Title: What is your favourite watch size?
Post by: tmsoo on September 22, 2016, 02:58:23 PM

40mm, 42mm, 44.25mm, and the important is see what clothing I am wearing on that day to match with my watch.

My wrist size grows bigger as I get older. When I was 20 yo younger, the perfect size was 35mm to 38mm.

But now I feel more comfortable with size ranging from 38mm to 42mm.

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.

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.

Title: Re: What is your favourite watch size?
Post by: Timeless on December 20, 2016, 08:25:44 AM
formal 42-45mm, casual 45-49mm (subject to the case thickness though)
Title: Re: What is your favourite watch size?
Post by: TickTock on December 20, 2016, 09:10:25 AM
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.

I normally like 39-42mm. But cases sometimes wear normal, other times smaller or larger. A well-known example is the Rolex Explorer 2 42mm which wears more like a 44mm according to most people.

I tried it at an AD and feel it fits me well though.

Generally I find 36-38mm is smallish on my
7" wrist but somehow I find DJ 36mm wears
Big (don't really like the bulky DJ2 41mm)..

DJ looks even bigger with smooth n fluted

IF I may suggest, I think this thread would become more meaningful, wonderful, or even helpful, if all posters can state:

1. Wrist size (6.5", 7.0, 7.5" etc)

2. Preferred face size.

3. A huge plus point, is to post a pic and possibly state the grail on wrist - to put things into perspective. (like one or two of the posters have did recently)

Instead of merely stating the preferred face diameter size.  :thumbsup: :Cheers:

Hopefully previous posters can repost accordingly.  :thumbsup: :Cheers:

Do you guys go through a phase of changing your fave watch size? I went from what I deemed as bigger watches (>42mm), to a long many years phase of 36mm (dress) - 40/42mm (diver), and recently found that I had been flipping and buying such that most of my current beaters are 44-47mm. And because of that, the 20/22mm straps that I have had to go in the cabinet for a while, while I get the 24mm ones to match the bigger watches.

Apart from wrist size, wrist shape plays an equally important factor here. I have a 6" wrist but flat, I like watches between 42-44mm.

I normally like 39-42mm. But cases sometimes wear normal, other times smaller or larger. A well-known example is the Rolex Explorer 2 42mm which wears more like a 44mm according to most people.

I tried it at an AD and feel it fits me well though.

I tend to disagree on this. I think the Explorer 2 wears more like a 40mm to me. :)

So does this Explorer 2 42mm look too big on me?

42mm and above. All my watches have met these size criteria. Except for my dress watch of course.

I have chopstick wrists, so 40mm is the best size for me personally. I have bought and sold watches because of this - it took me a while to figure out that sweet spot, so I'm getting rid of anything over 40mm that I have.

42mm and above! But there are watches that still wear big under 40mm like AP 15300. So i really depends on the design.

my wrist is 6.5" so i prefer 36mm for dress watch and 40mm for diver

This is exactly me. Everybody here sharing their preferences but I’m wondering what their wrist sizes are at the back of my mind. Heh.

For sport tool watches preferably at size 40mm and above.
For dress watches should be fine with in 36mm to 40mm

I believe it's refreshing to have a variety of sizes in your collection. Certain watches with their history and heritage in mind are meant to be worn big or small (I.e. 45mm+ flieger watches & classic 36mm datejust)

But it's all up to your personal preference, you like small or big sized watches regardless of wrist size - go for it!

With my 6.25 wrist -

Dress 34 to 38mm
Tool/Sports/Versatile 36 to 42mm
