For me it is between 34mm and 41mm, and my personal sweet spot is probably 39mm. I don’t mind a larger watch if it is thin. I’m not keen on a top heavy brick 👍
For me anywhere between 34mm and 39mm and I know it'll be ok. I'll go beyond 39mm in rare circumstances but only if I've had the watch in hand first. The Seiko SNA413 is a prime example for me. Bigger than 39mm but with almost non existent lugs wears smaller.

Totally agree with you.
And my personal preference, for smaller watch I can't handle lug width smaller than 18mm.
My smallest is a 37mm Tag and I will go up to 50mm in my U-Boat or Hamilton with plenty of others in between. Although I stop wearing metal brackets once they get above 45mm as they start getting a bit weighty then.
Have a 37mm Orient digital and a 43mm Citizen chrono and i find 39 to 42mm are my comfort numbers, G-shock exemption of course.
I think alot of guys give g-shock the exception to their size rule. At least what I've seen here and other places. And you have to, there really is no petite g-shock.
This is my smallest: My Mathey-Tissot 34.5mm MT369 "almost explorer".
And this is my largest: My 38mm Cross WMA 01S chronograph.
How can a 38mm watch be larger than my 43.5mm Bulova Accutron II or even the 47mm ProTrek PRG-510GB? Easy. It has a semi rigid bracelet with fixed end links that extend its presence on the wrist way over 62mm.

38mm watch with 62mm length - that really is something else!

It really is something else, you can see from the photo that it looks as if someone locked an electronic manacle on my wrist. The watch is a gift I received sometime during the early 2000's and therefore I'm keeping it.

Yes it really has a perfect Y2K look, I'd keep it too
This little Ingersoll is 34mm. It looks tiny against other watches, but I think it's OK on my skinny wrist. I have a 42mm Sekonda that I really like, but is definitely a tad big for me. Maybe 36-40 is my sweet spot. I'm so glad the fashion for massive watches is passing, as they're just no good to me.
Yes, The Ingersoll Bison No. 18 - visualising it, miss it. Gave it to my 6'7" 260lb ex-international bouncer buddy as thought it would suit him better! Like a lost kid lol.

This is 29mm. It is about as small as I go for a round watch. 40mm seems about my upper limit.

30mm vs (42mm vs) 45mm
Smallest one is my 35mm Poljot deluxe, and the largest one a 43.5mm Planet Ocean. (Also got a 45mm radiomir Hommage, but that wears smaller).
I gotta say anything under 39mm feels like really small and disproportional. Even though my wrist is just around 173mm
Have a 37mm Orient digital and a 43mm Citizen chrono and i find 39 to 42mm are my comfort numbers, G-shock exemption of course.
36mm-42mm. it depends on the watch design, my biggest watch is my g shock around 44mm

I have a 35mm tag which I love and also enjoy my 43mm Tissot but love my Sinn 556 at 38.5 mm the most.
My smallest is my birth year Orient at 30mm.
Largest would be my g-shock steel at 55mm.
But these 2 are huge outliers and I generally try to stick to 39-43mm watches.
For me it's 39mm Vostok and 52mm Invicta

My smallest would be my 30.5mm Movado Museum quartz, and my largest would be my 46mm Hamilton Khaki Pilot.
Smallest: Timex Easy Reader with 35 mm case diameter
Largest: Bulova Adventurer with 44 mm case diameter. This watch is larger than I would typically go for but I thought I would try something different.
If I think about it later when I am at home, I will share a picture of the two watches together.

@whitesalmon I like your style. I have been eyeing that Timex Marlin.

I had this was probably my biggest...none of the girls mentioned smallest!
