I have a few large bracelets that I wear from time to time on my right arm. When I wear a large cuff bracelet, it seems to me a large (men's size) watch on the left wrist to too much. It seems better to me to wear a normal womens size watch on those days.

Any thoughts on this? Does anyone feel opposite? Prefer to wear large watch with large bracelet. (No watch is not really an option for me; I always wear one)

It seems better to me also for you to wear a normal woman's size watch with a large cuff. A large watch with the cuff is too overpowering. The cuff wouldn't stand out!!

Gee...I'm trying to invision this. Yea, a large watch/med bracelet. If you are tall you could get away with large watch/large bracelet. I wear a white 33mm diamond bezel J12 with a wt gold diamond tennis bracelet on my left wrist and 4 eternity diamond bangles (2 white gold, 2 yellow gold, 2ct each) on my right wrist. This is my uniform...have worn them everyday for years. But I'm 5'10" and feel funny wearing a "dainty" look! Sorry I can never figure out how to post pics but if you can...post a few with different looks.

It's too much real estate on the wrist. A woman's watch would work better....but it depends on your wrist size and body size. If your wrist is 6.0 or smaller, I think it would be too much.
If I wear a large watch, I skip the bracelet or wear on the other arm. Then it also depends on how big the "large" watch is.

I agree - seems like it would be overpowering and wouldn't show off any particular item. It would have a piled-on look.

Hmmm, I think it is OK either way, unless you are small-boned
