What size watch should I choose for my wrist ?

Which watch will fit my wrist size? When you want to buy a watch, you might wonder what size to choose based on your wrist, especially when buying online. This question is perfectly legitimate, as a watch is an integral part of our daily life. A very thick watch with a large diameter on a small wrist will tend to make it look heavier. Conversely, a small and thin watch A watch that fits a large wrist won't be suitable either. Therefore, the size of your watch is an important factor to consider before buying one, and in this article, we'll try to help you make the right choice.

Measure your wrist

Take a measuring tape and measure the circumference of your wrist. If you don't have one, take a piece of string, wrap it around your wrist, and then measure the circumference against a ruler. To help you if you're unsure, a woman's wrist typically measures between 14 and 18 cm in circumference, while a man's is usually between 15 and 19 cm. Once you've measured your wrist, we can move on to the next step.

Choose the appropriate watch diameter

  • For a wrist of 15cm or less, we recommend a watch with a small dial and a diameter of Case up to 36mm. 
  • For a wrist circumference between 15 and 17 cm, one Case For watches between 28mm and 38mm, it will fit like a glove. 
  • For a wrist circumference between 16 and 18cm, choose the CaseWatch models with a diameter between 36 and 44 mm. All our men's watches are included within this range. 
  • If your wrist circumference is greater than 19 cm, you can opt for... Cases for larger watches ranging from 42mm to 50mm  

Other elements to consider

  • Diameter is an important factor to consider when buying a watch, but you should also consider the lug-to-lug measurement. The lugs are the small attachments on which THE Strapwatch s are fixed. Our advice is that the lugs should not extend beyond your wrist. This could create an impression of overloading. So, if you have a slender wrist, opt for a watch with a small dial, like our women's watch. Sully. 
  • Also consider the thickness of the watch. For the same watch diameter, a thicker watch will have a larger volume and appear much more imposing than a very thin one.

Not all the proportions we've just mentioned are set in stone! If a watch If it doesn't have the size and proportions mentioned earlier, but you find it fits your wrist perfectly, follow your instincts. A watch should first and foremost appeal to the wearer! And if you're still undecided, the best thing to do is visit a store to try on different watch models and form your own opinion.
