Giveaway: ELYSEE European Automatic Watch

40-44mm is great would love this watch

so how did it go? who's the lucky winner? ;)

42 mm is my Ideal size , but depending on the watch itself 40 - 44 mm will do the job !!! Thanks for the opportunity ...

I think 42mm is the perfect size, I think most modern watches tend to be a little bigger and I'm not a big vintage watch fan, so I like more modern watches, and I think 42 is the perfect size so you don't have a huge watch that draws too much attention.

Panerai 44mm is the perfect size. case closed lol

Around 35mm depending on the style.

The Elysee European Automatic with a Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement, happens to be the perfect width size for my wrist at 42mm.

Personally 40mm is great for my wrist/ cuff size

My favorite watch is my 44mm Glycine. It's big enough to have some impact without looking like a misused desk clock.

I really like the 42mm size. At this size it doesn't get mistaken for a ladies watch and yet it doesn't look like I'm wearing a hockey puck either.

With very small wrists, I would prefer a watch diameter ranging 38mm-44mm (for sporty designed watches)

Perfect size ranges for me from about 40mm up to 44mm depending on the style of watch.

42mm is perfect for my wrist.

I would say a 40mm is about the right size for my wrist. Anything smaller seems too small.

40mm is my favorite, but I have plenty of others, 38, 42, 44, and love them all.

40mm is perfect for me

38 to 42 mm is about my size but I like free things and will be proud to wear it whatever it is.

The first watch I was given as a present for graduation is an Omega @ 40.5mm. Ive tried on IWC Portugueses which is 42.5mm and its simply too big. 40.5 is the perfect size for me

I think the perfect watch size for me is 39mm. But I like anything from 36-43mm. :)

I'm a big dude so for me 43-45mm is perfect, although sometimes a challenge with dress shirts. I have an old Tag Formula 1 that now feels like a kid's watch!

42-45mm depending on the design.

The biggest watch I can get away with is a 40mm, though I do love a larger watch (44-50mm)

Depends on the bezel, watches with a thicker one sholud be at around 41-43 mm, but with a slimmer design 39-41 is the ideal for me.

Smaller watches for me, 39-40mm

42 - 44mm are the perfect widths for my wrist, although more important to me is height, with 16.5 mm the tallest watch I would wear.

40mm is perfect for my wrist

It really depends on the watch but in general I'd go for 42mm.

I just Like watches in general, 44mm to 50mm is usually right in My comfort zone. I do own 2 watches on the smaller side 38mm and they look small on My wrist. If I truly like something it really does not matter to me, I'll wear it with pride!

my ideal size is 40 mm

perfect width for me would be 46mm, like my Oris Swiss Hunter Team!

Hi, perfect size for me is 40 - 42 mm. noticable yet doesn't look like it could be used as an offensive weapon to club anyone with.

42mm

I go between 38 and 44, but my B-1 at 42.5 seems the best fit.

I got small wrists. Anywhere from a 38-42 look decent. Any bigger and I'm a kid playing dress-up.

I have gigantic monkey wrists... a 47 is right at home. But anything over 40 feels good.

For day to day use, ideal is up to 45mm. When flying VFR it must have high clarity and preferably quickly readable minutes.

As most have commented, the "Perfect" size can vary greatly depending on the style of the watch, the band width, the bezel, and the overall "look" of the watch. That being said, I feel that a 40mm is about ideal for my wrist size. I think this particular watch would look OUTSTANDING on my wrist.

I prefer 40mm on a dress watch and 42mm or 44mm my other watches

I don't like the latest tendence for an oversized watches (by oversized I mean 44+mm). Even though I have thick wrists, I prefer case diameters between 39 and 41mm.

I prefer 38-40mm. Subtlety is a good thing.

On my smaller Arms a 40mm ELYSEE Watch fits perfect!

Interesting this perfect width business. Styles come and go and even though I've got a few jumbos (44+), I took great pleasure in showing off a tiny Certina DS with black dial at a recent meeting (36'ish). I surreptitiously rolled up my shirt sleeve and shocked the other manly participants, who had such heavy watches on that they found it hard to lift their watch arms. Maybe 40 is the perfect width for my wrist today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring!

Great blog Ariel, keep taking the medicine...

I prefer 42mm in a watch, not too big, not too small. It depends on the style of the watch though, smaller for a dress watch, 42 for sport/dive.

I find casual watches can be a bit larger on my wrist, 44mm is good but dressy watches look better a bit smaller, I have a 40mm Oris Artelier that looks just right.

Everything between 38 and 44 is ok for me. Probably 42mm is the perfect. Im sure this ELYSEE with its 40mm would look good on my wrist :)

Great watch, about 42mm would work for me.

40 to 43. The more formal the situation the smaller the diameter, larger for casual. Big watch in a suit just doesn't look right on me as I don't have the biggest wrists. I hate suits anyways, so I'm most likely wearing 42s to 43s.

I like the hands and the date window- the both have a rounded theme - just like the perfectly circle case.

I think 40-42mm is perfect for me!
