Watches for Women With Extra Large Wrists

Watches for women with extra large wrists offer plus size women a fit that is both comfortable and stylish.

When buying a watch, fit is important. If you are ordering your watch online or from a catalog, be sure to measure your wrist before placing your order to ensure the fit will work for you. To measure your wrist, use a piece of string. Wrap it around your wrist and use a marker to denote the spot where the string meets. Let it overlap just a little so when you order your watch it will have a little room. This can make a difference as your body makes little adjustments from day-to-day, such as water retention. This extra length is also needed if your watch has a toggle clasp.

Once you've marked your string, use a ruler to measure the length and then subtract the size of the watch head for the particular watch you plan to buy. On average, a watch head measures somewhere around an inch or so for large, easy-to-read watches. Look for the face size in the description details. Following this procedure provides an accurate wrist size to use when placing your order.

Metal watch bands are easily adjusted, but if you have extra large wrists, it's a good idea to order extra links. Each online vendor handles this differently. Some state that the extra links are available only through the manufacturer, so be sure they really are available before you actually place your order.

Not too long ago, women with large wrists had few selections in watches; none of which were stylish or trendy. Today, things have turned around as manufacturers create a selection of watches in different price ranges as well as styles.

The Stuhrling Women's Alpine is designed for women with style. The stainless steel case and bracelet complement the black dial which is highlighted by a bubble-domed Krysterna crystal. This band fits wrists from six and a half to seven and a half inches, and extra links can be ordered from the manufacturer. Other features include:

• Luminescent hands
• Arabic numerals
• Swiss quartz movement
