How do you measure your wrist perimeter?

Published in Wrist Measurement 1 min read

You measure your wrist perimeter by wrapping a flexible measuring tape around your wrist until it meets its starting point, thus marking the circumference.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Get a Flexible Measuring Tape: A soft, flexible measuring tape (like those used for sewing) is essential. Do not use a rigid metal ruler.
  2. Position the Tape: Place the end of the measuring tape on your wrist.
  3. Wrap Around Your Wrist: Wrap the tape snugly around your wrist. Ensure the tape is lying flat and not twisted. It should be positioned where you would normally wear a watch or bracelet.
  4. Read the Measurement: Note the point where the measuring tape meets the starting point (the 0 mark). This is your wrist circumference.

Important Considerations:

  • Snug, but not tight: The tape should be snug against your skin, but not so tight that it's constricting.
  • Accuracy: Double-check your measurement to ensure accuracy.
  • Units: Note the units you are using (inches or centimeters).
