Your Wrist Size Matters
First and foremost, yes, size does matter in watches. Still, this is not about following a strict guideline of unchangeable rules but about what feels right for you. The first thing to keep in mind is the circumference of your wrist. This is not just a number that you should simply guess; this is going to be the very foundation of your watch-wearing experience.
Smaller Wrists (6.5 – 6.75 inches): If your wrist size is between 6.5 and 6.75 inches, 36mm is perfect for them. There is this bizarre myth that a 36mm watch is only for ladies, which is entirely untrue. Many men with smaller wrists will feel more comfortable and balanced with a 36mm watch. This is all about finding what works and feels best for you.
Medium Wrists (7 – 7.5 inches): For a wrist size of around 7 inches, a couple of options are open to you. You could go neat and compact with a 36mm watch or ramp it up with a 40mm watch that bears a slightly larger face. The size of 40mm will add some more weight to your wrist without being overpowered, but most people with wrists nearing 7.5 inches will prefer a 42mm watch instead.
Larger Wrists (7.5 inches and above): If your wrist measures bigger than 7.5 inches, we recommend you go big! In between 42mm and 44mm, watches will feel perfect on your wrist. These larger watches are going to give a bold and commanding presence that is for sure going to make a statement. But remember, just because you have a large wrist doesn’t mean your watch has to be so big it overpowers everything else.
Quick Tips for Choosing the Right Watch Size
- Try Before You Buy: The best thing to do is try several different size options on your wrist. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
- Consider The Case Thickness: It’s not just the diameter that mattersーcase thickness will also play its fair part in comfort. A thicker case might feel more powerful but could also be less comfortable to wear day in and day out.
- Lug-to-Lug Distance: This is the distance between the two extremities of the watch case. For a perfectly balanced look, it should not go past your wrists’ edges.
Pay attention to the bracelet or strap. The width and style will also affect how the watch feels on the wrist. A wider strap might provide more stability, while a slimmer one can offer a lighter, more delicate look.
