Wristwatches - what do you wear?

Was wondering if I could get some helping deciding between these 2 watches.
The Larger is a 38mm limited edition 75th anniversary Omega Seamaster, with a summer blue gradient dial. The smaller is a 34mm Omega Seamaster Aquaterra that's part of their Shades line that just came out in Summer blue . I like both... but I dont know if the larger watch might be too large for my wrist and be something I might not reach for as much once the oversized watch trend for women dies down a bit. There is only a $400 dollar difference. So the price isn't enough to sway me.
Thoughts???

There may be a difference of opinions but
I personally prefer the smaller one on your wrist.

I prefer larger watches myself and like the look of the larger one on you. But you may want to think about how it fits in with the other watches in your collection. If you tend to reach for larger watches to wear, then get the larger one so you'll wear it. Or if you have larger watches in your collection but are looking for a change and something daintier for more formal occasions, get the smaller one. They both look great on you! You can't go wrong with either. Sorry, I know I'm not helping! :P

I actually don’t have any large watches, which is why I’m looking at these. So I won’t really know if I’ll gravitate towards a larger watch until I own one.
I own two 29mm watches, a 25mm tank, and a 22.5mm mini omega.
I definitely want something larger to add to my collection. But the 38mm would be a huge leap from what I’m used to wearing. I really like both , but that wont happen. Decisions, Decisioms.
Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks for sharing these! I've been thinking about getting an Aquaterra too.

I prefer the 34mm on you. I have a De Ville with almost the same size (32.7mm) and I reach for that over my 38mm Citizen Ecodrive.

Go for the 34mm then. I love how that looks on you. It's already bigger than what you currently have and the 38 I think will be much heavier in comparison as well. You might not wear it as often. Or, if you can borrow someone else's watch that is around 38mm in size to wear for a couple of days, see if you like the size and weight of it.
 
I recently bought the small Panthere in stainless steel for a milestone birthday coming up in 6 months, but I wanted to beat the price increase towards the end of the year, the potential scarcity in availability just before then and bought it at 5% off the current RRP.

I'm leaning towards smaller watches now, so I will most likely sell my Tissot PRX 35mm.
 
Im allergic to stainless steel, so a bit restricted ….yesterday I ordered an Accurist 9ct white gold diamond bracelet watch(hopefully I won’t be allergic to that), with a rectangular face.
Pics to follow when it arrives!

I’ll buy more high end watches, but I’m spending on jewellery atm, once I’ve bought more jewellery, I’ll buy a better watch..

Which one look good on me?

1. 25mm Omega diamond quartz
2. 29mm Omega auto
3. 29mm Omega sedna gold auto

Might have the unbelievable opportunity to actually buy one of these still debating.

Absolutely adore this design don't know why I didn't come across it earlier.

My vote would go to no.3

I’d always choose Automatic over quartz as you’re buying a watch movement, and gold over plain steel.

Just my opinion ..it’s Your watch xx
