[QUOTE="Jmurrz, post: 15718831, member: 153125"] I have bigger wrists too and it becomes much harder to find what you are looking for if you want an automatic larger than 40mm in that price range. I would look into a quartz movement. I know it is not the "cool" thing to do, but that would be my recommendation if you want to stay under 600. In reality quartz watches will always keep time better, the only reason to get an automatic is if you are going to appreciate the craftsmanship and added "value" that comes with a good automatic movement. Under $600 the movements are mostly going to be Japanese. Not that they don't run well enough, but to me if I am not going for prestige, I may as well get something that is low maintenance. Automatic watches (especially when you have multiple on rotation) are kind of a pain in the ass to keep wound and up to date. Half the time I walk out of the house with my watch on the wrong date and time. I was stuck on a "automatic only" mindset until recently, but I am now coming to find that it would be a relief to have a watch that just looks good and I don't have to worry about keeping it wound. If you can find an automatic you like, don't let the guts keep you from buying it. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
