The wrist and the watch: an inseparable pair and an alternating, easy or complicated coexistence. This is because the way in which a watch 'dresses' the wrist, a bit like a suit, is very important. Let's examine a few situations, starting with choosing the right bracelet size and the correct way to centre the buckle, operations that must be carried out carefully so as to keep the watch on the wrist in the best position at all times. One method used to check the accuracy of the bracelet size is to insert a finger between the buckle and the wrist. Usually leaving this space is sufficient for the 80% of people, and the wrist will bear the watch well throughout the year. As for the folding clasp, for good centring, the bracelet or strap (usually the rubber ones) should be shortened, taking care to position the shortest part at 6 o'clock, i.e. on the inner side of the wrist. There are some people who prefer to wear the watch very tight or, on the contrary, very loose, both of which are wrong, since in the first case there is a risk of the buckle (we are always talking about the folding clasp) opening at every move of the wrist, while in the second case there is a risk of the watch crashing everywhere, with consequences that are easy to imagine. The manufacturers have always endeavoured to ensure that the wrist/watch cohabitation can be the best, just think of the shapes of the cases made to adhere to the wrist in the best and most harmonious way. Elements not to be neglected, therefore, when choosing a watch are the design, ergonomics and, finally, the material used for the straps and bracelets, which are also of vital importance for a perfect fit and feel on the wrist. In particular, it is best to make sure that these are materials that do not cause discomfort or allergies in contact with the skin.
