Have you been browsing for a new watch, but feel unsure about what size you should be looking to purchase? Rest assured, this is a common feeling. You want your watch to look good, but it also needs to feel comfortable. And if you pick the wrong size, you may attract attention for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n

After all, the human mind has become accustomed to the concept of proportion, and we naturally notice if something appears\u00a0too big or too small. Not to worry. Here, we have compiled a helpful guide, which will show you how to choose the right size watch to best fit your wrist and style, so you attract envious glances, rather than confused looks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Measuring Your Wrist<\/h2>\n
\n

\"first_step\"<\/a>Before doing anything, it is important to take a measurement of your wrist. This will allow you to establish where your wrist falls on a basic scale of small to large, and give you an exact measurement to provide us with when you order your watch through Jaztime.com<\/a>, so that ultimately we can adjust the bracelet for your ideal fit.<\/p>\n

The easiest and most accurate way to do this is to purchase a tailor’s tape measure. If you have a tape measure thats great, if not you can use our printable wrist measure<\/a>. From there, measure around your wrist, above the bone, in the exact location\u00a0where you would wear your watch. \u00a0Take extra care to make sure the tape measure is neither too tight, nor too loose.<\/p>\n

If you do not have a tape measure handy and if youcannot wait to purchase one, a simple trick is to use a sheet of\u00a0paper, a tissue, or a piece of string. Wrap it\u00a0around your wrist and mark the point where it overlaps, then use a ruler to measure the distance from the end to the mark you made.<\/p>\n

As a general rule, 6 – 7 inches means you are in the small to medium range, while 7.5 – 8 inches means you are on the larger side. Any bigger than that means you are extra large.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Diameter of the Case<\/h2>\n

\"dimensionIn terms of choosing the right size, perhaps the most obvious part of the watch to look at is the diameter of the case itself. According to GQ<\/a>, almost all men’s watches fall within the 34-mm to 50mm range, and while bigger sizes are available, they will be too big for most people.<\/p>\n

To take this a step further, more than 90 percent of men find that their ideal watch size falls between 40mm and 44mm, based on a poll conducted by A Blog To Watch<\/a>, so this is the range that most men should be looking at. For women, case sizes of 36mm or less are commonplace, but this tends to be on the small side for many men.<\/p>\n

However, we believe you can be more specific by using your wrist measurement and following these guidelines:<\/p>\n
