| How is a watch sized? |
Case size is an important factor in the watch style. On average, men’s watches have a case width or diameter of 35 millimeters or larger (just under 1.5 inches). Lady’s watches have a case width or diameter of 34 millimeters or smaller. The thickness measurement refers to the width between the case back and the top of the crystal.
The watch band is measured from the buckle to the last hole in the watch strap or from clasp section to clasp section. In general, a watch band will measure 7.5 inches to 8.5 inches for a men's watch and 6.5 inches to 7.5 inches in length for a lady's watch. (Some high-end petite models can be significantly shorter.) Be sure to check the sizing disclaimer in the product description for a listing of the band length.
Sometimes a metal bracelet needs to be resized to fit an individual wrist. A reputable jeweler can remove links from the bracelet, often for a small fee. Unless the watch has an adjustable bracelet with easily removed links, it is best to have a professional resize it. Be sure to keep the extra links as they can replace any links that may be damaged in the future. |
