Part of being a manly watch is its significant present on the wrist. The watch is "very confident," as one Deep Blue rep said on ShopNBC while talking about the Depthmaster.
But sometimes when a watch appears to be on steroids, you find yourself looking at it and wondering if the watch is trying too hard and has become an instrument of compensation. Instead of being proud of your manly watch, you're overcome with shame. Jonny calls this "steroid shame," to take something he said out of context. You want a manly watch that is confident but doesn't try too hard. The above watch with a 60mm bezel proved to produce such shame for me and I decided to put it up for sale.
