I have a Sub, Air-king, GMT master II and a Tudor Oyster. I find them all
comfortable. Then 3 months ago I purchased a Polar Explorer II (16570),
now that is a very comfortable watch, I really like the Polar and find myself
wearing it 24/7 because it is so comfortable.

Exp II 42mm. I have or have had basically every Rolex sports watch from subs, to GMTs, Daytonas, SeaDwellers, etc. The Exp II 42 is by far the most comfortable i have ever owned. it doesnt wear as big as it sounds and the flat case back makes for realy seamless wearing.

IMO Sub. I have owned an Explorer II and a Daytona but the Explorer feels just right. Could not be happier.

Exp II 16570. Thinner case than the Subs. Recent maxi case watches feel rather top heavy in comparison.

Both are great, but my ExpII feels a lot more comfortable than my SubC. Not that the Sub is uncomfortable, but the ExpII is definitely more comfortable. Now I have large wrists, so maybe the larger case size is the key to this?

Out of ones I have worn as daily wearers...I would say Daytona and YM (1) have been the most comfortable.

Between my sub and GMT, I would go for the GMT. It has a lower profile and the clasp is smaller.

My Explorer II is my most comfortable watch. I hate to say it but my Milgauss that I used to own was the least.

The sub/GMT/Daytona all are super comfortable to me. The EXP2 (42) is surprisingly comfortable for its size.

My Explorer II. I sometimes forget it's on my wrist. The 40mm Explorer II is unbelievably comfortable.
