Understanding the Wrist Watch & Its Anatomy
Here is what to know:
Case Thickness
To pick the right fit, considering case thickness can help in understanding how it will look on your wrist.
- The ticker the watch, the larger it may look, even if you choose the smaller size. In most of the watches, the thickness can be around 8 to 12mm thick.
- Thicker watches can have a thickness above 14mm, whereas thin and ultra-thin can be less than 8mm. As for the smaller wrists, slender cases can help make the watch.
Case Diameter & Strap Material
Another crucial factor to consider is the diameter and strap material for the right fit. The case diameter usually ranges between 33 to 45 mm. If you go lower than 37mm, it would be categorized as elegant or women’s size.
But anything above 46mm can be for men and is mostly suitable for bold and flashy outfits.
Besides the diameter, the type of strap material can also differ on how your wrist watch may look on you.
For example, Techno Master & Kc Watches, with stainless steel straps, may suit you if you prefer a bigger and wider look, whereas Curtis & Co Watches with a leather strap are suitable for a classic look.
Case Shapes
A square case watch offers more square footage on the dial as compared to a round case.
However, the watch with a thicker bezel or smaller dial may follow the same case size as the round one. But they can give the illusion of a smaller dial size as compared to other shapes.
This can differ based on type in hour markers, thickness, as well as the size of the hand, pushers, and crowns.
Lug To Lug Measurement
To choose the perfect watch, lug-to-lug measurement is a helpful way to consider the right fit. This measurement is important as it determines the wrist width the watch can fill.
The ideal watch case requires filling around 70 to 95% of your wrist width, avoiding to not overspill. Here is a chart on how this measurement works.
| Inches | Centimeters (cm) | Size In Watch Case (mm) | Distance (mm) |
| 5.50 | 14.0 | 27.9 to 34.9 | 34.9 to 43.7 |
| 5.75 | 14.6 | 29.2 to 36.5 | 36.5 to 45.6 |
| 6.00 | 15.2 | 30.5 to 38.1 | 38.1 to 47.6 |

| 6.50 | 16.5 | 33.0 to 41.3 | 41.3 to 51.6 |
| 6.75 | 17.1 | 34.3 to 44.5 | 42.9 to 53.6 |
| 7.00 | 17.8 | 35.6 to 44.5 | 44.5 to 57.5 |
| 7.25 | 18.4 | 36.8 to 46.0 | 46 to 57.5 |
| 7.50 | 19.1 | 38.1 to 47.6 | 47 to 59.5 |
| 7.75 | 19.7 | 39.4 to 49.2 | 49.2 to 61.5 |
| 8.00 | 20.3 | 40.6 to 50.8 | 50.8 to 63.5 |
