Compared to what, Big Ben? Yes. For most wrist sizes? No.

Age 66. Yes 40mm is way too small. In fact, a lady asked if it was a woman's watch (it was a TT SubC). I would gladly trade it in for the TT SD at 43mm.

Easy there. Desiring a couple more mm isn’t going towards an Invicta.

I’d say a lot. I do not know of one person who’s male under the age 35 desiring anything less than a 40mm.

Tudor 58, DJ36, 39mm explorer? Plenty of them.

Yes there are lots. Like I said "personally" I do not know many guys rocking a DJ36 or would desire to. If you like small watches, cool. But many people don't this day and age.

To be fair, some watches “wear” larger than the actual dimensions.

I’d only EVER go bigger than 40 if my eyes couldn’t read the time on it any longer. Bigger is garish UNLESS the reason is for legit function.

Too small? People should start wearing a clock on their wrist then.

40mm is the ideal size amongst most individuals.

Too big for me!!!

I have a 5-series sub and it's the largest watch I would ever wear.

My daily is 31mm!
