Many agree that a watch that’s too big for your wrist is glaringly unsightly. An oversized watch makes your hands and arms look smaller and weaker than they are.
Let’s face it: no guy wants to look like a kid wearing his dad’s watch. It’s one of the main reasons why wearing a watch for small wrists is important.
I don’t care how much your watch costs, its brand, or its kind of movement. If it doesn’t fit your wrist, it’s not a good purchase.
The problem is that oversized, bulky watches have been trendy for the past few years. So when you go to the store or shop for watches online, finding smaller options (anything under 40mm, for example) is challenging.
Contemporary watches would have looked ridiculous to people 30 or 40 years ago. Men used to wear smaller watches, regardless of wrist size. The point is that trends come and go, and watch sizes will vary with the times.
Rather than trying to keep up with trends, you should wear watches that fit your build and are proportionate to your wrist.
