Smallest size for 8.25" wrist

[Snipe10]

For years I wouldn't buy or wear anything under 44mm. Actually liked larger watches and wore them more. Just passed on a SD43 and while I though the size was ok, it seemed really light in weight. My daily is an large Omega or a Deep Sea which is why. Anyone out there with 8" plus wrists wearing 42mm or smaller? I think it's just me that thinks they look small. Just checking as maybe I'm overthinking it and a 40mm or 42mm are just fine.

This guy rocks a BLNR a lot.

I do have an 8 inch wrist, and can wear the GMT Master IIs with ease, anything smaller most definitely not.
Also I just picked up a SD43 yesterday and it's a very beautiful piece and fits great. I feel its the ultimate Submariner, my Sub 41 does not get any wear (since I got the DSSD) and now definitely won't lol

Pic for size comparison:

I have 8'' wrists and wear a 36mm Datejust often.

It's not the size that matters, it's how you wear it.

I have 8” wrists and 40 mm is fine.

I did think my old TOG was a bit small.

Legend has it he bought two BLNRs and stitched them together. Then ordered two extra links.

It looks like a WW2 trench watch on him

I have 8” wrists and wear 40 and 41mm. I did have the 44 James Cameron but I couldn’t get it to sit great on the wrist so I stick with my 40 and 41 stuff.

John Cena is a big time actor, been in about a dozen films, has also hosted Saturday Night Live and is a big supporter of Make A Wish Foundation, and a 16 time World Champ in wrestling, if you consider the WWE wrestling. Good guy and good actor.

I have a 8.1" wrist and don't have much issues with wearing smaller watches. In fact, I prefer smaller watches and don't like the chunk and heft on my wrist as much as I used to. For reference sake, I have owned 47mm PAM and also had DSSD in the past.

Some 36mm (in sports and dress) as reference:

Maxi size iWatch.

i also have 8.25" wrists, and i have multiple 36mm watches in my collection, love 'em just as much as I do my 40mm+

[pa1113]

To each his own for sure. For me (only 7 3/4" wrist) I don't like anything under 38-39mm - but times change, style changes and some are ok with less.

Made me think about this photo I saved the other day. Wonder if anyone told him this looked small?

Props to all the big guys wearing smaller watches, leaders not followers.

It just comes down to what you're comfortable with. There's guys with 6.5" wrists and smaller that only wear 44mm and larger. No rules.
