I like it.

A 4.5 ratio on my 7 1/8 inch wrists puts me at a 40-41mm watch which is exactly what I prefer.

Furthermore your upper and lower range would equate to 36mm to 45mm, which would be extremes for me.

Well done.
 
For the other extreme, I'm pretty sure a 50mm watch will look disproportionately on any wrist, even an 8-incher, even though this formula puts a 50mm watch into the "normal" size range.
I don't know about that. There are a few guys on this forum with 8" to 8.5" wrists, and I was quite surprised how small a 40mm to 42mm watch looked on them. I think these guys could easily wear 50mm. And don't forget that 50mm would be at the upper end of the 8" wrist size.

This is coming from someone who generally thinks large watches are silly. I have been recently convinced that there is a place for large watches - on large wrists.
