Surprisingly wearable!

I'm like you. But I've tried that watch a couple of times and found it eminently wearable (though I haven't ended up springing for one). It's so short lug to lug with such flat shape at the lugs that it covers less wrist than most 44s would. And it's quite light in titanium. 


Sadly, the Defy Extreme is a different story--it's officially only 1mm bigger but it felt a LOT bigger. That one is just too big for this 16cm wrist.

How wearable is the Defy El Primero 21

The 44m size is way bigger than what I would usually go for but the ceramic black bracelet and chronograph combo are awesome enough to overlook that… Anyone have first hand experience with them?

But I've seen the black ceramic--it's looks very sharp, and/but pretty shiny, which, for a black watch, is not to my taste.
