Oris Aquis Ladies' Automatic Watch

I got this watch from last drop, thought this might help you guys.
My partner bought it thinking it will be ok for male wrists (says so in reviews) and checked photo reviews. I ended up getting it off him because it looked very small on him and he has quite thin wrists.
The thing with it is that it seems to appear significantly larger in photos taken with phones (at least iphones).
I have taken a photo for your reference (on my wrist - and I have very thin wrist even for females). The watch looks A LOT larger in the photo than what it actually is. It may be the optics?
In actual it just looks just like the size for ladies' diver watch (ie larger than ladies' small dress watches). I believe it will look very small for male wrists.
As of quality I am no watch savvy.
However it never caused any trouble and it does seem to be pretty tough with everyday use.
I would say it looks quite nice with low profile, however bear in mind that Oris won't stock any straps or bracelets for ladies' diver watches especially in this black.
You do know Oris makes this funny lug which won't fit conventional straps either. The rubber band is really nice though, so no issues for me (think I had this watch for more than 6 months for sure if not 1 year and still going well). The strap stinks initially however gradually it fades out into vanilla like faint scent then disappears. It also tapers a bit and looks fine on my wrist which means it can look quite thin on other people's.
If you haven't worn automatic or diver watches it will feel very heavy and thick on you initially but gradually you'll get used to it.
Also if you have small wrists like I do you will end up getting strap ends sticking out, and trying to adjust by cutting the opposite end strap will shift the buckle too much to one side. I tried looking for options however leaving it as is seemed to be the best option.
If Oris and Massdrop can do some straps or bracelet drop for this watch I woud love to join please.
Final verdict : If size fits this is a very nice watch at a great price.
