Not a lot of real estate on my Wrist

amcclell · May 30, 2020

I have a number of smaller watches as well. A couple of them are pretty beat up and a couple almost NOS.

I find watch to wrist size has a number of factors (build, style, ect...) but keeping technical your 6.25" wrist size gives you more options than you think.

From this page put together on proportional wrist size (referencing material from the Slender Wrist) it covers many factors that let you wear btw,

Case Size: 31.75 - 39.6875 mm
Lug to Lug: 39.6875 - 20.27083333 mm

I'm 5.75" myself and wear btw 30mm to 39mm averaging 30mm to 36mm. Also, I find lucky us, the smaller watches sell for much less!

Oh and keep in mind normal flat pictures you watch ends up looking way bigger than in real life to other people.

My wrist is 6.75" and the preferred range that most of my watches fall into is 33-38 mm. I find that some of the smaller ones still stand out and get noticed because they are unique.

Thanks again to all that have posted advice, greatly appreciated.
I am doing plenty of reading of the threads on this Forum to try and educate myself as much as possible.

A big thank you to those who continue to reach out to help,

I will have the opportunity tomorrow to go and try on some watches of varying sizes with different straps to help me figure out what suits and fits best.

Thanks again
Ken
