WATCH SIZE GUIDE
Choosing the right watch is all about finding the perfect fit – both in terms of style, size, and comfort.
Several elements influence your watch choice, including wrist size, case diameter, case thickness, strap thickness, and material.
Each factor plays a role in ensuring that your watch fits comfortably and complements your build.
HOW tO FIND THE PERFECT FITTING WATCH?
- Measure Your Wrist Circumference: Use a tape measure or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your wrist where you plan to wear the watch.
- Choose Your Fit: Decide if you want a tight, normal, or loose fit.
- Consider the Case Size: Pick a case diameter that suits your wrist circumference for a proportional aesthetic.
- Select Your Design: The strap material and case shape will affect the overall look and feel.
- Check the Specifications: Look at the product page for the wrist size range to ensure a proper fit.
- Try It On: When you receive the watch, test the fit before removing any packaging.
If it’s leather and it doesn’t fit, exchange it for a different style. If it’s steel, you’ll most likely have to remove e few links in the bracelet to achieve the best fit.
1. MEASURE YOUR WRIST
The “no tape measure” method.
- Take a string or piece of paper
- Wrap it around your wrist
- Mark the overlap with a pen
- Unwrap the string and measure the distance between the marks in cm.
The result is your wrist’s EU size.
The average man's wrist is 7” (18 cm).
2. CHOOSE YOUR FIT
Tight Fit: Ideal for sports and active environments where a snug fit is essential.
Normal Fit: Provides comfort for everyday wear, without feeling too tight.
Loose Fit: Suitable for casual settings or warmer weather when your wrist may swell slightly.
3. CHOOSE YOUR CASE SIZE/DIAMETER
- The case size should complement your wrist for the best visual appeal. A larger case may look bulky on a small wrist, while a smaller case could appear too delicate on a larger wrist.
- Small to Medium Wrists (15-17.5 cm): Aim for case diameters around 34-40 mm.
- Average Men's Wrists (17.5-19 cm): Cases in the 40-42 mm range offer a balanced look.
- Large Wrists (over 20 cm): Choose cases between 42-46 mm for a more proportional appearance.
Case thickness also affects the look – thicker cases can make the watch appear larger, while thinner cases give a more understated style.
4. CHOOSE YOUR DESIGN
Your choice of design plays a key role in how your watch fits your wrist and style. Here’s a quick guide to different shapes and materials.

5. CHECK WRIST SIZE RANGE
Always measure your wrist where you want to wear the watch and compare it with the recommended range provided on the product page.

6. TRY IT ON
Once your watch arrives, try it on before removing any packaging to check the fit.
Make sure it feels comfortable and sits properly on your wrist. If it’s a leather or rubber strap and you can’t get the desired fit, consider exchanging it for a different style that better suits your wrist.
If it’s a steel bracelet, you may have to remove some links or adjust the clasp to get the perfect fit.
