And maybe a little bit of ribbing now and then from forum friends whenever he wears such a dainty little watch.

I can think of no reason why they would go out of their way to label that watch a ladies' watch. Marketing people often do more harm than good.

In the William Gibson article posted this week, he mentions that the contemporary standard for a man's watch is 36 mm. Just last week, Rolex introduced a 39 mm version of their most basic watch, the Oyster Perpetual. Before that, the largest size it came in was 36 mm. I'm guessing they sold a large number of those to men and women. Marketing folks need to get over the need to genderize everything. (As the father of a young daughter, I will refrain from sharing how angering it can be to try to find toys that do not have a gender bias.)
