Measure properly
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.
How to measure wrist for a watch →Why wrist fit matters more than diameter

Second watch after a Tudor diver →Who this site is for
If you have been told “just get a 41 mm diver” and it overhangs your wrist bone, you are in the right place. We write for collectors and first-time buyers in Singapore who care about proportion — not for affiliate spam or invented “best of” lists.
Start with how to measure wrist for a watch, then browse by budget (or the S$3–10k deep page) before you buy watches in Singapore at an AD or grey counter. Lug-to-lug still beats marketing diameter — especially around 6.5".
No fake testimonials. Specs and street prices change; always verify at the counter and treat our figures as orientation, not a quote.
