The importance of wrist size when choosing a women’s watch
As mentioned earlier, it is imperative to have the right watch size. If its size is above your wrist circumference, people might say you borrowed it. Which isn’t very nice! So, the ideal is to have a watch that beautifully encircles your wrist.
