Guides for smaller wrists (Singapore)

Evergreen, fit-first notes for ~6.5" wrists — lug-to-lug and thickness first, Singapore buying path second. Soft SGD bands are orientation only, not quotes. How we source numbers and photos: About & method. Dated release notes live on News.

Tools — geometry you can run

Measure once, then score a watch. These are not another “best watches” list. Missing lug-to-lug stays Incomplete — we do not invent tip-to-tip from diameter.

Sizing Start here

Cloth tape or paper strip, consistent tension, note millimetres. Then compare to lug-to-lug — not just the number on the dial side of the case.
