I have a just-under-7" wrist and find the DJ36 perfectly sized for me (if not a bit small-looking after the Apple Watch and my former daily driver Seiko 42MM Prospex diver). The DJ36 is noticeably heavier, as it should be. The thing I noticed most about the Apple watch is that it was really thick and kept getting caught on my shirt cuff. It tended to feel bulky, and as a result (and from the looks of it) it got banged around a fair amount.
You might try on a DJ41 just for the thrill and see how it feels, but the 36 is my pick for sure!
More than anything, though, I found that the connectivity of the Apple Watch (and any smart watch, for that matter) just seemed to add unnecessary stress and anxiety to my day. It's a constant distraction of information, and after I stopped wearing it and opted for a simple mechanical watch again, I felt somehow ... relieved. #digitalcleanse

Thanks so much for this! Exactly the feedback I was hoping for.
Out of curiosity, what dial color did you choose for the 126200?
