Your guide on how to choose the right watch strap size

To ensure that your watch strap fits perfectly, providing both comfort and style, it is essential to take precise measurements of its width and length. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve a customized fit for your watch:

1. Understanding Watch Strap Measurements:

- **Width**: The width of the watch strap is typically measured in millimeters (mm) and corresponds to the space between the lugs of the watch case. This measurement is crucial because a strap that is too wide or too narrow will not fit properly, which can affect both the aesthetics and functionality of your watch.

- **Length**: The length of the watch strap is also important for comfort. Straps come in various lengths, and the right size should allow the watch to sit comfortably on your wrist without being too loose or too tight.


2. Measuring the Width:

- To measure the width of your watch strap, you can use a caliper or a ruler. Place the tool in the space between the lugs of the watch and note the measurement. Measuring in millimeters is best for accuracy. If you’re replacing a strap, you can also check the specifications provided by the manufacturer.

 

 3. Measuring the Length:

- For the length measurement, first, determine your wrist size. Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string to wrap around your wrist just below the wrist bone. Mark the point where the tape or string overlaps, then measure the length with a ruler.

- Once you have your wrist size, consider the length of the watch strap itself. Most straps come in standard lengths, but you may want to look for options that offer additional holes or micro-adjustments for a more personalized fit.

 


General recommendation:

105mm/65mm fits a wrist size of 5.9 - 6.3 inches 
110mm/70mm fits a wrist size of 6.3 - 6.6 inches 
115mm/75mm fits a wrist size of 6.6 - 7.1 inches
120mm/80mm fits a wrist size of 7.1 - 7.5 inches

 

4. Choosing the Right Style

- After obtaining the accurate width and length measurements, you can choose a leather watch strap that not only fits but also complements your personal style. Think about the occasions you’ll be wearing the watch, whether it's for formal events, casual outings, or sports activities, and choose a leather watch strap that aligns with those needs.

By carefully measuring your watch strap’s width and length, along with your wrist size, you can select a strap that not only fits your watch perfectly but also enhances your overall aesthetic. A well-fitted watch strap can elevate your timepiece from a mere accessory to a statement of style, ensuring that you feel both comfortable and confident while wearing your watch.
