Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a watch minimalist?

A minimalist watch focuses on essential elements: a clean dial, uncluttered design, and refined proportions. Our collection features watches with slim cases, simple markers or numerals, and balanced layouts that prioritize readability and timeless aesthetics over decorative flourishes. This design philosophy creates versatile timepieces that complement any style.

Which size should I choose: 36mm or 40mm?

The 36mm size works well for wrist circumferences of 15-17cm and those preferring a more compact, vintage-inspired aesthetic. The 40mm is our most versatile size, suitable for wrists 16-20cm and offering a contemporary presence without being oversized. Consider your wrist size and personal style preference—both sizes embody the same minimalist design principles.

Are the straps interchangeable across different models?

Yes, all our watches feature quick-release spring bars that allow you to change straps in seconds without any tools. The 36mm models use 18mm straps, while 40mm models use 20mm straps. This interchangeability means you can easily adapt your watch to different occasions, creating multiple looks with a single timepiece. Explore our full range of watch straps to personalize your style.

What is the water resistance of these watches?

Water resistance varies by model. Please check individual product pages for specific ATM ratings and care instructions. Generally, our watches are designed to withstand everyday exposure to water such as hand washing and light rain, but we recommend reviewing the specifications for your chosen model to ensure it meets your lifestyle needs.

What warranty coverage is included with my purchase?

All Nordgreen watches are covered by our comprehensive warranty policy, which protects against manufacturing defects and ensures your timepiece maintains its quality over time.
