Very informative!
I think it depends on the wrist of the wearer, and also of the watch...
A dressy and elegant watch may be a bit smaller, like 35 / 37mm, and looses its elegance if 42 mm.
We also may note that some watches that were originally 35 / 37 mm have problems when getting bigger.
A sporty watch may be more exuberant, without problems, and reach 42/ 44 mm.
A toolwatch can also be bigger.
It depends on a lot of factors, I think, but the most important one is to not look ridiculous when you have a very small wrsit and that you put a 60mm watch, LOL
Thanks a lot ofr your work, it was informative, and very niteresting!

When is big too big - or not big enough
I know this is always a touchy subject because there is a feeling that big is a trend. But the trend seems to have legs. You can't deny that more and more are going for bigger. Across Europe over the summer the trendy ladies are all sporting Rolex Submari...

It really is the talk of the "Hour"
I find it very difficult to guess right on such an issue. For those saying that it is just a trend, please go back in time and remember the evolution: 1) First the pocket watch. Just to start, it was quite big. 2) Then, who would have guessed that it woul...
Size does matter but...
it's not the only parameter. In fact, our feelings about the size of the watch are influenced by : the thickness of the bezel the case shape the design of the watch the lugs the materials etc... A perfectly designed 42/44mm watch can appear to be more bal...
Size has become a substitute for good design.
The result is that many massive watches have less real wrist presence than a finely-designed smaller watch. There is certainly nothing wrong with a well-designed and proportioned big watch (although I generally find them too heavy to be worn comfortably f...
Agree to that mk and
also i think all the pieces that are coming out at 50mm plus not only would they be heavy but also uncomfortable, wrists are not getting any bigger and i think we have touched on the near max size that feels and looks right but only time will tell if peop...
i personally think that larger watches, up to 47mm are here to stay
firstly as previously stated people are getting bigger and i hate to say it, fatter. can you imagine what a 34mm watch would look like on a 6' 4'' 25st guy with rolls of fat? it would look ridiculous regardless of quality. i also think that the uber watch...
Data from a survey I did...
Here is a short survey I did across several boards recently. The sweet spot appears to be 40-42mm. Number of Respondents: 158 Wrist Size: 6" (min), 7.2" (avg), 6.5" (mode, 18%), 8.75 (max) Watch Size: 30mm (min), 40.7mm (avg), 64mm (max) Modal Watch Size:...
I think size should not be substitude for a good design..
I think for me 42 mm is maybe too large.
What's an extra millimeter amongst friends . . .
. . . Mike R's gorgeous Grand Seiko on my wrist, weighing in at 37 mm, I believe. Balance and proportion are attributes commonly discounted today . . . cordially, Art...
