Theere are many enthusiasts here use 36mm as their ideal size and that's fine, but there are others amongst us think that is too small for the current era.
There was a time it seemed when the market was flooded with 44mm beasts and rightfully many of us saw a massive difference, but sizes seem to have fallen to an average 39-42mm, which I consider wears perfectly for the average 7.5cm wrist.
Thats all before we start discussing depth, dial size, bezel versus no bezel, materials etc. Your equation is only a small factor in the overall scheme of things.
