When buying a new watch band, it's crucial to select the right size for a proper fit. Here’s a quick guide to help you measure and find the perfect band for your watch.

1. Lug Width

Most straps are categorized by lug width, which is the distance between the two protruding lugs of your watch. To determine the correct width, measure the distance between the lugs where the strap attaches to the watch case.

2. Band Length

To ensure a comfortable fit, measure the length of your current watch band. If it fits well, use it as a reference when ordering a new band. For a more accurate measurement, watch our video on how to measure your wrist:

3. Buckle Width

If you're reusing a buckle from your old strap, make sure the width of the new band matches the buckle's inner width. This ensures a proper fit.

4. Band Thickness

Thinner straps work best with flatter watches, while larger, more robust watches look great with thicker, padded bands. Choose based on the size and style of your watch for the best aesthetic balance.
