My most obtrusive watch is my gshock rangeman, really annoying to wear and the least one is my marathon navigator I hardly notice on my wrist.
Most https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...215c5001f2.jpgtricky as I don’t have one particularly large watch but every surface polished and being kinda bling the Breitling just takes it
Least https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6b6b42a129.jpgat a hair under 36mm and thin as a thin thing, I frequently forget it’s on.
I hope I don’t own anything very obtrusive. Watches should be a private pleasure, I think. However, this is probably a touch obtrusive....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0d40a94d8c.jpg
Although, maybe not...anyway, this really does fly under the radar.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2c454ab096.jpg
The one I wear most often is 43mm, but I tell myself it’s not very obvious. Who knows what others think...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ee3afec624.jpg
I still think, if a watch is obtrusive, it’s wrong.

In theory this would be my most obtrusive - however when worn it is always under a shirt cuff, so to me it becomes unobtrusive.

This one at 34mm is unobtrusive.

My main three are all designed to go under the radar but probably the Rolex 15200 is the least noticable I think

The most is probably my Swatch Oscillation although its not been worn in 4-5 years at least.

This one can be a struggle to get under a cuff.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3dda57325b.jpg
This one just disappears.
It’s Breitling Superocean Heritage (mk1) 42mmQuote:

I was excited when the z33 was announced but ultimately it was size that put me off considering it further. That Patel is lovely and I'll never have one 😂Quote:

Most (and actually not very):

And least:
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8305fe2900.jpg
Most will probably be this Gshock
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d80a45c3fa.jpg
Least

This is hard to hide...

This quite unobtrusive...

The watch is fantastic actually one of the best 'Masters of G Shock' Casio ever made. The looks are a bit 'challenging' though!

I have the lungman like that,the resin have rot and local casio centre cannot service the watch....

Most obtrusive is my newest, though the shine will recede as it ages and sitting flat on the wrist as it does, it slips under a sleeve pretty well so can hide when required.

Most unobtrusive is probably this one, it’s beautiful but subtle I think.

Shape, thickness, width, lug width, lug-to-lug, styling, these two represent the extremes of my collection.
Proof if ever required that less is moreQuote:

I've a couple of 42mm watches which, while large, aren't obtrusive. My smallest watch though is just 30mm - and it's tinyness is so striking that, in a way, it's the more obtrusive....

Most people who are familiar with my collection would argue that I don’t really do unobtrusive...
I guess the one that gets noticed the most is this...

...and the one that most successfully ‘flies under the radar’ is this...

Obtrusive is a tie between these two:

Although Breitling don’t have reputation for unobtrusive watches, I’m going to have to go with this stealthy number

For obtrusive it’s a toss up between This
