I hope it's comfortable, because it looks tight!

For Rolex it was the 116622 I had. Most comfortable for me is Panerai on a leather strap.

Still would say my 16710 with the SD43 a close second.

This SMP 300M. The watch is perfect size at 42 mm and fairly thin. The rubber strap is incredibly comfortable and hugs the wrist while keeping the watch from sliding around. I forget I'm wearing it many times.

116500 or Lange dress watch on strap. Panic and look down only to find it sitting there.

My 16710 GMT is more comfortable than my 16613 Bluesy but I like the Bluesy better

The president bracelet is amazingly comfortable also, maybe the best, especially for such a heavy piece...and it breathes so well, even better than the 5712. But also no adjustment!
The DSSD bracelet has the best clasp of any watch IMO. The adjustment system is just superb and oyster bracelets feel good on the wrist. A+
To me, jubilee feels very similar to the president bracelet, just lighter and different clasp. (on mine anyway)
If you want a light as a feather, thin feeling piece...5712 hands down.
If you want a really substantial feeling piece, Platinum DD40 or 126660 both hit a very sweet spot. DD40 better bracelet feel when it fits right, DSSD because it always fits right. :)
My $.02.

For me, it's a tie between my Daytona 116500 and my GMT Master BLRO 126710. Both are super comfortable.

Nomos 35mm dress watches. Leather straps. They're truly comfortable with no discernable weight or noticeable in wearing at all. Vs bigger metal watches that weigh as much as a mobile phone on the wrist. My sub is nice but incomparable to less bulky ultra slim cases of course.

I have two colleagues, the first has Rolex Daytona and the second UN Marine. Both confidently claim that they will never return to a bracelet (Oyster and President) or leather band after Oysterflex elastomer and Rubber. A week ago I thought it was a joke. But now I think that they may be right.
Need Your suggestions. Many thanks.
Never found any watch uncomfortable to wear no matter the brand or size weight perhaps it's because I have large wrists.

Until I sold it, this titanium Seamaster. I've become anti-date so it had to go even though it was one of the best executed date windows of all.

I find all of my watches are very comfortable, if I had to pick these two would be the most comfortable.

Have had many PP's including the 3970 / 5167, an abundance of Rollies, Cartier Tank XL.... here's the most comfy two imho:

Bvlgari Octo FS and the OMEGA Speedy 50th Anniv Buzz Butt.

No doubt, the Apple Watch was probably the most comfortable watch I've worn. However, in recent years, I've had quite an aversion to smart watches. I don't like the new technology, the thought of replacing the watch every couple of years, and having it tied to my phone. I replaced my Apple Watch with the Explorer 214270 a few years ago. At first the Explorer felt extremely heavy, but I got used to it.

On bracelet my Bloodhound Air King. On Nato my CWC RN auto.
If I still had it, I’m guessing my DJ 36 on jubilee that I wore in the 80’s would probably be my most comfortable.
