How do I go about measuring the size of my wrist. Is it as simple as just wrapping a strip around and then measuring the length? Or is there something else to it?

I know....im an idiot.

A strip of paper is handy.. Wrap it around your wrist to what you might feel comfortable with, loose, tight etc. mark the end of the piece of paper with a pen. then lay it out flat and measure the paper from the end of it to the pen mark this should give you a accurate measurement for your wrist size. Don't forget the the watch length might be different form watch to watch as its what ever Feels comfortable. A tight watch on a cold day might not fit you wrist on a hot day!

Anything will work. Grab a shoe lace or string or a strip of paper as mentioned above. Mark the length and then measure the paper with a ruler or tape measure.

You can even print out an exact tape measure online, and wrap the paper around your wrist.

The next time you're buying a suit, ask to see the guy's tape measure for a second.

I don't think he'll mind, especially if you buy the suit.

I worked part time at a men's store in high school and college. I've got several of these still floating around my house.
