Size guide by wrist circumference
NOWATCH B is available in two sizes: 36 mm and 42 mm. Both sizes offer the same features and functionality, so the best choice comes down to comfort, proportions, and personal style.
As a general guideline, wrist circumference can help indicate which size may look and feel most comfortable. Personal preference also plays an important role, and many people can comfortably wear either size.
| Wrist circumference | Recommended size |
|---|---|
| Under 16.5 cm (6.5 in) | 36 mm |
| 16.5 – 18 cm (6.5 – 7 in) | Both sizes can work well |
| Over 18 cm (7 in) | 42 mm |
Not sure how to measure?
Use a flexible tape measure or a piece of string to measure around the narrowest part of your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
Style preferences
Choosing a size is not only about fit. It is also about how you prefer your watch to look and feel on your wrist.
36 mm
- More subtle and minimal appearance
- Lighter feel on the wrist
- Often preferred by those who like a smaller, more refined look
42 mm
- More visible on the wrist
- Slightly bolder appearance
- Often preferred by those who like a larger watch face
For full size and weight specifications, refer to the NOWATCH B: Specifications article.
Wrist width and overall fit
Wrist circumference is a useful starting point, but wrist shape can also influence how a watch wears. For example, a flatter, wider wrist may comfortably accommodate a larger case size, while a narrower or more rounded wrist may suit a smaller size.
If you are between sizes, your preferred look and feel may be the deciding factor.
Need help deciding?
