The movement, in plain words

Watchdives lists the Japan VH31 for the WD50Q V2. It is quartz, run by a battery.

On your wrist38 mm across, 11 mm thick, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 38 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 68% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 5.1 mm inside each model edge.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.
