Watch size guide
Which watch size should I choose?
It can be quite difficult to assess one’s own watch size without any measurements on hand. Generally speaking though - if you have a smaller wrist, you should choose a smaller watch. If you have a larger wrist you will have to choose a bigger watch.
we have chosen two men and two women models with different sized wrists in order to create a general size guide.
How to use the size guide for watches:
- Get the print-friendly measuring tape here
- Print it and cut it out (or use your own measuring tape)
- Measure your wrist circumference just behind the bone that is slightly stretched
- See the picture guide below to see how the watches look on different wrist thicknesses

A long time ago, it was almost a rule that women had to wear small traditional women's watches measuring around 30 mm in diameter while men’s watches should be 34-36 mm in diameter.
Fortunately, the reality is definitely very different today. Women can easily wear watches over 40 mm if they do not have too small/petite wrists, and men's watches range from 38 mm and up to over 50 mm.
Instead, choosing the right watch has become much more individual - based on one’s personal style, although wrist size still plays an important role.
We hope this watch size guide has helped you to choose the size of your next watch. Remember that most watches today are unisex. Choosing the right watch should most of all be based on your personal style and taste.
