Anyone else love oversized watches?

Fun fact. A 6.5 inch wrist is the most common wrist size in the watch community.

Ha ha! Got 6.5 too. And wear a 45. Looks all right in the mirror; my personal rule is y'gotta still be able to see the band on both sides.

I have a 7" wrist and prefer 40mm or under mostly. My 41mm GSAR is about as big as I like to go. 

I like watches of all sizes, but feel that 39-41mm is ideal for my 17cm (6.75") wrist. Of course, other factors come into play as well, such as lug-to-lug distance, height, bezel size, dial color, etc. The largest watch I have is a 46mm Hamilton Khaki Pilot, which is a bit too large for me, but is actually quite comfortable to wear.

My wrist is also 17cm (6.75") I made a rule that 50 lug to lug is max (if a watch is more it is cut) and divers or sport watches with wide bezel are okay up to 43, aviators up to 41, field and dress up to 40. 34 is the smallest to wear.

I have a 6.75" wrist, and I find 42mm is usually the max for me (with exceptions here and there). But I've been gravitating to smaller watches lately, 36-40mm. 

Like @witcher.watcher and @tempus I have a perfectly sized wrist. 50mm lug to lug is about as big as fits well, although 48mm usually fits better.

I think that we undervalue smaller watches. For example:

This is a mere 30mm. It has little to no bezel, so it is all dial. In fact, I have several 38mm watches with the same size dial. It is comfortable and easy to read.  And it is not boring.

6.75".  I'm good anywhere between 34 and 48mm, as long as the lugs are well under 50mm and the crown isn't jabby.

My smallest watch is also a 30mm (well actually 30.8), and I think it works great on my wrist. Lug to lug is only 36.4mm, and thickness is a mere 5.4mm. I know that this watch is scorned by many enthusiasts as being a fashion watch, but I think it looks killer.

I have a 7.5" wrist and I wear from 32mm to 50m.

WWII era 32mm Bulova military watch

50mm Pro Trek PRW2500 

As @Aurelian and others have pointed out, it is not just case diameter that determines wearability. Lug-to-lug, dial size, lug turn down, and bezel thickness all impact how a watch fits on a wrist. My 50mm Pro Trek fits my wrist better than the 45mm Bulova Lunar Pilot, which has a completely flat case. My 34mm Timex Marlin looks bigger on my wrist than my former 38mm SKX013. Of course, both fit and look are subjective, and these are my opinions on fit and look. 😄

A 41 mm wears very comfortable on my 7 1/2" wrist.  Not all of us posses that certain style that it takes to rock oversized watches.  

I love that Bulova (It seems I am a sucker for "field/military" watches the more I delve into the watch world)

Got a 7 1/4“ wrist. This big boy tries his best. Gotta cinch it up.

This is a good one when I need to speed out to Tashi Station for some power converters. 

8.25" wrist and I'm really considering getting a 55mm or 65mm flieger just as a funny watch. 

Awesome reference, I must say

I've got a 7.25 wrist and I find I really don't like the look of anything smaller than 38mm. And even then, it's push too small. Almost everything I wear is over 40mm.

I don’t enjoy buying g watches. I haven’t measured my wrist but 42 is the max for me. 

I do

But I also like small watches 

I have a slim 6.25" wrist and I own a couple of watches that are oversized for me but have no problem wearing. The first is my old ProTrek PRG-510 which used to be the one I wore when backpacking. I prefer wearing square G-Shocks now but the ProTrek is still very much in my collection.

The second watch that is oversized for me is the Bulova Accutron II. Here I have to admit that it was an online purchase and that I thought it was smaller. I still wear it frequently.

However my preferences are for wearing sub 40mm watches and that's the bulk of my collection.

Everybody is talking about sweet spot of watch size. Is it like a G spot but for watch enthusiasts?

I have been wearing pieces from 39-45mm in my collection. I have a 6.75"wrist but what really helps is a flat 55mm wrist span.  I haven't tried pieces below 39 yet but I am seeing a lot of good ones. Maybe someday, but not sure if those would not feel dainty on the wrist. My Sumo by far has the longest L2L at 52mm and 45mm case.

I have a 7.5" wrist, but tend to gravitate to watches inthe 38-42mm range - It's not hard and fast ofc. I tend to find that a lot fo the larger case diameters also tend to be quite thick, and I prefer watches that sit closer to the wrist (although the lugs and profile are more of a concern than absolute case size).

If I want to make my wife uncontrollably, I just pop on her Lady Datejust - it looks properly silly on my wrist.....

Crown on the left is my new requirement.  I've gotten a Boldr and a Serica recently that both do it nicely.  Sinn and Panerai both do it, but not across the lineup.  

There may be others, in which case I'm all ears.

I feel like 45 is fine for me @ 6.75".  That said, my last 3 purchases have been <39.

IMHO, 43mm, 44 mm is not oversized for my 8” wrist. Get up to an Invicta size (50 mm+)....

Oversized is all in the eye of the beholder (and relative to the size of your wrist). 😁

Yeah it's much nicer. I mostly aim for no crown at all. Then it's great on both wrists. I can wear it loose in the summer which is really damn nice. 

It's mostly just digital options but there are a few mechanical watches with a crown that pops in or out. I love digital anyways for the durability, convenience and features so it's no problem.

This Casio is probably the best digital watch ever made. For 160 bucks you get titanium (ultra light and comfy on the skin), solar, sapphire, radio controlled, excellent sizing and ultra wide/flat back for comfort. And digital timers and alarms which are super useful. It even has a great orange LED light which isn't as harsh on the eyes as many other options. 

44mm lug to lug. 38mm case. Or 40mm wide with the button guards. 9mm thick. And a pretty cool field watch styling. 

However if you get a band that's really flexible and very comfy and keeps the watch in place then I don't mind the crowns. Like this 5 dollar expanding bracelet which is the most comfy bracelet I own. 

And even if the watch slides down too far it's so much less painful than with a regular strap because the watch just slides outwards rather than jam itself into the top of the hand. 

I feel that a big fat Monaco fits ok on a smaller wrist like mine, 6" 
I'm amazed and happy by that.

I like a lot of oversize watch designs but the only oversize watches I actually buy are GShocks

Me too, have a 17cm wrist and don't like oversized watches. I gravitate toward 36 to 40mm.

But if you like big watches, so be it

I love 36 mm watches but I have a G shock of 44 mm and I enjoy to wear it in summer and in the sea or the pool
