How to choose a watch to match a suit?

One of the surprising problems in wearing a suit is how to choose a watch that suits you. In this issue, we introduce the key points for choosing the appropriate watch design, size, and color on the theme of combining a suit and a wristwatch!

What is the right watch design to match with a suit?

The design of a watch to be worn with a suit should be simple and elegant. Generally, analog watches with leather belts or metal bracelets, slim cases, and discreet dials (dials) are preferred. Basic colors such as black, silver, and gold are also preferred. If the above conditions are observed, it is possible to coordinate a suit and watch that will make a good impression. If you find it difficult to determine the design, we recommend that you choose a watch called a dress watch, which is considered appropriate for formal occasions.

Is it strange to match a chronograph watch with a suit?

In conclusion, as long as the design and color of the watch are appropriate for a suit, it is not strange to match it with a suit. Many chronograph watches with a stopwatch function have a strong presence, for better or worse, because the functional details are added as a design feature. For this reason, it is important to choose an understated and classy design such as the one described in the section above when matching it with a suit. It is preferable to avoid sports models with tachymeter bezels or diver bezels as much as possible, as they are likely to be conspicuous.

What size watch goes with a suit?

The size of a watch that goes with a suit depends mainly on the size of the wearer’s wrist and the style of the suit. In general, watches with a case diameter of 36mm to 40mm are suitable for most people and are the preferred size for business and formal occasions. However, if you have thick wrists or prefer a larger watch, case diameters up to 42 mm may be considered as an option. Ultimately, it is important to have a sense of balance to ensure that the watch fits into the cuffs of your shirt and looks comfortable.

If the purpose is to dress formally, there is no need to match the watch to the suit.

If the purpose is to dress formally, there is no need to match a watch with a suit, since it is important to keep accessories to a minimum and create an impression of sophistication. If a watch is to be worn, the correct choice is a modest design called a dress watch.
