Watches for Slender Wrists: The Ultimate Guide

Watches for Slender Wrists: The Ultimate Guide

While the average case size of a watch gets larger every year, the size of the human wrist does not. This trend seems to be finally slowing down; however, the gradual increase in case of size over the decades has left many watch collectors feeling that many brands’ models are too large for their wrists – and that some larger models are simply unwearable for those who already have slimmer wrists.
The size of a watch can be described in several ways. The most common is through the diameter of the case. For example, the most iconic fake Rolex Datejust version has a diameter of 36 mm. The average size of a sports watch in the Rolex portfolio is 40 mm, although this size seems to be increasing in recent years, with the latest Submariner, Explorer, and Sea-Disc models all ranging from 41 mm to 43 mm in diameter.
Now that you know your wrist size, it’s time to find the perfect watch for you. Starting with the strap, the general rule is to give yourself a little extra room if it’s a metal strap, although this is entirely up to the wearer. Since most metal bracelets are fixed in length, if your wrist expands slightly throughout the day, the little extra room you gain by sizing up will help prevent your watch from feeling too tight and becoming uncomfortable.
The reason for enlarging the size is that your wrist may expand as the temperature fluctuates throughout the day. If the bracelet is fitted to the exact size of your wrist, it may become too tight as you go about your day. Some brands, such as Rolex, include clasps that offer an extension system, which allows the wearer to instantly adjust their bracelet without the use of any tools to help ensure a tailored fit. If your bracelet does not offer this micro-adjustment feature, it may be worthwhile to go up a size.
Just like bracelets, the size of the case depends completely on the wearer. Those with smaller wrists will find that most replica watches under 40mm will fit. Collectors, however, have different tastes in watches. Some people like the look of larger watches on their wrists, in which case a 40mm or larger watch may suit them best. Others, on the other hand, may prefer a modest watch that fits their wrist perfectly or even prefer a smaller size due to a preference for weight and comfort.
Rolex is one of the most coveted luxury brands in the world. With an ever-expanding pre-owned market, now is the best time to finally add your treasured replica Rolex to your collection. If what you want is a classic formal watch, the 34mm Date and the classic 36mm Datejust are the best Rolex watches for smaller wrists. If you really want Rolex’s flagship, the classic Day-Date 36 is also great for slim wrists that want a solid gold watch.
