Measuring your wrist

Do you measure it tight or slightly loose with measuring tape ?

When you measure, make sure your hand is open and not in a fist. Your wrist expands as your hand expands, maybe significantly. If you measure with a fist and size your watch that way, it might be really tight.

Fairly snug – the tape should slide round with a little bit of effort.
Of course, it all depends on how you prefer your watches to be worn – tight enough to cut off your circulation or loose so you don’t feel any sense of constriction at all.

it needs to be tight but without you putting an effort to hold it, 5 and 3/4 is quite small, do you have very small wrists or did you do it too tightly?
