Wearing a watch is more than just checking the time—it’s about personal style, confidence, and comfort. Whether you’re rocking a classic diver, a sleek dress watch, or a custom-built timepiece from DialSmith London, how you wear your watch matters.
Here are 3 essential (and free!) watch-wearing tips that apply to both men and women. Master these, and your wrist game will always stay sharp.
1. Never Wear Your Watch Loose
A watch flopping around your wrist is a major no-no. It not only looks unpolished, but it also increases wear and tear on your watch. A timepiece should feel secure—tight enough that it doesn’t slide around, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation.
Pro tip: A perfectly fitted watch should leave just enough room to fit a finger between your wrist and the strap.
If your watch moves more than half an inch when you tilt your hand,tighten it up!
✅ Why it matters:
- Keeps your watch in top condition
- Looks more professional and stylish
- Prevents damage from constant movement
2. The Watch Should Sit Behind Your Wrist Bone
This tip separates casual wearers from true watch lovers. Your watch should rest just above the wrist bone, not on top of it or further up your arm. That’s the sweet spot where it naturally aligns with your hand for comfort and style.
Wearing it behind the bone allows the watch to:
- Sit flush with your arm
- Feel more comfortable during daily tasks
- Look effortlessly clean and balanced in photos
Whether you wear a chunky diver or a minimal dress watch, this rule applies across the board.
3. Wear Your Watch on Your Non-Dominant Hand
If you’re right-handed, wear your watch on your left wrist. If you’re left-handed, switch it to the right.
Why? It’s practical. Wearing your watch on your non-dominant hand protects it from knocks, scratches, and unnecessary wear. You also get better control when adjusting the crown or checking the time without interrupting your tasks.
This is especially useful if you:
- Type often
- Drive frequently
- Use your hands for creative work or photography
- Wear your watch daily
