The Tissot is pretty chunky although it's face isn't that big. I've 
never seen a Apple watch, but I'd suspect it has a bigger face although 
it may not be as chunky. My Ticwatch is bigger then my Tissot, as far as 
the face is concerned, but it's a bit thinner and not as chunky.

into my hands I was disappointed with how big it is.  It is too big for my
wrist.  With that said, I'm now wondering how big it is compared to an Apple
Watch.

I do not know if they are still available, but here is a link to a
description and a link to AbleMart where it says it is in stock.

Tissot and a Victorinos. The Tissot was hard to find, and you want to make
sure you get the right model, i.e. the Silen-T. I haven't had either of them
for decades, but I don't see why the Tissot won't last forever. I don't like
the Victorinos much though. I find the face too small. I am intrigued by the
Eone though, and I'd love to see one in action. It also seems like it should
be pretty durable.
