When you are buying watches one of the most important things to consider is how the watch will fit on your wrist, as this will affect the comfort and the look of your watch. A watch that is too tight will dig into your skin and become uncomfortable. Wearing your watch too tight will cause undue strain on the strap, and it can also trap sweat underneath the wristband and fog up the screen. However, watches that are too loose will flop and slide around on your arm. Also, watches that are too loose can be in danger of slipping off and getting lost. A watch that fits snugly will look more professional and polished. So what is the ideal fit for your watch and how can you find it?
The Perfect Balance
To find the point when your watch tightness is just right, remember this: it should be snug-fitting enough so that it doesn’t slide more than a two-inch distance down your wrist when you lift your arm up, but loose enough so that it doesn’t leave an imprint on your skin. This is the ideal tightness for your watch as it will be the most comfortable and will look the best as well.
Adjusting
You might need to adjust your watch to find the perfect fit. Most metal watches will have links that you can remove one by one to make the bracelet smaller. They will also have some sort of micro-adjustment system which can vary the length to smaller degrees to suit your needs. Throughout the life of the watch you might need to adjust it for minor changes such as weight loss or gain. You can possibly adjust your watch yourself with a few basic tools, but if you like you can also. Watches with leather bands will have multiple holes that will allow for increases and decreases in the size. You can change the hole that you wear your watch on if you need to and when you require more room you can always purchase a longer wrist band. Visit BQ watches today for our full product range.
