I have 8.5" wrists. I find that lug to lug length matters more for me. My biggest problem is getting strap/bracelets that actually fit! I'd say 90% of the factory bracelets that come on my watches either fit at the last and longest setting, or must get extra links added or replaced entirely. It can get expensive. I just bought a new Omega Aqua Terra Small Seconds in 41mm. I LOVE the watch, but lug to lug isn't very long. The factory rubber band that comes in it (which is really well made) only fits on the very last setting. It doesn't give me any additional adjustment that I will need if it is a hot day, etc. and I need to loosen it up a little bit. Omega told me that they sell an XL rubber band for that watch, but it's $225! With that type of watch, I want to keep it all factory, so I ponied up the extra money and got one on order.
One brand that I've had really good results with is Tissot. The factory butterfly clasp bracelets that come on their Gentleman series fit nicely. I was turned away at first because there is no micro-adjustment available, but a quartz model, being thinner, fits perfectly by removing one of the small links. The automatics (being thicker) fit perfectly in their untouched configuration. I've got three of those watches at this point, and have my eye out for one of their silver dials. I've got the blue, anthracite, and green already. Aside from the Omega, these are my absolutely favorite watches to wear.
