Human nature believes in balance. Yes, balance everywhere and whenever it takes a step down, it becomes unacceptable to human eyes. You may call it, the liking for perfection as the right size works (candid, we know).
It is wired in our DNA to accept the finest of fit in clothes, shoes and accessories. Therefore, talking about watch fit, which we may not have given much heed. But apparently, the right size of your wrist watch is equally important as the size of your shirt. Why compromise, when you don't have to?
Someone asks you the time, you take your hands to see the time, and that dapper look you invested instantly zeroes down with that loose hugging watch fit. So, here is the cue, take it easy peasy and take the watch game to new heights:
1. The watch case diameter:
If you know, your watch case or the dial we say is the most important element to your watch. Don’t miss on that!! Men's designer watches generally ranges from 38 mm to 46 mm. Anything that goes above 46mm comes under a too large category. These too large watches make their place for flashy or too casual outfits. And anything below 38mm is too lean and succumbs to any accessory.
So, find your wrist size and choose the one that suits you perfectly. After all, size matters!! Simply wrap it around your wrist for finding the circumference of your wrist.
2. The thickness of watch case:
Coming to the next crucial element- it is case thickness. It is essentially important and at times directly correlated to case diameter.
For a watch with 38 mm to 42mm diameter, you may count the case thickness to be around 7mm. So, specifically, you can count it with the case diameter for the thickness as well.
3. Watch band:
After talking about the dial let's head to watch band. It is essential to choose watches with dials as per your liking and of course as per the size of your wrist. Normally, a well proportional watch has half of its size watch band. It may go any lesser also. Even as per your preference you may like to wear a watch band of a larger size too.
So, do not forget while wearing your watch and have a look at watch band equally.
4. The material of your watch band:
This is crucial to know. Some stick to conventional leather straps and some are comfortable with that chunky metal band. So, it's another personal choice every individual stick to.
But for the watch fit, remember a leather watch is going to give you a much slimmer look, if you are looking for that. On the other hand, a metal watch band with its appearance will certainly hold back to a heavier and bulky look. For those with small wrists and looking to showcase a metal band, customise the band size accordingly.
5. The Ultimate Watch Detailing:
Next up is watch detailing and you cannot go wrong in here. A watch has several other components attached to it, like the lug, the pusher and the changer. From watch to watch, these components grow in size and offer an illusion of a larger watch. So, keep the proportion in head of these elements as well. For instance, a 38mm to 40mm watch with huge numbers, the look will certainly be unbalanced.
So, we're saying...
Watch it out when you spend a good amount in designer watches.
