Poll on men's wrist size

The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to see if there's a correlation between the average wrist size and most popular dial size.

Thanks in advance.

7.75". Wear a Sub but would also wear a 36mm DJ/OP. Don't really like to go bigger than the Sub.

7in here. I think 40mm is a sweet spot for me with sport models. I can wear up to 44mm without the lugs overhanging and 'fitting', but it aesthetically doesn't look as good as 40mm. OTOH 38mm is preferred on dress pieces.

Poll on men's wrist size

Little over 7 and prefer models 36-40mm. To me, its more where the lug ends sit. Never wider than my wrist.

6.75", and 40mm is the largest I go now on any future watches. Would love a 36mm Explorer at some point.

A flat 6.75 for me. 36-40mm is my sweet spot. I'll do some 41s (like the Black Bay) and certain 42s (like the Speedy) but that's my absolute max.

I currently am rocking a SubC date and a 16570 Polar Exp II.

I don't have a measuring tape handy, so I literally used tape and a ruler...But I polled in at 6.75" for my Daytona at 39mm...I don't really have a specific size preference yet; but I do not want anything smaller than my Daytona.
