Victoria, appreciate your “extremely biased” review but first of all, anyone buying this watch completely realizes how large it is, LOTS of people like big watches, im 6"0 and 260lbs and it fits me perfect, and feels perfect. It’s actually one of the best watches i have ever owned. Does it have too much info going on,

A few things to note, some of which have already been mentioned in the comments.

Now... Hear me out... I know it may sound crazy... Give it to some one else to review.

If this was made for a giant wrist... then why didn’t someone with a giant wrist review it?  

Not trying to be insulting, but this watch and all the others in its class are made for a different brand of crazy. And that is how it should be reviewed. It’s silly that anyone asked any Kinja editor to review this beast at all**.

The point is that this person should not be reviewing it because it is not made for them, marketed to them, or offer anything to justify itself for them. The Serbon’s point is valid and true. Although I wouldn’t have used the word biased. More that this reviewer is out of market for the intended customer.

The point is that Garmin also offers two smaller versions of this watch. It is good to know as well because a person might find this watch to fit just right. People come in varying sizes. 

I am not sure if your Giz office assigns the review to the least qualified person because they know they will get an article where reviewer will concentrate on all the wrong things and start spitting all over it due to all the wrong reasons. It seems, long gone, are the days where Giz wrote unbiased review, especially

I can report that the Raptor that lives down the street happily returns home each day after work clean as a whistle. The guy has a Challenger that he drives on the weekends. I calculate that 98% of Raptor owners are the same way.

That joke is right up there with mall crawl. yeah yeah, just because you see them in town all shiny and clean doesn’t mean they don’t get dirty...it just means you aren’t in the dirt enough to see them there.
