Watch Size Guide: Finding Your Fit

Measuring Your Wrist

Use flexible tape or paper strip. Measure around wrist bone. Note measurement in millimeters. This determines appropriate case size.

Case Diameter Guidelines

Small wrists suit 36-40mm cases. Medium wrists wear 40-44mm well. Large wrists can carry 44mm and above. Lug-to-lug matters more than diameter.

Lug-to-Lug Distance

Measures case length including lugs. Should not overhang wrist edges. More important than case diameter alone. Check this measurement before buying.

Thickness Considerations

Thinner cases look dressier. Sports watches tend thicker. Consider shirt cuff clearance. Balance with overall proportions.
