There are many sizes and styles of watches. Watches can be worn as a functional accessory or as stylish jewelry by both men and women.

Method 1 of 3: Wearing the Watch Correctly
Step 1. Don't wear a watch that's too big
Watch faces are measured in millimeters. Men's watches are usually 34-50 mm in size, although they can be larger. In general, avoid watches that are more than 50 mm in size. The standard and ideal watch size is 34-40 mm for both men and women.
Step 2. Determine the wrist where you are wearing the watch
There is no "right" side. Choose the side that is most comfortable and does not interfere with your movement. Usually, people wear the watch on their non-dominant wrist because they feel uncomfortable when writing.
Step 3. Wear your watch next to your wrist bone
Make sure the watch face is right next to the outer bone of your wrist (the lever bone). When standing, your watch should see little or nothing, hidden against your sleeve. When wearing a long-sleeved shirt, make sure your watch is only visible when your arm is bent. Never wear a watch over the sleeve.
Step 4. Use a strap that fits and fits
Your watch should look comfortable, natural, and not loose. You may need to adjust it as needed. Your wrist circumference may change naturally.

- Casual or formal watches may have more complex locking systems. You may need to add or remove ties on this kind of watch. Read your watch's instruction manual, or ask a watchmaker for help setting the watch size.
- A man should not wear a loose watch. The watch must be able to move at least 2.5 cm vertically on your wrist. The watch face should not move up to the wrist side. You should be able to insert a finger between your wrist and the band.
- Don't wear your watch too tight. Watches are said to be too tight if they leave marks on your skin.
- Women may wear watches that are tight or loose around the wrist, like a bracelet.
Method 2 of 3: Choosing the Right Watch for Various Situations
Step 1. Match the style of your watch and shoes

- The price of formal watches are usually expensive and people view them as a status symbol. If you can't afford an expensive formal watch, it's best to avoid wearing a watch because a cheap watch can give a negative impression. On the other hand, there are no consequences for not wearing a watch.
Step 4. Put on a sports watch

Step 5. Wear a semi-formal watch for business attire or casual business attire
If you're wearing something more formal than shorts and a polo shirt, such as a shirt and jacket, wear a semi-formal watch. This kind of watch is usually simpler than a formal watch.
- Wear a semi-formal watch with a black or brown leather strap for occasions that require semi-formal attire, professional business attire, or even business casual attire, such as a blazer with fabric pants or jeans, dresses, and trousers with a blouse or dress. the right jacket.
- Match the color of your shoes and belt to your watch strap. If your shoes are black, don't wear a brown strapped watch.
