They really aren't
Maybe it’s camera angle, but they look huge, particularly the two bead blasted ones:

They are thicker than the other two watches, and yes the camera is closer which makes a huge difference. The reason I took the photo with my Solargraph was because I was trying to show that these supposedly 44mm watches feel like nothing of the sort because of the lack of lugs. My Solargraph is 40mm don't forget. It should look obviously different in a photograph. I kinda wish I had my orange F1 on at the time as I am sure that would have been a better comparison. Yes they are a little wider because the pushers extend the case rather than stick out from the case. I assume they must have measure the pushers in the case size to get to 44mm (much like the 47mm SLR).

Also, that Porsche glassbox looks a decent size in my picture but I actually had to recheck it was 42mm because I thought it must be a 39mm, but then the 39mm glassboxes wear like 36mm on me... but they had the 39mm purple glassbox and the blue one with diamonds in the case next to me and it looked the same to me.

If only they could have figured out some more details and accents to throw at that Red Bull Formula 1 . . . 😵‍💫

Still looks huge
Well then I suggest you go and try one on yourself, cos it really isn't.

@Aquagraph, do the new Formula 1s wear similar to the Carrera Sports 44mm models? They wore small, too. I could see that with these Formula 1s as well.

It's a long time since I wore one, but smaller I would say, not as chunky

Well obviously it is. It’s 44mm in width plus the crown, yes the L2L is short, so visually no lug overhang (which is the tell tale sign a watch is too big for your wrist)

Showing the 200 & chrono which are smaller & look it

It's not small. But like the latest Aquaracera it wears smaller than you think. No way does it wear like a 44mm.

It's definitely 44, but in black it shrinks a bit. And the lightweight titanium definitely helps in all cases.
