But how do you know what size is too big for your wrist As a general rule of thumb, the border of your watch case should not extend beyond the edge of your wrist. This means that the very ends of the watch (known as the lugs) should not be hanging outside of the confines of your wrist.The watch size for men are usually between 38mm and 46mm in size. Anything larger than 46mm quickly comes across as overly large. And anything smaller than 38mm is usually for women.Watches above 46 mm are “oversized” and are mostly created for “flashy and very bold” outfits. Generally, watch case diameter is small to medium when it's 32 mm – 41 mm and large cases are the ones with 44 mm – 46 mm. Measuring your wrist might help to estimate the right case diameter.
Can a watch look too small : As you shouldn't wear a watch too big for your wrist, it goes the same for a watch that's too small. It will look like a toy, which is funny, but not your goal when you're in public. When in doubt, just remember one thing: Always match the watch to your wrist, not the other way around.
Is it okay to wear an oversized watch
An oversized watch dwarfs your wrist, throws off the proportions of your entire outfit, and simply doesn't “fit” well into a nicely combined outfit. For a watch enthusiast, those large dials are nothing more than for show. If you want to be taken seriously in the world of horology, stick to watches that fit your wrist.
How loose should a watch fit : But not so tight that is squeezing the life force out of you like Darth Vader. Now I used to wear my watch super loose. And kind of on or above the wrist bone.
Though there is no official size being denoted as “too big” or “too small,” watch enthusiasts tend to think of a men's watch that is 40mm or bigger as “oversized” while 40mm and under is “average.” However, consider the case diameter for your own wrist size. A women's mini typically is 23-25mm. A small is 26mm to 29mm.
What to do if a watch is too big for you
We highly recommend taking the watch to a jewelry/watch store in your local mall who'll do it for you! It's fairly cheap and sometimes they even do it for free since it's such a quick job.Similarly, if you can move your index finger around once it's in between the band and your wrist, it is too loose. Traditionally, a watch that is a perfect fit doesn't slide around on your wrist. The right watch should remain in place with the watch face on top of your wrist without sliding up and down your forearm.Sometimes oversized watches can be uncomfortable. Be sure to move your hand around to see if the watch's lugs poke you. If your wrist is not wide enough or if the watch is uncomfortable, you may want to consider a smaller version. If you have small wrists, a big watch can still work if it makes sense for the watch to be (and wear) big. Take the Seiko “Tuna” models, for example. Or the previously mentioned PloProf or the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea.
Is it OK to wear a watch tight : A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to slide your index finger between the clasp and the wrist, but you shouldn't be able to move your finger around.

The watch size refers to the dial or face's diameter in millimeter. If you prefer a larger watch face we recommend 40mm for men, and 36mm for women. If you prefer a smaller watch face we recommend 36mm for men, and 32mm or 28mm for women. Men's watches usually measure 38mm to 46mm while women's mostly range smaller at around 26mm to 34mm. Yet, it doesn't mean that men can't wear the smaller size or women can't choose the larger diameter. You can choose anything that perfectly straps on your wrist.Some say that the smaller watch dial for men is coming back in style. Others prefer wearing the size because they're confident enough to do so. How ever you follow the latest trends, own your moves. Our selection of men's 32mm watches comes in two models: the Native and the Infinity.
Should a watch be baggy : Here's a general guide to the “perfect” fit.
