How to Measure Your Watch Strap

Two-piece watch straps are sized by the width of the strap where it attaches to your watch case. This measurement is always in millimeters (mm). Follow these steps to find your perfect fit.


📏 Find the Correct Strap Width

1️⃣ Check Your Current Strap
Look on the underside of your existing strap — many have the width stamped or printed. If your current strap fits comfortably, simply order the same size.

2️⃣ Measure the Lug Width
If your strap isn’t marked, measure the distance between your watch’s lugs (the small arms that hold the strap) in millimeters. Always measure from the inside edge of one lug to the inside edge of the other for the most accurate result. Measuring between the lugs is more precise than measuring the strap itself.


📐 Find the Correct Strap Length

For most people, a standard-length strap will fit just fine. If you know you have a larger or smaller wrist, consider an extra-long or extra-short option to get the best fit.

1️⃣ Measure Your Old Strap
Measure the length of both strap pieces (excluding the buckle) and add them together for the total length in millimeters. If your current strap fits well, choose a strap with the same or similar length. If it feels too short or too long, size up or down accordingly.

2️⃣ Measure Your Wrist
Use a soft tape measure or printable ruler to wrap around your wrist where you wear your watch. Don’t forget to factor in the size of your watch case when deciding on strap length.

Keep in mind: two-piece straps can always be tightened with the buckle, so it’s better for a strap to be a little longer than too short.


Pro Tip: Accurate measurements save you time and hassle — double-check before you order to ensure a perfect fit!
