What is the biggest watch size that you can wear?
« on: August 03, 2011, 04:14:41 AM »
I have a fairly small wrist. Measure it and it is just 6.5". So far the biggest watch is my small collection is my Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph which is 41mm. Bigger than this I feel uncomfortable  ;) Even IWC 3717 Pilot Chronograph ( 42mm ) feel big. Maybe due to its small bezel design.

Big watches are so 2005.

I think they look especially sad on small Asian wrists.

dont just look at the size of the watch....
dont just look at the wrist size of ur hand....

wider wrist can carry bigger watch despite thin.... (but of course a big round wrist look better)

the lugs design of a watch actually determind a big watch sit well on your wrist....
shorter the lugs better for smaller wrist....
flat lugs need bigger and wider wrist to carry....

Biggest I have tried, 44mm square and after a while I dont like it. Lesson learn, always try on yr wrist first before you buy.  :thumbsup:

I have tried sizes ranging frm 38mm to 44mm and most of them sit well.
I have one 45mm behemoth of a dress watch coming in and hopefully it will sit nicely...

My wrist is at 6.5- 6.7 ,

If the watch is 44mm and all black PVDd and u r a tall guy (5'10" and above) ...i think it should blend nice  ;D

Well that's what the sales girl at one of the AD told me ...  hehe

But yes ... All black watch on 44mm doesn't look that too big at all .

Im 1.87m and have wrist around 6.7, and 42 mm is the biggest id go for.

I find the sight of big watches dangling on skinny wrist a joke. Its like wearing shoes or clothes that are way too big for you  ;D
