THIS IS HOW TO FIND A WATCH THAT FITS YOUR WRIST
Watch Studio Lovers, choosing a watch is not just about design or brand, but also about how the watch fits our wrist. The right watch size and proportions can make the look more balanced, comfortable to wear, and of course, more stylish. Here are some important tips for finding a watch that suits your wrist.
First, Measure Your Wrist Circumference
The first step is to know your wrist size. You can use a tape measure or string to measure your wrist circumference, then compare it with the following guide:
-
14 - 16 cm : Small
-
16 - 17 cm : Medium
-
17 - 19 cm : Large
-
19 cm and above : Very Large
Knowing this size will greatly help you in choosing the appropriate watch case diameter later on.

Second, Match the Watch Case Diameter to Your Wrist Size
Generally, the larger the wrist, the larger the watch case diameter that fits. A general size guide is as follows:
-
14 - 16 cm : Case diameter 34mm - 38mm
-
16 - 17 cm : Case diameter 38mm - 42mm
-
17 - 19 cm : Case diameter 42mm - 44mm
-
19 cm and above : Case diameter 44mm - 46mm or more
Indeed, the ideal ratio of diameter to wrist size is as follows. However, ultimately, it comes down to your personal preference. Choose what you like.

Third, Pay Attention to Case Thickness
A watch that is too thick can look "heavy" if you have a small wrist, and too thin can look disproportionate on a large wrist. For those with small wrists, choose a watch with a thickness of 6-10mm, while for those with large wrists, you can choose a watch with a thickness of more than 10mm.

Fourth, Choose a Proportional Strap Width
The ideal strap width is about half the case diameter. So, if your watch's case diameter is 40mm, then a proportional strap width would be about 20mm. A strap that is too wide or too small can disrupt the overall aesthetic balance and make your wrist uncomfortable.

Fifth, Try it on and Feel the Comfort
Nothing is more convincing than trying on a watch directly on your wrist. Notice if the watch feels too loose, too heavy, or very comfortable. Feel how the watch blends with your style and daily life. By trying it on, you can be more confident in your choice, especially for those who have never or rarely worn a watch before.
