Big watch face, need some help.
Hey All,
Looking at getting a new watch and wanting to find a watch with a big watch face and the leather band being thick. I have big wrists and small watches look smaller on my wrist. Had the bigger Apple Watch screen before but returned it after a week because it looked funny on my wrist. I have two Express watches that have big faces but are showing their age. Any help / links would be great! Not looking at breaking the bank with the watch purchase. Thank you, Jeff

Appreciate all of the help. My current express watch face is 56mm. I am looking to a little bigger to be honest. Maybe something in the 60mm range.
Thanks!

The inside is just as much fun. Worst value for money watch; very simple movement for the money: ($5k+ watch with eta2824-2 and the rest is movement ring )

In the end every 60mm watch will have a large movement ring as all movements are way smaller, or a movement of a clock has to be fitted
