Why it is wise to choose a watch after measuring wrist size?

Posted by COEN ANDERS on July 31st, 2019

Oversized watches can be quite embarrassing for you. Imagine this-

You are at the office and someone asks you the time. You raise your hand to tell them the time and they see an oversized watch on your hand. Will you be comfortable with the sight? If you are not going to then you must know how to measure wrist size for watches. Once you have known the procedure then you can easily purchase the right watch for you.

Your watch size will be depending on your wrist size-

We, humans, tend to maintain the balance and so the above sentence is not an odd one at all. This would mean that if you have a small wrist then you will need a small watch and the vice versa. Breaking this further we can divide it into Watch case diameter, thickness, bandwidth, band material and the watch details and other components.

Knowing about case diameter-

This is the noticeable element and must be considered if you are performing a measure of the wrist for the watch. Men’s watches range from 38mm to 46mm and therefore anything above 46mm is too large. Likewise, anything below 38mm is more of jewellery and can be the size of women’s size watches. So how will you know what size will work for you? For this, you should measure your wrist. You can use a measuring tape or hacks like a dollar bill that you can wrap around the wrist. If your wrist measures 6 to 7 inches then you can choose watches with diameter cases of 38mm, 40mm and 42mm. One of the reasons to choose the right diameter watches is that the thickness of the watch will too increase along with the diameter.

Therefore, once you have measured the watch size for wrist, the right diameter watch must be chosen else you will end buying a thick watch.

Check for watch bandwidth-

A properly chosen watch has a bandwidth that is half of its case diameter. This means that if you are wearing a 40mm watch then its width is likely to be 20mm. So if you are in love with wider bands only then you must choose a bigger diameter watch.

It is also interesting to note that the metal of the bands also impacts the look. So if you are looking for a bulky watch then you can go with a metal watchband.

So if the choice of a good watch is your preference then all the above elements along with your choice will work wonders.
