Watches that fit a 8-inch wrist

A 8" (20.3 cm) wrist is about 63 mm across the top. A watch looks right when its lugs stop a couple of millimeters short of each edge, so aim for a lug-to-lug of 59 mm or less.

Questions

What size watch fits a 8-inch wrist?
A 8" wrist is about 63 mm across its flat top. Watches up to roughly 59 mm lug-to-lug fit well; case diameter matters less than lug-to-lug.
Is a 8-inch wrist small?
It is larger than average, so bigger sports watches that overhang smaller wrists will sit well on yours.
