Wristwatches

A wristwatch is more than a practical accessory – it is a reflection of personal style. For some, a classic watch adds a refined touch to everyday wear as well as formal occasions. For others, a modern smartwatch offers useful features that support an active and organised lifestyle. Whether you prefer a timeless design, a sporty look or a clean, elegant watch for men or women, there is a timepiece to suit every taste.

At Nordic Vital Care, we offer a carefully selected range of wristwatches designed to combine style, comfort and everyday functionality.

How to choose the right wristwatch

When choosing a wristwatch, it’s important to consider how it fits your lifestyle, your preferences and how you plan to wear it. Below are the key factors to keep in mind.

1. Analog, digital or smartwatch

Start by deciding which type of watch best suits your needs.

An analog watch offers a classic and timeless look, with hands and a traditional dial. Analog watches are available with either quartz or automatic movements. Quartz watches are battery-powered, accurate and easy to maintain. Automatic watches are powered by the movement of your wrist and are ideal for those who appreciate mechanical craftsmanship.

A digital watch displays the time in numbers, making it quick and easy to read. These watches often include useful features such as alarms, stopwatches and backlighting.

A smartwatch combines modern technology with everyday convenience. With features such as activity tracking, notifications and app integration, smartwatches are well suited to both daily use and training.

2. Strap type

The strap has a big impact on both comfort and appearance.

Leather straps provide a classic and elegant look, suitable for both work and formal occasions. NATO and canvas straps offer a more relaxed, casual style. Metal bracelets are durable and versatile, while silicone straps are flexible, water-resistant and ideal for sports and active use.

3. Size and fit

A well-fitted watch should feel comfortable and look balanced on your wrist. Both case diameter and thickness matter.

Women:

Women’s watches typically range from 26 mm to 38 mm. Smaller wrists often suit watches between 26–34 mm, while larger wrists or bolder styles may suit watches between 34–42 mm.

Men:

Men’s watches usually range from 38 mm to 46 mm. Watches between 38–40 mm suit smaller wrists, 40–44 mm fit average wrists well, and sizes above 44 mm are ideal for larger wrists.

Comfort is key – the watch should feel natural when worn.

4. Colour and design

Colour plays an important role in choosing the right watch. Classic shades such as black, silver and gold are versatile and easy to match, while colours like blue, green or red can add personality. Consider whether you prefer a clean, single-colour design or a combination of tones.

Wristwatches for women

Women’s watches are an important part of personal style. More than just an accessory, they express elegance, confidence and individuality. Whether worn daily, at work or for special occasions, a well-chosen watch completes an outfit with a refined finishing touch.

At Nordic Vital Care, we offer women’s watches in a variety of styles, from minimalist designs to more distinctive statement pieces.

Wristwatches for men

Men’s watches are a key element of a well-considered wardrobe. They add structure and sophistication to any outfit, whether for everyday wear, professional settings or formal events.

A sporty watch is ideal for an active lifestyle, while a classic dress watch is well suited to more formal occasions. Having more than one watch allows you to choose the right style for each situation.

Quality you can rely on

At Nordic Vital Care, we focus on offering wristwatches that combine reliable quality, practical features and fair pricing. Each watch is selected with durability, comfort and design in mind, so you can wear it with confidence every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wrist should you wear a watch on?

Most people wear their watch on the left wrist, as it makes adjusting the crown easier and keeps the watch out of the way for right-handed users. However, wearing a watch on the right wrist is perfectly fine if that feels more comfortable.

How big should a wristwatch be?

The ideal size depends on your wrist size and personal preference. Men’s watches typically range from 38–46 mm, while women’s watches are usually between 28–36 mm. Comfort and proportion are the most important factors.

Is there a difference between men’s and women’s watches?

There is no technical difference, but design often varies. Men’s watches tend to be larger and more robust, while women’s watches are often smaller and may include decorative details or softer colour tones.

How water-resistant should a watch be?

For everyday use, 3–5 ATM is sufficient. For swimming, at least 10 ATM is recommended, while diving watches generally require 20 ATM or more.

What is a quartz watch?

A quartz watch is battery-powered, highly accurate and requires very little maintenance beyond battery replacement.

What is an automatic watch?

An automatic watch is powered by the movement of your wrist rather than a battery. It includes a power reserve that allows it to continue running when not worn for a period of time.
