Why is the Lug to Lug measurement so important?

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing me give you my thoughts and ideas surrounding what I think is the most important measurement on your watch is.

[@naomiredpath4351]

I agree with you James, it’s important to know this detail to get the desired fit. Thanks for your insight.

Thanks Naomi

Hi James! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I have been trying many watches over the years and never really understood why some big watches fit me better and look great while some small watches are too big. You gave me the answer to this question that I always had. Loved the way you gave examples too. You are a great communicator and know your stuff well. I know many people who have been selling watches for years and don't have a clue of what is going on. Thanks again.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thank you. As I learn things myself I try and share my experiences.

A good example of a lug to lug explanation, great job

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks mate. It was an interesting video to make. Hope it was interesting to watch.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Awesome video James! And the thumbnail was brilliant! Something that I never considered much when I actually started collecting. I would say my sweet spot for lug to lug would be 47-50. Information every watch collector esp starting out needs to know, great job pal!

[@WATCHingJames]

That’s a nice size. I had a bit of fun with that thumbnail

Hi James, once again this video goes to proove that absolute certainties do not always exist, specially when talking about watches where personal tastes are often the final answer. Nice explanation for all, but very usefull por beginers. Regards

[@WATCHingJames]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. These type of watch related topics interest me and I hope that the videos I make are interesting to those who watch.

Thanks James. I was similarly impressed with how smaller case width watches looked fine with longer lugs making the lug to lug width longer than expected and making smaller watches not look silly. This seems to be more common with some dress styles vs divers.

[@WATCHingJames]

That is true.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Good job with the explanation and goes to show that sizes don't always tell the full story

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks mate. It’s funny how my understanding of this has changed over my watch collecting experience.

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@WATCHingJames Absolutely.

Nice video. It's interesting, my wrists are so small, but I generally find that I don't mind watches with lug to lugs even up to 50mm. I think another important dimension would be the top surface of the wrist.

[@WATCHingJames]

That is true

[@hasanyesilyurt5640]

Hello ‘ i have pretty extra small wrist 5.9 inch wrist ‘ do you think 41 mm lug to lug distance watch fit me well ‘ whats my max lug to lug distance will be (mm ) ? Thanks

[@WATCHingJames]

I would think 46mm would be the biggest. But it does depend on the watch. What the case shape is etc… Also depends on how you like the watch to look on wrist.

[@watchsixto]

Awesome work on the difference between the lug to lug measurements and I think they don't show the lug to lug on watches "don't quote me" because most people will be turned off by that so they are taking the chance that you'd buy it

[@WATCHingJames]

That is very likely the reason.

[@arianne_t]

Well explained!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@WATCHingJames]
