Band Size
The band for this watch can be adjusted to fit comfortably between the following wrist circumferences.
150 - 205mm (5.9 - 8.1in)
Wrap a garment measuring tape snuggly around your wrist just below the wrist bone. Alternatively use a piece of string and then measure the string length with a ruler. The average wrist size for men is 6.5-7.5", and for women is 5.5-6.5".
How to choose the right case size
Case diameter determines the watch size: it’s the width of the watch case, excluding the crown. Small wrists (<6") suit 28–36mm, average (6–7") fit 36–42mm, and larger wrists (7"+) can wear 42mm+. Smaller cases can feel refined or vintage-inspired, while larger ones make a bold, modern statement.

Mineral Crystal
A toughened glass made from silica that's heat- and scratch-resistant, offering clear visibility and solid everyday durability.
Mineral Glass
Enhanced durability
Mineral crystals use a similar material to windowpane glass and were developed for watches as a harder alternative to acrylic. Mineral crystals are still susceptible to scratches but less so than acrylic, however it is not possible to buff out these scratches as it is with acrylic. Mineral glass is not as shatter resistant as acrylic but does offer greater transparency and clarity. Due to their improved scratch resistance versus acrylic, and improved shatter resistance versus sapphire, mineral is often considered to be the best of both worlds as a crystal material.

Q&A
- Can this come with a metal band instead and can links be removed in the band to accommodate smaller wrists…5.5-6mm Thanks
- Hi Lesley! Thank you for reaching out. The Easy Reader Classic 38mm Leather Strap Watch is sold as is, and we do not offer customization, such as changing the band to a metal bracelet. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer a different one.
- The picture shows day and date, but the description is not clear on this. Does it have both day and date?
- Hello Sheila! Thank you for your question about the Easy Reader® Classic 38mm Leather Strap Watch. This model only has a date window and does not display the day. It also features a 24-hour format on the dial, which can sometimes be mistaken for an additional function. We hope this helps clarify!
