Determining Your Watch Strap Width (Lug Size)

Check the inside of your current strap to see if the size is clearly indicated. It will be a two-digit number starting with either a 1 or 2. If the size is there and the strap fits well, you can order the same size.

Two-piece watch straps are measured by the width of the strap end that attaches to your watch. The strap width is always measured in millimeters (mm). There are two methods to determine the size.

Measure the distance between the watch lugs in millimeters (mm). Make sure you measure from the inside of the lugs as shown in the example. It is better to measure the distance between the watch lugs than your existing strap, as this will give you a more precise measurement.

Determining Your Watch Strap Length

If you have an average-sized wrist, it's likely safe to purchase our "Standard" length strap that isn't described as being "extra-long" or "extra-short". If you have a large or small wrist, you may need to select an extra-long or extra-short strap. Either way, taking a few minutes to identify the proper length can save you the disappointment of purchasing the wrong size.

Measure the length of both straps together in millimeters (mm). You can also measure each one separately and add them up to get the total strap length. See measurements A & B in the example. Do not include the buckle in your strap length measurement. If your current strap is a suitable length, you should purchase a strap of the same or similar length. If your current strap is too long or too short, then try to select a model that is longer or shorter. Strap lengths are always measured without the buckle.

To measure your wrist, wrap a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper around the area where you normally wear your watch (flush against the wrist bone). Pull the tape so it sits snug against your skin, but don't pull it so tight that it pinches. Remember that two-piece straps can be adjusted smaller when buckled, so it is okay if the strap length is somewhat longer than needed.
