7.3 inch bony wrist. 40mm vintage is my sweet spot but the Pelagos at 42 wears nice because of the case shape.
Case shape and case back more important than size on my wrist. Vintage wear better on me because of the flatter backs.
Been dress watch shopping and 36mm wears to small for my current taste. Need to try some 39mm dress watches.

Wrist size 6 3/4 inch and used to explorer 2 which is 42mm. Does it look bigger for my wrist?
Also you can see explorer 2 in action

I have a 6.75" flat wrist and a 34mm is my personal perfect size.

Best,

Choices of people varies very widely. People with exactly same size wrist prefer wider range of dials. Amazing. Personal preference, nature of the wrist and also size of previous watches and others contribute for this wide variation.

7" wrist. 40mm is the smallest I would consider, have watches all the way up to 48mm which look and feel good imo
