The wrist watch is a timeless accessory that has become a real must for any look in recent years.
From the most classic to the most extravagant, the watch matches any type of outfit and any type of style.
On D'Amante you will find many models of watches men e per women suitable for all styles.
But do you know how to choose the perfect watch?
Technically, two characteristics should be assessed: the watch case and strap.
WATCH CASE
The case of a watch is an important parameter that will allow
you to choose the right model for your wrist.
There are no fixed rules to follow because a lot is based on the style
and subjective taste of the person.
HERE you can download a guide that could help you to
understand the dimensions of the diameter and thickness of the case.
On average, a female wrist measures about 5cm while the male's 6cm.
For children, on the other hand, the measurement is around 35 mm.
WATCH STRAPS
The watch is an accessory designed to last over time.
Among its components, certainly the one destined to wear out first is the strap.
Therefore, it’s a good habit to to replace it with a similar one.
The latest trends in the fashion world have enhanced this practice
by making it more frequent. Changing the watch strap allows you
to change your look every time and match the watch to your outfit.
Your watch purchased this way will have even more value and
will be able to evolve over time.
What are the things to know in order not to make a mistake in choosing the strap to buy?
Below we suggest the main elements on which to base your purchase:
  • Lug width: it is the dimension that corresponds to the width of the strap and is calculated by measuring the distance between the two lugs. The loop is the terminal part of the case that allows you to apply the bracelet or strap to the case;
  • Strap length:to which you must pay attention that it can fit your wrist well. As mentioned above, to calculate the size of your wrist you can follow our suggestion.

SOME MORE ADVICE:
  • Although in recent years large cases worn on small wrists have become a trend, we recommend not exaggerating with the size of the case diameter as there is a risk that in daily movements the crown of the watch collides with the back of the hand;
  • It has always been a common belief that the watch should be worn on the left wrist. In reality there is no pre-established rule and the choice is subjective. Our advice is to wear it on the non-dominant side so as not to annoy the daily movements;
  • -For a better fit, we recommend wearing the watch snugly. Depending on the type of strap you will have the possibility to adjust it to your liking or, in the case of a steel bracelet, you can get help in the adjustment. The general rule for a perfect fit is to leave the space of a finger between the strap and the wrist;
  • Don't forget to have your watch mechanism checked every two/ three years.
