Case Size and Proportion: Understanding How to Match Spinnaker Watches to Your Wrist Size

Choosing the right watch can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to finding the perfect size and proportion that complements your wrist. A watch is not just a timekeeping device; it's a reflection of your style and personality. At Spinnaker, we believe that understanding case size and proportions is essential for making an informed choice. This guide will help you navigate our collection and find the ideal Spinnaker watch that fits both your wrist and your lifestyle.

The Importance of Case Size

Case size plays a critical role in the overall aesthetics and comfort of a watch. A watch that’s too large can overwhelm a smaller wrist, while a watch that’s too small can get lost on a larger wrist. Therefore, understanding your wrist size and how different case diameters complement it is key to selecting a Spinnaker watch that feels as good as it looks. 

Understanding Wrist Sizes

To determine your wrist size, use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string. Wrap it around your wrist snugly but not too tight, then measure the length against a ruler. Here’s a general guideline for wrist sizes:

- Small wrist: 5.5” – 6.5” (140mm – 165mm)
- Medium wrist: 6.5” – 7.5” (165mm – 190mm)
- Large wrist: 7.5” and above (190mm+)
