Like anything else, watches and their designs are subject to whimsical fashion influences. What's cool today might be very un-cool tomorrow. However, what goes around, comes around. See how sought after kitsch and art deco is nowadays!
For me, I'm not a fashionado, so I buy what I like. I have big and small watches of many different designs. If you're buying to follow a trend, I'm thinking you're buying for the wrong reason. Personally I think the oversize watch trend is just that: a trend. Practicality and common sense will prevail ultimately. Looking at the watch designs that have stood the test of time, "boring" designs certainly come to mind: the Rolex Oysters being a case in point.
Having said that, the beauty of our hobby is that it makes provision for all tastes and flavours.
