Watches often come in a variety of designs and sizes and can be worn as a main accessory or jewelry for both men and women. While watches can be worn for all occasions and settings, there are a few basic guidelines that should be followed in order to choose the right timepiece. The instructions in this article focus only on choosing the right watch for the situation and context, how to choose the right watch for your outfit, and wearing it properly.
Steps
Wear your watch properly

Do not choose a watch with a face that is too large. Watch faces are usually measured in millimeters (mm). Men’s watches have an average face size of about 34-50mm and can be larger. You should not wear a watch with a face larger than 50mm. The standard watch face size is 34-40mm and is suitable for both men and women. [1] X Research Source

Decide on which wrist you want the watch to be worn. There is no right or wrong way to wear a watch. Choose to wear the watch on a wrist that feels comfortable and does not interfere with your activities. Generally, you should not wear your watch on your dominant hand because it is uncomfortable to write with the watch under your wrist.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cd/Wear-a-Watch-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Wear-a-Watch- Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/cd/Wear-a-Watch-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Wear-a-Watch-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wear the watch right next to the wrist bone. Make sure the watch face is right next to the outer bone of the wrist (the ulna). When standing, the watch face will not be visible below the shirt cuff. This means that when wearing a long-sleeve shirt, the watch is only fully visible when you bend your hand. Never wear copper above your sleeve. [2] X Research Source

Wear the watch to fit. The watch you wear should feel comfortable, natural and not too wide. You can adjust the strap size if needed to fit your wrist size.
- Some watches, such as leather band watches and sport watches, allow you to adjust the band easily to tighten or loosen the band to fit your wrist.
- Metal band watches have elaborate buckles, so you need to adjust the size by adding or removing links. Refer to the instruction manual or ask the seller to assist or guide you in adjusting the length of the watch band.
- Men should not wear wide watches. That means the watch can only move up and down the wrist about 2.5cm. The watch face does not slide over the side of the wrist. As a general rule, the distance between the watch band and the wrist should be just enough for you to slip a finger in.
- You should not tighten the watch band too tight. If you see a mark on your wrist, it’s too tight and you should loosen up.
- Women’s watches are worn to fit the wrist or slightly loose like a bracelet.
Choose a watch that matches the context
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fa/Wear-a-Watch-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Wear-a-Watch- Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fa/Wear-a-Watch-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Wear-a-Watch-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose a watch that matches your shoes. As a general rule, Western shoes combined with leather strap watches are most appropriate. If you wear sports shoes, of course you also choose sports watches. For other types of footwear, such as boots, loafers, sandals, you just need to choose a regular style watch. [3] X Research Sources

Choose a watch with a casual look that you can pair with your everyday outfit. That watch should have a neutral and durable design because you will be wearing it during your daily activities, such as while working, participating in social activities and doing some errands. Watches with stainless steel are popular for their neutral look and are very durable, but you still have other options like plastic or rubber watches.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/38/Wear-a-Watch-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Wear-a-Watch- Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/38/Wear-a-Watch-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Wear-a-Watch-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose watches with luxurious designs when going to formal events. It could be a wedding reception, a christening, a luxurious dinner, a symphony concert, and some other special occasion. An elegant watch will complement your luxurious outfit.
- Luxury watches are usually made from precious metals (gold, silver or platinum) and can be very expensive, depending on the brand and material. [4] X Research Sources
- Many people prefer to choose watches with the same material as their jewelry or accessories. For example, when wearing a platinum necklace, women would choose a platinum, silver, or white gold watch; Men who wear gold cufflinks often prefer to wear a gold watch. [5] X Research Sources
- Luxury watches can be very expensive and are seen by men as status symbols. If you don’t have the budget for an expensive formal watch, you can choose not to wear the watch. Since a cheap watch can give a negative view of you, it is best not to wear it to formal events.

Wear a sports watch. You can view a sports watch as a casual accessory or aid for running or exercising. Sports watches can be made from durable rubber, plastic, or fabric bands that are sweat-proof and often waterproof. Pay attention to the instructions that come with your watch for a safe length of time in water.
- Wear a sports watch when you need to keep track of time, measure depth or speed, need the assistance of a compass, or when you need special functions that come with the watch.
- In addition to exercising, you can wear a sports watch with a long-sleeve shirt or tie to casual events.
- Don’t wear a sports watch when wearing a suit – this is a fashion taboo, similar to not wearing sneakers when wearing a tuxedo! This is considered less aesthetic. [6] X Research Source

Wear a leather strap watch when wearing business attire. This watch style is more suitable for more formal attire than khaki pants and t-shirts, such as shirts and vest jackets. Leather strap watches are often not too prominent, simple and often do not have as many details as luxury watches. [7] X Research Sources
- Choose a slim black or brown leather strap watch to pair with formal, business attire, such as a long coat with trousers or jeans, and a skirt and trousers with a style top or vest.
- Choose a strap that is the same color as your shoes and belt. When wearing black shoes, you should not wear a watch with a brown strap.
- Buy multiple watch bands that you can easily match your shoes and belts without spending a lot of money. Or you can choose a dark brown watch band.
Wear your pocket watch properly
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/99/Wear-a-Watch-Step-10.jpg/v4-460px-Wear-a-Watch-Step-10. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/99/Wear-a-Watch-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Wear-a-Watch-Step- 10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Choose a pocket watch if you think it suits your personal style. Pocket watches were once very popular, but gradually became a unique accessory. This type of watch makes a difference and expresses your individuality if worn properly. A pocket watch is an object passed down from generation to generation, so it often carries a strong spiritual value. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7b/Wear-a-Watch-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Wear-a-Watch-Step-11. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7b/Wear-a-Watch-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Wear-a-Watch-Step- 11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Wear a pocket watch when wearing a waistcoat. You should put your watch in whichever pocket is convenient for you, then thread the watch band through a buttonhole on your waistcoat and place the watch face in the pocket on the other side. This way, you’ll be able to create subtle sophistication while still taking advantage of the watch’s functionality.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8c/Wear-a-Watch-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Wear-a-Watch-Step-12. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8c/Wear-a-Watch-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Wear-a-Watch-Step- 12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Wear a pocket watch when wearing khaki pants or jeans. You just need to put the watch in the most convenient pocket, put the watch band through the lap of your pants and clip the watch to the leech so that the watch face is exposed. This both protects the watch and makes it easy to see the time quickly. [9] X Research Source

Don’t be afraid to use a pocket watch if you’re female. Although women don’t usually wear pocket watches, this type of watch creates a classic look for women. If the watch has a long strap, you can wear it as a necklace. Or, you fasten your watch to a lapel to keep it on your shirt. Choose simple accessories if the women’s pocket watch stands out and is sophisticated.
