Default I got the time, bitch!

Do people really wear watches this big? WTF..... And I like how it's supposed to be a dive watch but the hands are skinny and don't stand out very well against the background....

Yes they do.

The hands are glow in the dark.

No, really?

They still suck. Not enough contrast between the hands and the background.

Also, the chronograph sub-dials (which aren't even needed on a dive watch) make it even harder to make out the hands.

Big watches are "in".

How do you, of all people, not know this?

I hardly ever wear a watch anymore. Between my phone, and clocks just about everywhere (except casino's and titty bars: or so I hear), there isn't much need.

That's a moderately serious dive watch, which are inherently large. though, most are smaller than that.
