Going for my bonus point. 45mm Casio Edifice on a 6.25 wrist

Actually I'm not sure if it's 45mm, the spec say it's 49mm which is not possible that it still fits my wrist...

The largest watch in my collection is the 2020 Accutron Spaceview. It's 43.5mm in diameter. I have 7.5" wrists and they're relatively flat. 64mm wide by 42mm tall. I find 38-42 really is the sweet spot for watches, the Accutron is as big as I would go.

6.3, 39mm. Largest I would go is a 40mm Daytona, which I think is actually 39mm or thereabouts.

I have a 6.5-inch wrist but sometimes wear a 49mm Seiko Tuna, which doesn't have lugs so the wrist space covered means you can still see a bracelet link either side of the case. I also have a couple of 32mm vintage pieces. If you like a watch, wear it.

The largest watch I own is a 42mm Speedy Pro. My wrist is 6.25. I only wear large watches that have obvious tool/sport functions so that the size is a moot point regardless of wrist size. Otherwise, I stick to 36-40.

Pam 176 on 6’75” flat wrist. I like larger watches but this pushes a bit too far. Being titanium helps with the wear though and I really like the simplicity. 40-42mm is my preferred range

Admittedly not an everyday wearer. My original 55mm WWII Laco B-uhr FL23883. Meant to be worn over a flight jacket, not on a skinny 7 inch wrist…

Congrats on the incoming! Hope you enjoy and wear in good health! Seiko has released some great watches lately. I keep finding myself looking at their catalog and contemplating the next one.
