Proportional guide only: visual presence and physical footprint do not predict comfort. Weight, thickness, caseback shape, rigid lugs, strap stiffness, wrist-bone prominence, wearing tension, bezel design, and case curvature change how a watch actually wears. Non-round silhouettes use a verified family shape and catalog dimensions where available; missing case height or width is estimated from a conservative family aspect ratio.
