There is nothing more enjoyable than having the perfect fit to wear your women’s watch with style. Having the watch well-fitted on our wrist, without it slipping off, is truly elegant.

Just imagine having a luxury watch that is too big for you? It hampers your activities and flops your look at the same time. That’s totally a fashion faux pas. 

Modalova is here to help you learn how to measure your wrist. We will also offer you a short list of some watch models that might catch your eye. 

The Importance of Wrist Size When Choosing a Women’s Watch 

As previously mentioned, it is imperative to have the right watch size. If its size is larger than your wrist circumference, people might think you borrowed it. Not exactly flattering! So ideally, you want a watch that beautifully hugs your wrist. 

Every woman has her measurement. Like clothing and shoes, the watch should also fit you well. To do this, there are measurements to consider so you can wear and put on a watch easily. 

A little grandmother’s trick to measure the diameter of your wrist is to take a measuring tape and wrap it around your wrist: this way, you can get the exact size.

If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can take a string, wrap it around your wrist, and mark where it crosses. To find out the size afterward, use a ruler to measure the string.
