Size Guide
Picking the right size watch is about personal preference and style, but as a general guide we collected the main considerations below and we also have numerous model pictures on the product pages to show how the watches look on wrists. First measure your wrist circumference with an open hand and a flexible tape or string. Then, consider the watch's case diameter, ensuring it doesn't exceed your wrist width, and its lug-to-lug distance, making sure the lugs don't extend beyond your wrist's edges. Finally, account for personal style and preference, as well as the watch's case thickness and overall weight, which can affect how it feels and sits on your wrist.
1. Measure Your Wrist
-
Use an open hand: Your wrist is larger when your hand is open, so measure it in this position.
-
Use a flexible tape or string: Wrap the tape or string around the part of your wrist where you wear your watch.
-
Note the measurement: Record the circumference in millimeters (mm) or inches.
2. Check the Watch's Case Diameter and Lug-to-Lug Distance
-
Case Diameter: This is the watch's width, excluding the crown. A good rule of thumb is that the watch's case diameter should be about 5mm narrower than your wrist's width.
-
Lug-to-Lug Distance: This is the measurement from the end of one lug to the other. The watch's lugs should not extend past the edges of your wrist.
-
Consider watch shape: Non-round watches, like rectangular or tonneau shapes, can appear larger than their rated size.
Consider Case Thickness and Personal Style
-
Case Thickness: A very thick watch can feel awkward or wobbly on the wrist.
-
Personal Style: The right size is also subjective; some people prefer larger, bolder watches, while others prefer a more understated look.
-
Purpose: The intended use of the watch, whether for formal or casual wear, can also influence your size choice.
