If you’re sturdily built, you need a large watch for your wrist. It's not the watch strap size that matters much – you can always get a new watch strap. What is essential, though, is that the watch size is nice and big. Otherwise, it'll look too dainty on your wrist.
Unfortunately, the market’s selection of big watches for men with big wrists is limited. Many manufacturers aim for more of a unisex look. That means that the watch faces are smaller so that they’ll also suit a smaller wrist.
Men’s watches for thick wrists are typically challenging to find, or too expensive. We're changing that by making three different sized dials. Choose between a size of 32mm, 36mm, and 40mm for our Native and Philosopher ranges. Or stick to our Pioneer with its large 42mm size.
Any of our larger face watches could be considered big men's watches or watches for big hands, but our latest release, the Pioneer, outshines the rest in this department.
We’ve kept things simple by trimming our range for men to four models, the Pioneer, Native, Infinity, and Philosopher.
These models owe their unique good looks to the famous Scandinavian designer, Jakob Wagner. When we explained our idea, Jakob was extremely excited. Our goal was to design something beautiful that fits in with the spirit of hygge.
This Scandinavian principle is one that has recently taken the world by storm. In Copenhagen, though, it's a way of life. Hygge means embracing a simpler lifestyle. The idea is that if your life is too cluttered, you'll miss out on those little small details that make it so unique.
Our designs are timeless and elegant. They're simple, and that's what makes them so special. They'll look as good on your wrist in the office as they do on a night out.
And, if you want a little variety, all the watch straps are interchangeable. Swap out the fine leather strap for a nylon one if you’re heading out camping. Or use the stainless-steel watch straps to create a whole new look. There are several men's watch straps to choose from.
Just match up the watch size with the correct men's strap. You’ll see your choices under “watch straps” on our site. Don’t forget to check out our “bundle deals for men” for great offers on watches and extra watch straps together.
You'll never be at a loss for the perfect office look again. There's nothing wrong with wearing a black watch strap with a navy blue suit. Matching that suit with a navy blue option instead, though, subtly conveys exceptional attention to detail.
We also have an alternative called Large Women's Watches.
Men’s Watches for Large Wrists
What makes our range special is that we have so many choices to customise your order. With customisations to just about every part possible, our four models offer endless variation. We know that you’ll find the perfect match.
Here are the possibilities – not all options are available with all models, but most are:
- The face colour can be changed: Available in white, navy, and black.
- Swap the watch band: You have choices here as well – real or vegan leather, stainless steel mesh, rubber, and nylon.
- Choose a different metal colour for the case: The case can be in gunmetal, silver, yellow or rose gold.
Now that we've gone over the customisation, let's look at the watches themselves.

The Pioneer Chronograph
This new model is a triumph of Danish design. The face has two subdials. The left one counts off the seconds. The other one is a stopwatch. The date is featured at the bottom of the face. It’s stylish, big, and packed with chronograph features you’ll use.
The case is solid stainless steel. With a sapphire crystal glass front, this watch is designed for the man who is hard on chronograph watches.

Watches for Men with Thick Wrists
Our mission is to build a brand as iconic as Rolex, but a lot more affordable and sustainable as well.
We started by creating the perfect name for our brand. “Nord” is a nod to our Danish culture and values. “Green” relates to our emphasis on sustainability and our commitment to making the world a better place.
Our company puts its money where its mouth is. We’ve selected three areas to focus on when it comes to social responsibility:
- The environment
- Education
- Health
By supporting us, you’re also supporting the efforts of global charities working in these areas. A portion of the proceeds from your purchase could help to fund:
- Environmental protection programmes across the world
- Education initiatives in third-world countries to help people escape the cycle of poverty
- Bringing sanitation to third-world countries where diseases like cholera are still endemic
We Stand by the Quality of Our Products
Outstanding customer service comes standard with us. We go beyond just being helpful to you when you call in, though. We start by choosing the finest components for our timepieces. We then put all those components together by hand. There's simply no better way to control the quality.
We’re not done yet – we also inspect each item before it gets shipped. Having to return an item because it’s defective is an annoyance for you. That’s why we take every precaution to make that unnecessary.
We do stand behind our products. We offer a two-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. If something goes wrong during that time, we will repair or replace your watch, just visit our website or your retailer to learn about returning the item.
What Makes Our Timepieces Special?
We only use the best components from reputable suppliers. Here’s the list of materials we use to keep your new timepiece ticking.
Miyota Movement
The quartz movement that we use in our watches accounts for their excellent time-keeping. We've partnered with Miyota because they are the best supplier in the quartz watch movement market worldwide. Nothing but absolute accuracy is considered good enough when it comes to a watch's movement.
Sapphire Glass
Sapphire crystal glass can stand up to a fair amount of abuse. It’s scratch-resistant and very strong, one of the best on the market.
High-Quality Watch Straps
A watch band is a perfect way to update a watch in seconds. Choose from:
- High-Grade Stainless Steel: If you’re out in the field all day, you need something that’s scratch-resistant and stain-resistant. Stainless-steel ticks both boxes and looks good doing so.
- Italian Leather: We import this material from Italy because it's the finest in the business. If you feed and nourish the material regularly, it will last a lifetime.
- Rubber: Rubber is a better option than stainless steel, where heat is a factor as rubber is a poor heat conductor.
- Vegan Leather: Part of our mission to protect the environment is to offer clients eco-friendly alternatives. It’s comparable to the “real” deal but is plant-based.
Water-Resistant Up to Three Atmospheres
We don't advise submerging your new watch, but all models are water-resistant up to three atmospheres. If you're caught in the rain or working in a high humidity environment, this is important. However, the Pioneer has a water resistance of 5 ATM, meaning it can withstand more.
