Unless you are a giant...

...this is too big for most people.

Friend owns one. I wouldn’t classify him as a giant.

I agree that the wear big, but they are more proportionate than the 41mm version (I’m talking about the LUL to case width ratio)

Everyone thinks they can pull off these giant watches...

...only a very few can... And if the 41mm is just as thick (because the same movement) then it really isn't any more wearable.

Of course...

41mm on 6.75 inch wrist

I tend to favor watches under 40mm, often several mm smaller. But I recently got the 41mm version of this watch, and I think it fits my wrist well. Doesn’t look too big, nor does it feel too thick. And it’s so easy to read compared to many of my watches! ...  

Looks awesome on your wrist.

They're going to run out of space to move the day/date window any closer to the center of the dial!

i am not happy with the dimension

I dont like the back even more. just my personal view. the dial colour is nice nonetheless
