Ellie Jules Watch Selection Guide

Choosing the Perfect Watch for Your Wrist At Ellie Jules, we understand that finding the right watch is about balancing style and comfort. Our guide is designed to assist you in measuring your wrist and choosing a watch that complements your personal style.

Measuring Your Wrist To determine the ideal watch size for you, start by measuring your wrist. If a tape measure isn’t available, a string and ruler work just as well. Wrap the tape or string around your wrist snugly but without pinching, and record the measurement. If using string, mark where it overlaps and measure it against a ruler.

Selecting the Case Diameter The diameter of the watch case is critical in watch selection. Generally, men's watches are found in sizes from 38mm to 46mm, with 42mm being a common preference. Women's watches are typically between 26mm and 36mm. Watches outside these ranges may appear disproportionate, but an oversized look is a matter of personal taste.

Understanding Case Thickness When selecting a watch, the prominence of the case front is a key aspect to consider. The thickness of the watch case plays a crucial role in ensuring a suitable fit. Ideally, the case depth should be in proportion to its diameter, ensuring an optimal and aesthetically pleasing thickness relative to your wrist size.

The thickness of the watch case should be proportionate to its diameter for an optimal fit. Smaller to medium-sized diameters usually have a thickness of around 7mm, while larger cases might be closer to 9mm.

Lug Consideration Lugs connect the watch case to its strap or bracelet. Remember, lugs aren't included in case diameter measurements, so they will extend beyond the case width. Ensure some extra room around your wrist for the lugs for maximum comfort.

Watch Band Sizing

• Width: The band width should be about half of the case diameter for a harmonious look. Disproportionate band sizes can detract from the watch's appearance.
• Length: The band length should ideally be close to your wrist size, within half an inch of your wrist's circumference, taking into account the case diameter and thickness.
• Material: The choice of band material – metal, leather, or fabric – impacts both appearance and comfort. Metal bands can seem larger and heavier, while leather or fabric offer a different aesthetic and feel.

Final Selection Choosing a watch can be complex, but with this guide and consideration of your personal style and wrist size, you can begin your journey. Comfort and style are paramount, so select a watch that feels right to you and complements your individuality.
