Wrist Size or Body Type? Settle this......

I posted a pic of a B&R on the very small wristed guy a few months back, it looked glaringly BIG!

I've got decent sized arms so the biggest I think I would wear these days would be 48 mm. I would rather a watch be a TOUCH too big that too small...

Surprisingly, I am very happy at 44mm plus the crown these days!

Wrist size, definitely.

As a 245-pound guy with scrawny 7" wrists, even my 44mm Doxa looks oversized on my wrist.

I think its more wrist size. My wrist is 8 inches but I tend to favor watches in 46mm or less. Taking wrist size and height (6'2") into account, that might even be small compared to some. Case shape can also play into it-some will wear larger or smaller. Someone with a 6-1/2 wrist wearing a huge watch is similar in my eyes to some dwarf driving a jacked up 4 wheel drive. Compensating for something sport?

I have 8.5 inch wrists, and a bigger than average body. I bought a 47mm by accident (advertized as 43mm), I looks friggin' huge on me. I like to stay in the 40-43mm range (and this is up from 38-42mm as I get used to watches this size). I can make small watches look bigger in wrist shots or big ones smaller. But when you see these freakishly huge pie pans on somebody's wrist I just laugh, sometimes out loud.....and I point .

When it comes down to it.............who the hell are all of us? Lol.......as I just said elsewhere, ......i wear what looks good to ME, and what is comfortable for ME......If a 44mm looks and feels good, i wear it......if its a 50mm, and it fits and looks good, i wear it.......period.......if others think im a clown, im a ass, a douche, etc....good for them, i wasnt wearing the watch for anyone else, im wearing it because i like it, .......alot of people for years, think im stupid for wearing cowboy boots.....hasnt stopped me from wearing them either.......I love how everyone thinks they are right or wrong........NO one is right or wrong, it is whatever YOU like....if you wear a 40mm, and that is what you like.......good for you......if you wear a 65mm.......whatever.....its like food, there are a million different ways to prepare chicken.......is one way better than the other? Well, thats subjective to someones personal taste......just like clothes, cars, shoes, houses, etc......We all like different things........Why dont we stop worrying about what is the best size, and just rejoice in the fact that we all do have one thing in common.......WE ALL LOVE WATCHES......no matter what size we wear............

Wow Heartbreak that was GOOD !!! I have kinda small wrists at 7 inches..and
am not 6ft, but still like all types of watches. I tend to gravitate toward 42mm to
46mm however, my eyes are bigger than my wrists with some of my watches too !
It's a great topic and I guess it depends on the person what they like in the end !
Thanks AH !
