Thank goodness! Finally! Somebody finally put a video together that shows size of wrist versus size of watch and how they wear. This is a big step in a right direction to finding a comfortable watch. As you mentioned, this is a subjective topic, but a picture says 1000 words. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Well done!

This video is a lifesaver! I have a 7.5 wrist, and sometimes it's hard for me to figure out what size watch to buy. Your video has helped me a LOT! More watch reviewers and sellers should definitely take note of this video and make similar videos, such as this. Thanks again!

Great video! I have a 7" wrist and I like wearing pretty much anything from my grandfather's 33mm vintage watch up to monstrosities of 50+mm. It depends on the watch itself and how it wears. Some watches wear bigger than they actually measure and some smaller. Bottom line is wear what you like!

Great video concept and well illustrated comparisons. I have a 7 inch wrist and love the 38-41mm range. Lug to lug measurement and height dimensions also impact wearability for me, but that 38-41mm range is pretty much always comfortable and proportional looking.

@Tzazilas 5 жыл бұрын

Great video and extremely helpful for folks that buy watches online and not in physical shops. Another big factors are lug to lug distance, the size of dial (thick bezels make the watch seem smaller, that's why the 50mm watch you have on the video seem smaller), the case thickness, and last but not least the watch strap (thick nato straps with rings make a small watch seem bigger, or slim metal bracelets like shark sesh make the watch seem smaller). Keep it up :)

Great video - this conversation also requires the lug to lug measurement, thats the most important aspect when checking a watch and how it fits. Thanks for the content.

@louiscyfer6944 2 жыл бұрын

i disagree. dial size is the most important. a watch that has a large dial, almost no bezel, i can get away with 46mm. a watch with a larger bezel i need 48mm to 50mm. the lug to lug doesn't really effect how big the watch looks on your wrist.

I was looking for an affordable alternative to the Omega Speedmaster but surprised at how large the Bulova looked on my wrist.

@merkhet9328 5 жыл бұрын

Great video! Really nice General guidelines. I would add though that a lot can depend on the exact case design and strap combination plus probably the most overlooked dimension of the watch which is lug to lug width. My wrist is around 6.75in and I would not normally go above 41mm, however I have one watch at 46mm that nevertheless fits beautifully due to its short and tapered lugs. So always try a watch on and don’t rule pieces out just based on one measurement.

@NOSUCHVideos 5 жыл бұрын

Case sizes to wrist sizes can be trivial when you account lug to lug tip measurement. Some small case size have lug to lug measurements that extend, some large case size have lug to lug measurements that are short or angled etc. You may have a fairly case sized watch but if the lugs are long and extend out on the edges of your wrist or on the verge of, then it will look large or inappropriate.

Yes, lug to lug is more important. I have 43mm watches that look better on my wrist than a few of my 40 mm due to the lugs on my 6.75" wrist.

The bracelet is the main factor in my opinion. You can make a big watch appear small and a small watch appear big by swopping bracelets. For example the new Moonwatch bracelet vs the old bracelet changes the way it appears on wrist. You can also beef up a Seiko SARB with a Strapcode Super Jubilee.

Great video Dave. Its really good information to compare even before you go out shopping. So optically, the best ratio of wrist to watch size is 0.240. Using mm dimensions, ex. 6.6”x 24.5=161.7mm wrist size. Watch size 38.8mm / 161.7mm= 0.240. So for me at 7” wrist size, 41mm would look right.

@jannafrost6426 Жыл бұрын

I have to thank you for this. The most recent watch I have is 47mm and to ME it didn’t look right, looking to small. According to your method I would need a 50mm watch for my 8.5” wrist. I give you a gold star Doctor!!
