Wrist Size (in)
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.

Reviews
Didn’t look at the size,
"Didn’t look at the size, seems a little small…not like the bigger Easy Reader date blue version I’ve had for 4 years. The indiglo stopped working on it so I thought I’d upgrade to the day/date version. Still easy to read, but you made it smaller? I’m old & need both the size and indiglo, hope this one works for me."
Nice watch.

It's early to rate this
"It's early to rate this product. It's too early to determine its accuracy or how it holds up in use. I do intend to get a metal expansion "bracelet" to replace the leather strap, which is of marginal quality."

- Hi Lorraine! Thanks for reaching out. The Easy Reader Day Date 35mm Leather Strap Watch is a quartz watch that uses a replaceable battery. If the INDIGLO® light is no longer working, the first step would be replacing the battery, as a low battery can affect the light function. If a battery replacement does not resolve the issue, we recommend visiting a professional watch repair provider for further evaluation.
