Watch Diameter And Wrist Size

[Mark Eleven]

With the big watch trend, everyone including myself seem to be going for bigger and bigger watch. But as I am small built, I have quite small wrist which is only slightly less than 6 inch.

One of my favorite is the Seiko Pilot SNX427 which is only 35mm. Very small by most standards...

This is the wrist shot.

What do you think? Does this watch look small or it's just right size proportion to my small wrist?

I think that watch actually looks quite large on your wrist. I wouldn't wear anything like a 44mm or 47mm.

Size is not as important as case curvature and lug width....

A large watch that curves into the wrist will look fine even in a

larger size, and wider lugs allow for a wider strap, which also will

cover thinner areas of the wrist.

Regarding diameter,.. the most important is from north to south,.. not east to west,...

Just make sure that the lugs do not overhang the wrist...
