To express the condition of putting watch on the wrist, it seems that a phrase "this watch fits on wrist" is sometimes used among Japanese people. The present research started to survey the practical meaning of this common phrase. First of all, we observed one by one the wrist of one hundred males and females passing through a ticket gate of the station Tachikawa to survey the watch position put on theit wrists. According to this observation, the position "C" sa mentioned in Figure 1 of this text was determined as the representative position. Second, we selected at random fifty male and female employees of the Orient Watch Company to examine their wrist size and shape. As the result, we found out that there is a close mutual relation between the wrist size and shape, and body weight. Finally, we arrived at a following conclusion that we can make a proper presumption of general size and shape of wrist about the average people by examining their body weight.
