It can be difficult to find a watch that fits if you have particularly small wrists. We've scoured high and low to discover the best watch brands and collections for women with small wrists. Discover our top perfect watches for petite wrists below.
Finding the Perfect Watch Size
Unless you're going for a deliberately oversized look, those with small wrists should be mindful of the size of the watch's case. Watch case widths range from 20mm - 56mm. If you're looking for a small watch, we recommend widths smaller than 33mm. And don't forget, if you're purchasing a watch with a link strap you can have links taken to ensure your straps are the perfect fit.
