Best rectangular watches for a 5.5-inch wrist

A 5.5" wrist is about 43.3 mm across, so a rectangular watch fits it best up to 39.3 mm lug-to-lug. 17 we've measured do, from the Seiko SWR103 at 39 mm down to the Seiko SWR083 at 33.1 mm. Largest first, so you see the most wrist presence that still fits.
