Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what watch size fits my wrist?
Measure your wrist circumference with a tape measure. Under 6.5 inches: choose 38-40mm case. 6.5-7.5 inches: 40-44mm is ideal. Over 7.5 inches: 44-46mm looks proportional. A watch should not overhang your wrist bones.
What is the difference between automatic and quartz watches?
Automatic (mechanical) watches are powered by your wrist movement — no battery needed. They are prized for craftsmanship. Quartz watches use a battery and are more accurate (within seconds per month vs seconds per day for automatic).
Are fashion watches worth buying?
It depends on your priority. Fashion watches (under $200) offer style at accessible prices. Enthusiast watches ($500+) offer better movements and materials. For daily wear and style, a well-made fashion watch at $100-$200 is excellent value.
How water resistant does my watch need to be?
30m: splash proof only. 50m: brief swimming. 100m: swimming and snorkeling. 200m+: diving. For daily wear including hand washing and rain, 50m minimum is recommended.
