I have the series 7 41mm. I feel like it’s too small. My wife says it looks ok lol. I’m used to 44-45mm dive watches.
What do you all think?

41mm too small?

I think it looks fine on your wrist. Looks like it almost sits flush with the top and bottom of your wrist. Don’t really want it to overlap.
It's hard to tell from a wrist shot like that, that perspective is going to make a watch look bigger on your wrist. Do your 44-45mm dive watches fit on your wrist without overhang (including the lugs)? Do you like how that size watch looks on you? If the answer is yes to both those questions, then 1) I don't understand why you got a 41mm AW to begin with; and 2) the 45mm AW would fit your wrist just fine.
They don’t overhang. They are flush. This is a 45mm.
I’m just so used to big watches 41mm feels so small.

It looks fine. But if you like the look of large dive watches, then the 41 mm isn't giving you that. And it does look like the 45 mm would fit you as well.
Nothing wrong with considering looks, but (personally) I would say ignore the looks and ask about function. Which feels more comfortable on your wrist with extended wear? Do you need/like the 45 mm for easier readability/interactivity? Does the 41 mm's lighter weight feel better if you're using it when doing sports? Etc., etc.

Again, it's hard to tell from that perspective, but IMO you are right on the edge of that being too big. In the end though, all that matters is what size watch appeals to YOU. In general, 99% of people don't notice what watch you have on, and the other 1% don't care.
If you exclusively wear the 41mm AW I think you'll get used to the size. If the AW is part of a rotation with your dive watches, then I think the 41mm might always seem small to you.
