Case sizes at true proportion

Diameter sells the dial. Lug to lug decides whether it fits.

Case diameter says how big the dial looks. Lug to lug — tip of the top lugs to tip of the bottom ones — says whether the watch stays on top of your wrist.

Six stops between the bench and your wrist

What the fit check told its owners

Owners who used the fit check, with the wrist size they entered and the watch it pointed them to.

Not sure of your wrist? Two minutes with a strip of paper.

Wrap it just below the wrist bone, mark where it meets, lay it on a ruler. Put that number into the fit check on the Combe page and every case size gets a verdict.
