How to Choose the Right Size Watch for Your Wrist (ft. Farfetch & Nomos)

About this video

McGoff teaches men how to select the right watch size for their wrist by first measuring their wrist circumference, then understanding the two key dimensions of watches: case diameter and lug-to-lug distance. He argues that most men make the mistake of choosing oversized watches, and recommends that men wear what fits them regardless of conventional masculinity standards, while suggesting 38-40mm is an ideal range for most men.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that watch sizing matters as much as clothing fit, but ultimately you should wear what you love regardless of size
• McGoff recommends measuring your wrist at the widest point with a flexible tape measure to determine your wrist size before selecting a watch
• McGoff contends that case diameter (measured in millimeters) and lug-to-lug distance are the two critical dimensions to consider, and suggests 38-40mm is ideal for most men with average wrists
• McGoff argues that men have been convinced larger watches are more masculine, and recommends instead that fit should matter more than size for both aesthetic and practical reasons
