WRIST FIT LAB / FREE DECISION TOOL

Will this watch
fit my wrist?

Use the dimensions that decide the footprint—not diameter alone. The Fit Lab estimates flat wrist width, lug coverage and visual mass, then gives you a result you can share.

02 / HOW THE READ WORKS
01ESTIMATE THE PLATFORM

Flat wrist width is estimated at 30% of circumference. Real wrist shape varies, so treat it as a starting measurement.

02MEASURE THE FOOTPRINT

Lug-to-lug is divided by estimated wrist width. Up to 95% reads balanced; beyond 102% signals likely overhang.

03ADD VISUAL MASS

Case width and thickness add context. Style preference shifts the ideal target but never changes the underlying geometry.

03 / FROM FIT TO DECISION

Geometry first.
Then the actual watch.

A fit result narrows the search. Condition, price, service and the individual example still decide whether it deserves your money.

FIT QUESTIONS

Before the
try-on.

What watch size fits a 6.5 inch wrist?+

A case around 34–39mm is a useful starting range, but lug-to-lug and case shape can change the fit materially. Use the calculator with the exact watch dimensions.

Should watch lugs stay inside the wrist?+

As a practical starting rule, the lug span should sit inside the flat top of the wrist. Curved lugs, bracelet articulation and wrist shape still affect the real fit.

Is watch diameter enough to judge fit?+

No. Diameter describes case width, while lug-to-lug estimates the actual footprint. Thickness, dial opening, bezel width and strap shape also influence presence.

Is this a replacement for trying on a watch?+

No. The result is directional geometry, not a guarantee. A physical try-on or clear wrist photo remains the best final fit check.
