For the non-enthusiast it's the number more than anything. Someone that is used to wearing a 40mm Sub or whatever is not going to even look at a watch with a quoted 44mm+ size.
Now for me, as an enthusiast, it's more than just the number. They are in fact bigger than they should be in my opinion. The size and thickness were two of the reasons I wound up selling my Speedmaster Moonphase. It was a beautiful watch but just bigger than it needed to be.
I have a large wrist at 7.5" and typically wear 41-43mm watches, but the combination of 44.25mm width and ~17mm thickness was just over the top. Unfortunate because there was a lot I liked about that watch.
