How to Choose the Right Watch Band Size?

When it comes to choosing a replacement watch band, getting the right fit is key. Watch bands and straps that don’t fit properly can feel uncomfortable, look awkward, or even fail to stay in place.

The most important measurement to know is your watch’s lug width—the distance between the two points where the band attaches to the case. Measuring it first helps ensure your new watch band or strap fits securely, looks great, and performs the way it should. Here's how to get it right.

#1 - Use a standard ruler with centimeters, not inches, for accuracy.

#2 - Measure the space between your watch's lugs in millimeters (1 centimeter = 10 millimeters). Look for the red line labeled "Inner Space" on the image.

NOTE - Measure directly in millimeters or convert your centimeter measurement to millimeters by moving the decimal point one place to the right. For example, if the lug measures 2 centimeters, it converts to 20 millimeters.
