I plan to hand my watches down to my kids when the time is right. With my wrist size, I'm able to wear 40mm-43mm size watches. Now from what I can tell, it looks like my kids will be bigger and taller than I am. So the question is, does a person only buy the biggest possible watch size they are able to wear in order to ensure that the next generation will wear them? It would kill me if the watches were just placed in a safe because the new owners feel the watch is too small. I don't know the specifics, but I know every generations is getting bigger than the previous.

Thanks,
G

I think it is unlikely that a watch in the 40-43mm size would be too small on anyone. I hope the trend changes back to smaller watches as I prefer 39mm or smaller.

I don't think 40mm is too small or will be in the future.

The trend is actually reversing. Back in 2008, watches pushing 50mm were fashionable and trendy, but now it is coming back to 42-44mm.

Yes, absolutely right. For me I think watches should be at 36-46mm range for now and even the future. (only not for Sylvester Stallone)

I think 40 mm to 46 mm. The 50 mm watches are too much for me.

No idea, but I hoping in 18 to 20 years time, my daughter will appreciate a 42mm watch?
