The table uses the brand pages and the third-party notes in the rows below. Fit labels are for a 6.5 in wrist.
These brands sell direct, and several product pages publish lug-to-lug for cases 34–38 mm wide. Fit labels below use a 6.5 in wrist (165.1 mm, usable span about 48.3 mm). Try it on, or compare a watch you own with the Fit checker.
Singapore-dollar figures are conversions from a sourced US dollar or euro price. Where a product page does not publish a foreign list price, no Singapore-dollar figure is printed. Related reading: lug-to-lug, lug curvature, end-links, strap taper, and the microbrand lug checklist.

What the product pages publish
- Lug-to-lug for the named model, not a different size (lug-to-lug guide).
- Lug shape on a side view (lug curvature and caseback projection).
- Whether bracelet centre links project past the lug tips (male vs female end-links).
- Thickness, including crystal height where the page lists it.
- Strap or bracelet width and taper. Several pages here list a 20 mm strap tapering to 16 mm (strap and bracelet taper).
Unpublished lug-to-lug
If the product page does not publish lug-to-lug, the fit label is Incomplete. The index uses the same rule.
Red flags
- The product page lists a width and does not list lug-to-lug or thickness.
- On-wrist photos are only on a stand or a wrist the page does not measure.
- The return and warranty pages do not name a process.
Sold direct, and import GST
Most of these brands sell direct. A few also appear at Singapore dealers named in the dealers guide. The converted figures above don’t include 9% GST on imports, except Vario and Awake, whose pages say the seller covers duties and GST.
The under S$10,000 guide lists watches with Singapore prices. Channel notes are on Buying in Singapore.
Fit on a 6.5 in wrist
Where lug-to-lug is published, the label above is Low risk or Moderate risk on a 6.5 in wrist. Where it is not, the label is Incomplete. Measurement notes are in sizing and the lug-to-lug guide. Try it on, or compare a watch you own with the Fit checker.
