How to choose a wrist size watch

How to choose wrist watch by wrist size

 

Imagine you found the perfect model - you like the color, the excellent design, the quality is beyond doubt, the price is right, and then you put the watch on your wrist, and you realize - something is wrong. Familiar? This is a sense of imbalance, disharmony. The human eye is arranged in such a way that we notice if something is in disproportion. The size of the watch does not fit your wrist.

If the watch has a size, like, for example, clothes? You understand the volume of your body, you clearly know what size trousers or T-shirts suits you, and the search for clothes tapers to the right size. Whether such a principle works with the clock, and what should be taken into account when buying the right-sized clock, we will discuss this article.

 

Proportions and sizes of wrist

 

All people intuitively seek a visual balance. To rely on the right proportions is an instinct, whether it be balancing icons on a laptop desktop or building a house.

Usually, all are limited by the rule: the smaller the wrist, the less you need a watch, and vice versa, if you have a large wrist, you will fit a larger clock.

 

Let's break this rule into component components to understand, less or more - this is how much mm and by what parameter?

And so, what is important to consider when determining the size of a clock:

 

Diameter of the dial

 

This is the most obvious and noticeable parameter of the clock. Men's watches usually fluctuate in size from 38 to 46 mm. All that over 46 mm looks deliberately large, and is usually designed for thematic suits or extravagant outfits. All that is less than 38 mm, is equated to jewelry or is already lightweight female models.

In order to know the size of the dial, suitable for you, measure your wrist centimeter tape. 15-16.5 centimeters - you have a small or medium size. Diameter of the dial for you should be within 38-42 mm. If the wrist has a length of 17 to 19 centimeters, which is considered to be a large size, the proportional diameter of the dial will be 44-46 mm.

 


Body height

 

The height of the dial, directly depends on the diameter of the case. Earlier, when mechanical watches were monopolists, the slim body was considered an indicator of quality, craftsmanship. Now, with the advent of automatic and quartz models, this rule is leveled. However, the general recommendation is that when the diameter of the housing is increased or decreased, the height varies proportionally. For a diameter of 38-42 mm, the standard height is about 6-7 mm. Models with a large diameter have a body height of approximately 9 mm. For you, the most suitable height of the case will be the one that the watch has with the right dial diameter.

 


Band Width

 

Standard, the strap size is 1/2 the diameter of the dial. If your watch has a diameter of 42 mm, the ideal strap to this model should be 21 mm. This rule provides the proportions as close as possible to the ideal. If you have picked up a watch that suits you in all respects, but the strap size does not correspond to half the diameter of the dial, visually assess how critical it is for you. Perhaps a few millimeters to the greater or lesser side, will not become so noticeable.

 



Band material for watch

 

Perhaps you were surprised to see in the criteria for determining the size of the strap material from the clock. In fact, the material is important for visual perception. So, leather bands will always give your watch a more delicate look. A metal strap, even the same size as a leather strap, will always appear larger and more massive due to the peculiarity of the material. This is important to consider if you have a small wrist. Metal straps are suitable for men with larger wrists. If you have a small wrist and you want a metal band - pay attention to the watch, where the strap is smaller than the diameter of the dial in 2.5 and 3 times.

 

Additional details and elements, design

 

Take a closer look at the size of the details: numbers, arrows, additional screens, calendar. Because these components impart a size and thickness, this creates the illusion of a large clock. So, the clock chosen for all the parameters indicated above, but with three-dimensional additional elements, decorative trim - can be incommensurably large. If the model is initially large, then the various details can make them visually huge. Another "rule" that should be adhered to: protrusions, decorative elements, should not hang on the edges of your wrist. Honestly, if the protrusions exceed the boundaries of your wrist, you will find it difficult to wear watches day in and day out and feel comfortable.

 

Along with visual perception, the key feature of the right size for any watch is that it is comfortable and convenient in them. The watch should be free enough to leave no traces on your skin, and at the same time, sit tight so as not to fall off your wrist. We hope that our recommendations helped you to choose the right size watch.
