I'm almost 50 and my near vision has turned bad. However, I only have a 7.25inch wrist. Tho I wear a Sub everyday, the easiest to see for me is my Omega 2254.50 with a 41.5mm dial.

I've owned/worn too many watches than I'd like to admit and my favorite size is unquestionably 41mm. The Omega SMP is proportioned perfectly.

40 is perfect
I'm not understanding this new trend for 48mm

I have a smaller wrist, so 39-41 is perfect for me. Nothing smaller or larger.

I had a 43mm and it was right on the line for me being too big. 39 would be the smallest I would go. Anything in between is spot on.

I like the original DD in 36 mm better than the DDII in 41 mm. I love my GMT II and Sub in 40 mm. If I had the dough, I'd get the Polar EXP II in 42.

Depends on the watch I guess.

I prefer 48 mm but wearing a Rolex is way important than size.If Rolex makes a watch in 48 mm in these following I would order by good grace

I have relatively small wrist which enables me to wear almost any size.
And I was always fan of 36mm-40 mm range of watches, but lately I'm leaning toward 42-43mm.

I have a small wrist so 39mm-41mm is the sweet spot.

My 36mm Explorer 1 is probably my most comfortable watch to wear.

I still wear it occasionally, and when I do I enjoy it... but it does look small to me now.

May be time to consider taking a couple links out and passing it on to my wife.

Picked 41, but 41-42 hits the sweet spot for me. It really does depend greatly however, on whether its dress or sports, and if it's thick or thin.
