So, you've scoured the internet and finally found the perfect watch, but you're not there to try it on, and now you're left wondering whether it's the right size. We hear this dilemma all the time, but we're here to help you figure it out from the comfort of your home.

Whether it's a diver or a ceramic watch, it is important to remember that one size does not fit all. That means you must ensure your watch is right for you, including having the right dial size, strap and thickness, whilst mastering the balance of style and practicality.

That said, if you want to ensure you are getting a watch that fits comfortably and looks great, keep reading our official guide on how to measure your wrist size.

Wrist sizes fluctuate among everyone, so measuring your wrist is the first thing you need to do before you begin your quest for your perfect timepiece.

The width and thickness of your wrist determine the size, with some people having particularly petite wrists, while others are thicker.

Whilst there is no magic formula or calculation to perfectly fit the watch around your frame, there are steps you can take to ensure you invest in a proportionate and balanced piece. So, how do you measure your wrist size for a watch?

Knowing your wrist size will take all the stress of searching for a watch away, as you will know exactly what size to go for. But how do you do it? Measuring your wrist is simple, and we have broken it down for you in the following steps:

1: Take a flexible measuring tape or strip of paper.

2: Wrap it around your arm, just below the wrist bone, where your watch usually sits.

3: Unwrap the paper and lay it flat next to a ruler, noting the measurement.

The centrepiece on every watch is the dial, but if it is not in proportion with your wrist, it will strip your watch of its glory. Whilst some prefer to keep things subtle, others want the biggest available, but is there such a thing as too big? If your desired dial fits the wrist measurement below, you've found the perfect-sized dial. If it is not, consider selecting a different size.

Generally, watches designed for men have larger diameters and larger straps. So, we have provided the following chart, which breaks down the recommended watch size for each wrist circumference.

Sleek and petite, women's watches are much smaller than men's because women generally have a smaller wrist width. To complement the thinner width, women's watches require a smaller dial to prevent an overly bulky appearance. The following chart shows the perfect dial size for every woman's wrist.

We have a downloadable and printable Watch Case Size Guide, it will allow you to get some idea how a specific sized diameter case will look on your wrist as well as various case depths. This is a guide only, for a true representation please print the PDF file at 100% size.

Besides the size, there are other things worth considering regarding the fit and feel of your watch. These core things include the thickness of the dial, the width of your strap, the material used and your style.
