I do not care about...
Hi all,
I have a very slim wrist at about 18 cm, so too large cases look ridiculous.
I do not care about the size of a watch as my main theme in collecting is (very old) vintage.
Collecting is more important to me than wearing all of them... so size does not really matter.
It is different with my daily wearer(s) - as I became older watches became larger due to
the loss of my "eagle eye" - I wanted to avoid spectacles for reading the time 
A nice size to wear for me is 36 - 39 mm, my largest watch is 40 mm I think (aviator´s watch).
I like rectangular watches a lot - but I know I belong to a minority...
best

Time for a forum question...
Hello everyone. Watches come in all sizes and so do people. What size watches do you prefer ? Does it make a difference if the watch is on a bracelet or not? The follow up question and what is your wrist size ? What is your most comfortable watch ? For me...
preferences
Hi Bill, I prefer straps as opposed to bracelets. The bracelets tend to pull the hair on my arm, and while I do have a couple watches with bracelets, they sit in the safe. I have a normal, I think, size wrist at about 7.25 inches and I really go not like ...
A bit all over the place...
Good idea too a thread Wrist size: 215 mm or around 8,5 inches. Watch size: 32-42. As I did sell my only Panerai as I think it was to big... Strap/bracelet: I like both, but prefer bracelet on my daily beaters and strap on my dress watches. Dial: Prefer w...
6.5" wrist, prefers 38-40 mm dress and 40-42 mm sport watches
I would not wear anything that looks ridiculously large and expansive on my wrist like the AP Royal Oak Offshore (nothing wrong with that watch, of course, the problem is with the wrist size). My most comfortable watch would probably be the Seamaster Pro ...
A lot depends on body proportion
I have 6.6" wrists, but I'm also 6'2", so larger watches work fine within reason. Wrist shape has much to do with it. A flat wrist like mine gives the appearance of wider wrist. I lean lean towards smaller vintages, but I do own a 45.5 Planet Ocean as wel...
Wrist size is just under 7"...
... so the largest watch I'll wear is a 42mm Vostok Europe I got at an estate clearance for less than a good watchband. Anything larger looks like I'm wearing my father's watch and won't fit under a cuff. Most comfortable with 34mm to 36mm Seamasters, Con...
Don't know
my wrist size but I like them between 40-42mm for elegant i.e suit piece and 44-47mm for sport i.e. casual. Sport definiteyl bracelet....elegant definitely strap. Have 55m piece and feel great with it :0) Damjan

I like squares, too.
".......I like rectangular watches a lot - but I know I belong to a minority..." No, you are not. This square Zenith (1965 vintage) has the most time on my (small) wrist....
Make that three fans . . .

35.5mm is right for me
I don't like the big, chunky cases. Smaller watches are less prone to the daily bumps and grinds. The size of this Seamaster seems perfect for my wrist size ....
Phil, why do you do this?
You are killing me... by showing this beauty... kind regards Erich
39 to 41mm...
Seamaster Pro chronometer diver's watch at 41mm, and the SMAT (old model, with the 2500 movement) at 39.2mm. These seem to be best. To each his own!
7 inch 38-44mm, but just getting into 47mm from that brand.. LOL [nt]
for watches up to 42 bracelet ok but 44 plus leather strap only.... strangely the 44 speedmaster wears like a 42..on the bracelet Imran This message has been edited by imran in london on 2011-01-22 18:21:54
I like a 39-40mm watch best.
I have watches between 37-42mm. I like a watch on a strap, but I have to admit that a really well-crafted bracelet can make me change my mind. The one thing with straps is that when it's hot here I sometimes get heat rash on my wrist, which can be a bumme...
34-36mm is ideal for me.
A great question Bill. My wrist is approx 6.5in around. The 34-36mm size range suits my wrist well, also covers much of the 50s and 60s Omegas I like, though I currently have watches from 32mm to 42mm in my collection. It depends quite a bit on the watch ...
Size isn't important..............
I have 8.25 inch (210mm) wrists but I still like wearing smaller watches like my 22mm rectangular Omega T17 and my 34mm vintage Connies and Seamasters. However, I have a number of larger watches (39 - 42mm) and I feel that these suit me better. I suppose ...
very varied in my case
wrist around 7inches, my smallest watch is 26mm - classic VC and biggest is 60mm- pam 341 always prefer leather. occasionally bracelet, would be either Omega speedies or Rolex daytoina or submariner. best, Horo
When this question was asked . . .
. . . a few years ago (by pplater on HoMe, if not mistaken), my answer was 35 mm to 39 mm, with 37 mm as ideal. My wrist, Cazalea's 37 mm GS: Today, my preferences in round watches is pretty much the same, but weighted more towards the lower end of the sc...
small wrist; 33–37mm
Some watches wear bigger than others, of course, depending on bezel width, etc. I'd say that 36mm is my favorite size, though.
Size issues!
Well I should start with the details, I have a 7.5 inch wrist and thick forearms from many years of contact sports. To that end I tend to like larger sizes, contrary to many PuristS. My Omega collection ranges from 38mm (1966 Seamaster 30) to 49mm (The Ra...
6" wrist, no favorite size, bracelets & straps are both problems...
My wrist is thin, so big watches look ridiculous on me. I know that, but I still like a few of these behemoths anyway -- in particular, some of the first quartz Omegas. Below are some wrist pics. I included the Rolex Deep Sea pics because I think that's t...
6 in wrist here too
Hi, its an old post but hopefully you can still see it Im in the same situation with you. 6in and I can see myself going for a “correct” or small watch! I have put my eye on the new sea dweller 43 but im a bit afraid of the size. The normal last generatio...
My wrist is about 6.25, so a little bigger than you. Sweet spot is 36-40mm depending on case shape, lugs etc.
I've tried on the DeepSea and while I do own watches at 44mm and 45mm the DeepSea is just a monster on my wrists. It's not just the 43mm, it's the thickness of the case too.
