36mm

I think it sounds small

I have 7.25inch wrist and my smallest watch is probably 39mm

Then again it's your choice...

If you can try it on and I hope it works for you

It's nice to wear a smaller watch cause you don't feel it on your wrist and it's usually lighter and more comfortable. If you like the way it looks go for it :)

36mm looks stupid on a man IMO.

1. Wrist Circumference is only part of the consideration - wrist shape also plays a part in how a watch size wears. A less round and more flat wrist will accomodate larger watches well, whereas a rounder wrist will better suit smaller watches.
2. Does it matter? If you like the watch - whatever the size - wear it. That said - huge carbuncle sized watches on any wrist just looks try-hard. You can't say that of a wearer of any smaller looking watch :-)

Without any context that's just a very weird opinion.

If you have wrists typical of a fully developed muscular man, 36mm look too small. 36mm looks ok on an adult woman, or a skinny weak man.  

Issues with masculinity of some sorts?

The Greatest would beg to differ. 
 

Watch is a such personal taste thing, there are watches out there disgust me but other people went crazy about. IMO, 36mm looks great if it is a dressy watch fitting wrist size <7“. and what’s wrong with man having small wrist size?

36mm used to be a standard size for men’s watches. Wear whatever size you want. If someone wants to criticize it, that’s their problem. Hell, Clark Gable’s OP was only 32mm.

Also, I would point out that we don’t take to this sort of thing on here. We’re all here because it’s a place where you don’t find or have to put up with this sort of talk. If you want to be aggro, please go find another forum. 

It is a personal opinion about what you thinks looks good on you. You won't be mocked by big burley folks with their enormous wrist sun dials.

Watch sizes are trending smaller for men and larger for women.  I wear vintages that are 30mm or smaller.  My wrist is smaller than yours, but it scales.  If you find yourself looking at mostly strap, you will know to bump it up to 38mm.  Lug configuration can make a watch wear larger or smaller.  I am not skinny (I may have to own "weak") and 32mm-38mm is the sweet spot for my wrist.  I would wear a larger chronograph.

Exactly. Watches above 36mm were considered comically huge not too long ago.

The big-watch-trend started in the 2000s was just an extreme spike in one direction and is starting to fade away nowadays. Panerai is very successfuly with their 40mm watches and Rolex went back to the historically correct 36mm with their updated EX1.

Nowadays you have the choice to wear whatever you like and suits you.

This thread fails to disappoint. 

I wear 34-36mm on the regular (mostly Tags as dailys), and I have relatively chunky wrists. Zero f’s given. Here is a selection, I have nothing to hide, judge me all you want.

For most of my watch collecting life 36mm was the norm. I think it looks just fine. I even have a 34mm Timex Marlin that looks fine on my manly 7 1/4 inch wrist. When coupled with a manly Speidel Romunda bracelet it makes the wearer a force to be reckoned. So take this Mr. Underscore.

Whatever you do - dont f listen to other peoples opinions about size.

I have 19cm wrist and wear a 36mm as my daily - Classic, understated and comfortable.

If you like it, wear it, nomatter if it 36 or 46mm.

like what the above have said, YOU DO YOU! I have seen the opposite - people with slender wrists but wearing 45mm watches. They look weird to me, but seriously, I would always support their choices as long as it is what they LOVE. watches are very personal decisions - like my mum would never understand why I would still refuse to throw away my Mickey Mouse watch that I wore as a child, and I still wear it out sometimes just for fun as a 40 year old guy!

if you wear it and feel good about it, then it is YOURS. it is your on your wrist, not theirs. 

A watch can never be too small. A watch can only be too large, if the lug to lug distance overhangs on your wrist. 
That being said, people who recently got into watches are wearing ridiculously large watches. Nowadays a dress watch is 36-40mm and a sports watch is 40-43mm but this is just to attract new people and sell.

Besides, anyone who knows anything about watches knows how ”wrong” it is to have a 40mm watch as a dress watch. If you like small go for small. 

You also sound quite elitist.
