Icon5 What Is The Perfect Wrist Size?

That is the question- If you could pick any wrist size, what would it be? How about shape? Curious what people say. I'm going to also post on PAM & Rolex forums.

It's the same as the the perfect shoe and hat size.

Mine. My watches have been sized to it.

Depends on how big or the shape you like your watches.

I like smaller watches but I have a thin, yet flat' 7" wrist. Round watches under 40mm look too small for my liking.

IMHO 7.5" wrist will have a wider variety of watch size to choose from.

Mine at 7-7.25". Pretty flat on top with no protruding bone. I can wear almost any watch between 36-48mm looking good!

I prefer 7". I think it is the best size for most popular watches.

I'd like to know what the average wrist size is. That's probably what they design their watches to fit.
