Watch Sizing: wrist size vs. body size

What do people generally think, should the size of your watch be appropriately proportioned to the size of your body or the size of your wrist?

Maybe I'm over thinking this but i'm 6 feet, 205 pounds ...... anddddd I have a 6.7 inch wrist.

A 39mm 15300 looks perfect on my wrist, but soooo small when compared to the rest of me.

Anyone else have this dilemma?

I'd go for the wrist only...people may notice your watch, but no one is going to really compare it to your overall stature. There's enough to consider already when buying a watch, without throwing that one into the mix.

^^ just a tad big. Hypothetical lugs extending below the waist is a huge no no.

Assuming you don't have the proportions of Mr Happy i'm sure you're all good.

Wrist size should have appropriate watch size IMHO
