Choose a Watch For a Small Wrist

While in recent years, the trend has clearly moved towards a larger watch production, some sometimes reaching diameters exceeding 50 mm as well as the limits of good taste! Of course, the extreme opposite has suffered and it has become difficult today to find a watch when a wrist whose size can hardly accommodate these oversized models. Even more, since the average of watches on the market seems to oscillate between 38 mm and 42 mm. So here is an article in which we will give tips to assist the fine wrists in choosing a new watch.

1. Do I have a small wrist?

Choosing a watch is like choosing any garment. If it does not work, it will look disproportionate to the rest in terms of size. Thus, a watch that is too large for a small one will give the impression of being even smaller than one is really or worse: that of a child wearing an adult model. In the case of a too small, it will also be unsightly. Nowadays with this fashion of large-diameter winner watches, so-and-so will be wearing the finest tailored costume, but the eye will inevitably be attracted to the small or very fine who wears it on his wrist.

But in the background, what is a small wrist? To tell the truth, it has nothing to do with the general stature, and the taller men can have fine wrists when the smaller ones are wider. If we can estimate that the choice of a watch size is more in the feeling than in the figures, note as a reference that a circumference below 17cm can be considered as relatively fine. Obviously, some situations can be treated differently. Let's admit a small and stocky man, he will be able to choose a riding more thick than someone tall and lanky. Everything is in respect of the proportions!

2. How to choose a watch for a small wrist?

It's one thing to keep in mind no matter how big your wrist is. When choosing a watch, beyond its primary function (give the time), we also choose a fashion accessory to complete and perfect an outfit. Once again, respect for proportions will play a big role in creating a harmonious whole, and there are certain benchmarks to be relied on.

A. The diameter of the case

The size of the watch is obviously the most important factor when you have a small wrist. Indeed, the case (the metal frame in which your watch is located) will determine the place that will take the watch visually. Thus, we can agree to stay below 40mm or less for very thin wrists.

B. The thickness

The second thing to look at is the thickness of the watch, because it is quite possible to find on the market models of reasonable diameter but very bulky. Thus, the more the case will be fine, the better will be the rendering on a small wrist. It does not mean going to the women's department at a jeweler, but simply finding narrower models. All you have to do is say that their small size means that the work these watches have undergone is all the more remarkable and they will not lose any value over time.

C. The bracelet

Generally, the size of the bracelet goes with that of the watch and they are thinner and narrower on smaller diameter models, brands often having the ideal size required for a model to purchase. Thus, it goes without saying that once again, the correct proportions must be respected on this point.

D. The design

Although a watch may be small in diameter and thickness, it is nonetheless characterized by other parts of its anatomy that can quickly move it to other dimensions. Indeed, the crown, the bezel, the buttons are so many parts that can make it seem much more imposing than it is. In general, the simplest watches will always fit fine wrists without any risk taking. So play the card of simplicity!
