Between B and C. 38 to 40.

This is very similar to the grading scale I use. Go for the A!

·

Agree with gbelleh. 38-40 is perfect for me

·

This is a little tricky. Some larger cases wear smaller due to lug to lug size. But usually for me it's 40 to 45. I like larger watches.

·

I am not fussy. I will wear 30mm through to 45mm, depending on the watch. I find many people get confused as to what is going on sub 34mm, but anything over 42mm can get uncomfortable in terms of the crown/wrist interface.

The crown doesn't bother me because I'm a psychopath. I wear my watch on the right(wrong) hand.

There is no wrong way to wear a watch.

Small is light and you hardly know its there while catching on nothing..

I simply want the time without flex and complications. I also got a Tissot Powermatic 80 for $175.00 USD. You can't buy a Swiss 2824-2 movement for that let alone the 80 hour upgrade.

Seeing how my 5 watches span from A to D... I did not vote. I guess if I had to choose I'd go with B.

·

Sort of depends: are you talking with bezel or all dial watches? My answer would change. 
 

Watches with bezel: around 40mm

Watches that are all dial: around 36mm

and then there’s the influence of lug to lug..! 👀

This but 36-42mm

·

For me, personally:

Dress watch: 34mm and under.

Sports watch: 35mm-38mm.

Anything outside of this is good, but slightly less than ideal.

Now I have a strong opinion that all dress watches should be 36mm or less in diameter. Rare exceptions can be made for up to 38mm if the case makes it appear smaller, like a cushion style case.
