How to Measure Your Wrist for a Watch (in 60 Seconds)
Short answer
Wrap a soft tape measure (or a strip of paper you then measure with a ruler) around your wrist just below the wrist bone. That number is your wrist size. Under about 6.5 in (16.5 cm) suits slimmer cases like the GA-2100, DW-5600 or Baby-G; larger wrists can wear any model, including the GA-700 and GW-6900.
Step by step
You only need a tape measure, or a strip of paper and a ruler.
- Wrap the tape just below the wrist bone, where a watch sits.
- Keep it snug but not tight.
- Read the measurement where the tape overlaps (or mark the paper and measure it flat).
- Add about 0.5 in (1 cm) if you prefer a looser fit.
Size chart
Use this as a guide — personal preference matters more than any chart.
- Under 6 in (15 cm): Baby-G, DW-5600, GA-2100.
- 6–7 in (15–18 cm): GA-2100, GM-2100, DW-5600, GMW-B5000, GW-6900.
- Over 7 in (18 cm): every model, including the GA-700 and GW-6900.
