5 Reasons To Purchase the Perfect Dimensions Check out For The Proportions - Wrist-watch Case &

Gentlemen, Antonio here.

All right. Let’s talk about watches. In particular, we’re going to talk about watch size, watch proportion, and why it matters when you’re going out there and trying to find the perfect watch for you.

So, imagine you go online and you find one

that has a great style, it’s a great color, great look. You buy the watch, get it delivered,

you put it in your wrist, you’re looking at it, and you’re like, I don’t know, something is off about this watch. It could be that it’s the wrong size for your wrist.

Basically, the proportions are off. As human beings we’re very good at identifying incorrect – incorrect proportions, we lean towards correct proportions. It’s just something in our nature that we go towards what we consider to be normal.

Now, when it comes to proportions, if you’ve got a smaller wrist, you’re going to want to go for a smaller wrist watch. If you have larger wrist you’re going to want to go for a larger watch.

In this video, I’m going to go for five things that you want to look for on a watch to make sure it’s going to be the right size and therefore proportion depending on what size wrist you have.

Now, everything I’m going to be showing you here is provided by MVMT Watches. They’re a great company. What I really like about them is in 2013, they started over on Indiegogo and they since exploded, they’ve got tons of different watches.

I’m going to link to it right here. And the cool part about this is they set me some samples and these samples are in many cases they were the wrong size, they were the wrong proportion for my wrist size.

You see, I’ve got 6-inch wrist – nah, 6-1/2-inch wrist. What does that mean? Well,

I’ve got to wear a smaller watch. I can tell you I’ve got these samples over here and I would love to get rid of them.

So, in the comments down below, please go over to MVMT Watches and find a style find a particular type that you like, put it in the comment and if it matches one of the two watches that I’ve got right over here,

I will personally send you out this watch. So, I’m going to check the comments guys, wish you the best of luck on that and, I can tell you that I did keep one of them because

like I said my wrist about 6-1/2 inches in diameter, therefore 38mm, 40mm, and42 mm watches work for me.

And that’s when I’m going to gravitate towards and I am wearing one of their MVMT’s 40mm watch in the 40mm collection, so go check them out.

Okay, guys. So, the five points that I was alluding to and I think every man should be thinking about when he goes out there and he sizes a watch, number one is going to be

case diameter.

So, I’ve already alluded to it by saying, you know, 38, 40, so those are going to be the common diameters out there.

You’re going to see go as high as 50 in some cases, but normally 45, 46, that’s going to be a bit larger and in fact, the samples I have here are 45s which you can go see in their chrono and their classic collection. 40 worked for me, again, because of my wrist size.

Now, the next thing you want to look at is going to be the case thickness. Case thickness is often directly correlated with actually the case diameter.

I know, you know, case thickness has a history of actually the thinner it was the more higher-end watch it was perceived to be.

This goes back to mechanical watches and thinner watches were believed to basically require more work, therefore they were more valuable.

However, it since kind of moved away from that, now with electronic watches and with watches that are going more for a fashionable look.

So, sometimes you’ll see really it’s got a think diameter maybe 46 or a 45 and it will have like a 9mm or a 10mm thickness. This watch right here is a 40 and it’s got actually a 7mm thickness right here.

So, I personally like it when a watch I think as it gets smaller in the diameter, the thickness should go down as well. That’s just my personal preference.

You want to find what works for you and proportionally you think looks good on your wrist. Now, the third point that we want to pay attention to, the band width. So, on this 40mm, what we see is a band width of about 20.

Usually, you’ll take the case diameter divide it by two and that’s approximately what you want to see in the actual width of the band.

So, if you go for an oversized band what you can do, you know, and right here what we see is the lug width.

Now, the lug width oftentimes determines the width of the band and this can be, you know, we’ll see these bands anywhere from 18 to almost in some cases 30,

but you can actually go out depending on the band, you can get some that are going to be wider. I, personally don’t like wide bands, then, again, I’ve got smaller wrist.

If you have larger wrist and you like larger watches, you can also go with larger bands, but going with too large of a band on a smaller diameter watch can oftentimes,

it just throws the proportions off. But, again, if that’s what you like, go for it. that’s being used.

Leather is going to oftentimes give a slimmer leaner look. Metal bands are going to look heavier.

Following number five, you want to look good, all the other components, so you want to look at the crown, you want to look if there’s a –

if there’s a pusher and that’s usually going to be on a more complicated watch.

You also want to look at the times at the hour point and you want to look at the hands as those get thicker as those get heavier as the numbers get larger, all of that gives the illusion of it actually a larger heavier watch.

So, again, if you want to keep the watch simpler, that’s going to give a more streamlined look. If you’ve got a 38 or a 40, you want to be careful with adding too many components on it,

it’s going to make the watch look bigger and therefore a bit more clumsy. Does that make sense?

Okay, guys. So, go check out the company, MVMT Watches review right here, great company and let me know in the comments what you think the watches are.

In addition, I’ve got an entire article over at My Watch Villa. Boom! I’m going to link to it right over here. In that article,

I go into more detail about each of the five points so that you

can use this information to make a smart purchasing decision.

Gentlemen, I’ll see you in the next video. Take care.
