I actually love big watches like 44-47mm but due to my 6 inch wrist I think it looks great only between 38-40mm  :-\

For to 6 inch wrist, I prefer 38-40mm as it doesn't look too chunky or too small for my wrist  ;D

After much trial and error (and expensive mistakes), I find 36-40mm are the better sizes for my wrist. 36-38mm are the best.

 Yes, I am in the Small-Watch-Fan category, even though I consider my wrists are of average size.

For dress watch, I prefer 36mm-40mm. For diver watch, I prefer 40mm-42mm. Tried bigger sizes over time but sometimes it looked as though the watch was wearing me, and not the other way round. So am more disciplined in my selections these days.

40-42 mm for my 7.25" wrist. However,having gone thru the period when 36mm was the norm I stll look for 36mm.

42-44 is my preference. However I also have a 48mm and it looks fine although its large. 7.75" wrist.

The shape of the watch case, bezel or lack of a bezel (dial may look larger), thickness and material have more to do with preference to me than the size. That is why I prefer to buy watches I have tried on my wrist.

The only exception I made is when I bought a D. Dornblüth & Sohn without trying it on. In fact I never saw one other than photos before I opened the box for mine.
