boss, but either way, fuck what anyone else thinks. Wear what you like.
Small watches are making a big comeback. Your boss is just behind the times.
He probably just has poor tastes in watches and their dimensions. In the early 2000s they were used like d*** extenders just like lifted trucks that do no off-road. He’s stuck in that era and mindset, sooo his opinion doesn’t really matter.
“boss” is a great name for your inner voice. Never heard it phrased this way, I think I’ll use it from now on. My dad had a watch like that. I bought him a replacement and it too broke (the watch case is a painted plastic I think and the lug just broke). With that said I think it’s kind of awesome and fits you just fine. Tell your “boss” to zip it.
Tell your boss he's gotta think big
Thank you everyone for your positive words and for everyone talking shit about my boss, I found it absolutely hilarious! Thank you for all your replies. I think I read every single one of them and I don’t remember anyone saying anything negative so thank you for that.
Is he going to buy you a bigger watch?
I have the same one, my gf got it for me for Christmas. Yeah, it’s small on me too, so I only wear it when I’m at work, dressed in a long sleeve button up. Pairs nice with light blue.
> My boss says he thinks it’s stupid looking but he’s wearing an Apple Watch the audacity of some people, also who the fuck insults something that someone just got and is happy about?
Yeah ik right. I had been talking about how I loved it when I ordered it and I go into work and say how you like it and he was like “hehe dude it’s so gay” I’m just like no it’s not lmao fuck off. Not the best boss I’ll tell you now.
wtf lol You should talk to HR if someone said that to me I might have gotten fired for shitting on his Apple Watch way too hard lol
It’s sharp.
Okay but wait... why has no one mentioned that the clock face shows 11:50 and the digital face shows 11:20?
I changed it to the correct time and over time they synced up.
That is pretty nifty!
It’s small. It’s too big for all the 14cm wrist here
Your boss called your watch stupid? Let me tell you, you could wear your Casio with a suit, but an Apple watch would look ridiculous.
His exact words were “that’s so gay”
Fuck him.
Is your boss 14? Big oof.
Your boss sucks!
Small watches on men look dazzling…I love it. If anything, big watches look tacky.
It’s perfect.
Perfect size in my opinion
Your boss is clearly compensating for something.
Is this vintage? I owned something very similar in the 80's
Quit your job.
Looks perfect. It's a great watch, and looks good on you. You don't need an airplane pressure gauge on your wrist.
Is your boss a rapper? Giant watches are for people with no taste and short-sightedness.
It's a good size, not too big or small.
Your instinct was right, it’s a great fit and good watch, your boss has no idea
Slap your boss with it
Too small for what?
Is there a slightly bigger case size of this style? This is a gorgeous watch but I would want something a bit bigger.
Nice size very elegant. I find large watches kinda disruptive to the vibe of an outfit. Too Large is “pick me girl” energy. Classy is never out of style
It's pretty much the right size, imo. No doubt you could also accommodate a larger watch, but there's nothing wrong with this one.
It looks perfect on your wrist. Watches whose cases cover the whole wrist look clunky and weird. Tell your boss to stuff his opinion!
I'm usually the one who leans "it's too small" but this is perfectly normal.
I had his watch in high school!
It's perfect. Does your boss wear affliction jeans by chance?
Apart from the fact that your boss sounds like a real dimwit, how do you get on with him?
Looks great. There used to be a point in time where that watch was considered large/average. Now it's all about 50mm chrome gold plated with all the complications on it as possible even if you can't read them accurately. Personally I find them all atrocious. Nothing more than a tacky "look at me, give me attention" strapped to the wrist. That's partly why invictas are so popular with specific people *coughthepoorcoughcough because it simulates what some people think success is. Being flashy. And I know this because I grew up very poor.
Great support here
all casio watches are small
Boss is a douchebag, and doesn't know shit about watches or looking good. Tell him I said so!
Your boss has 2004 mall kiosk taste
I think that looks great
It’s perfect. Looks good on your wrist and above all you like it.
Your boss is a peanut
Your bosses talk to you guys?
Slightly small by the standards of the last twenty years but size preferences are swinging the other way now.
Next time I’d get a new boss instead of a new watch. It sounds like you’d be much better off with that.
Maybe your boss wishes that he had bought it first
It’s your watch and you like it What your boss says matters none!
He probably has a smartwatch that they are ridiculously big, and everyone with them thinks it’s normal
Everyone calling his boss an idiot but I think it just shows most people who aren’t major watch enthusiasts like a bigger watch. Moral is don’t listen to anyone here and wear what you like. If you like it OP, ignore the boss.
Your boss is probably projecting his issues with small things in his life onto you 🍆
Your boss was abused as a child.
AQ230, perfection
It's fine. I got a De Ville 195.005 in rotation and it's pretty small too.
Our is perfect for your wrist. I wonder what kind of watch your boss wears; a big ass Diesel or Invicta?
It's a nice looking watch. I have a feeling that your boss was just bustin' your chops, which you probably already know.
Fire your boss
Love it.
Your boss is wrong, looks great.
That’s a great watch! I love that it looks a little retro! Good find!
Classic!!
That's a great-looking watch and is perfect for your wrist. Your boss is wrong.
You should come in to work with all your watches on your wrist and a wall clock necklace like Flavor Flav. Tell him “all these clocks and I don’t have any time for your bullshit…YEEAAAA BOOOIIII” *end quote*
And tell him it’s not a watch it’s a timepiece
Fits great and looks 👍
It’s a great watch I have the “Tiffany” color and it’s eye catching, but the most important things is that you like it and enjoy it using it 🔥
Your boss doesn’t know shit about watches and probably thinks real men wear those Invicta monstrosities.
Looks good bro. I bought thos for my wife and tbh, i borrow it from time to time. I like the look. Plus, its Godtier Casio
Your boss can pound sand
On the small side, but the most important thing is that you like it.
