I don't know about the rest, but the fingers don't really look wrong at all. Just tried it myself and thumb looks the same.

If that watch is based on the Casio Vintage LA680WE (33.5 x 28.6 x 8.6 mm), that left thumb's first knuckle is >2x longer than its length, making it >2.6 in long and therefore ~2.6x longer than normal on a cishet, white male in his 20s-30s like the one simulated above... 🤢😅

ah yes, the "cishet" thumb, famously distinct and identifiable

Apologies, was attempting clarity.

Why do you assume that the knuckle begins there? It's way more likely to just be the skin between the thumb and the index finger. Again, try it out in a mirror and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I do apologize, but the anatomical math doesn't check out.

If that had been the knuckle, sure. But there is nothing that says there is, it's just an assumption on your part. Yet again, try it yourself with a mirror.

It's like trying to teach maths. 😶

And still you haven't even tried observing your own hands for some reason?

Everyone reading this can look at their own hands, see in a glance their first thumb knuckles aren't 2+ inches long and immediately know you're taking the piss. Next.

But why on earth do you keep assuming that the knuckle is that far down on the hand?? I keep telling you, look in a mirror. It's just the skin between the two fingers you see there, the knuckle starts further up. It's really not hard to try and see man.
