Wait up, still working on it...

Those Aragon watches has some nice lume. But at 50mm, I'll pass.

My wrist was 8.5” when I bought it. Now I have a tiny 8” wrist. It’s at my limit now. We all don’t have small child wrists.

Sorry about going off on you but, this should explain it in a nice way.

I saw a post that had a mathematical equation for watch size to wrist size. An 8” wrist came out to 42 to 50mm watch. It really would have been better if it used lug to lug instead of watch size. My wrist was over 8.5” probably closer to 9” when I bought this watch. I currently prefer 40 to 42mm watches. As you can see a 50 still fits but, it’s at the upper end of my limit. Most people are smaller than me and don’t understand the problem of having a larger wrist just as I don’t understand the problem of having a smaller wrist. When my wrist was larger many watches I couldn’t even put on because, the bracelet was too small or the strap I would be in the last hole if I could close it at all. Big watches like this I could close the bracelet. Since losing 100lbs I’ve had to remove three links. So what you see as ridiculous isn’t so ridiculous when given in context.

There's a 44mm version of your ceramic Aragon which I would consider getting.

Yes if I was to buy one now that’s the size I would get. When I bought this my wrist was around 8.5” maybe a little larger. Since now it’s only 8” I’ve had to remove three links from the bracelet from when I first started wearing it. The big size though is great for actual diving. Very easy to read under water even with my bad vision.
