If the watch band size does not fit, it can affect the comfort and overall balance of the appearance. Here, we will explain simply how to measure the size of a watch band (lug width, buckle width, total length, thickness, etc.) and how to choose the material and color.
1. How to Measure Watch Band Size
1-1. Rug width
Lug width refers to the part of the watch case where the band is attached.
- In order for the watch and band to fit securely, the width of the band end and lug width must be the same.
・ Available sizes: 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm, 26mm, 28mm...
1-2. Buckle Width
Buckle width refers to the width of the buckle (fastener) part of the band.
If you want to use the original buckle of your watch, the width of the original buckle and the new band must match.
- If you have a folding clasp, choose a band made specifically for it.
2. How to Measure Watch Band Length
2-1. Measuring the wrist
First, measure the circumference of your relaxed wrist in its natural state. Use a tape measure or a soft tape to accurately measure the thinnest part of your wrist or the part where you plan to wear the watch.
2-2. Measurement of existing bands
We would like to guide you to the most suitable length, but the fit and preference during wear vary from customer to customer. Therefore, determining the exact length is difficult, and we recommend that you make your decision based on your own comfort.
- For metal bands, measure the length when closed with the buckle included.
- Sizes are available from small to large, suitable for both men and women.
3. Watch Band Thickness
Band thickness indicates the height of the band.
Many leather bands feature a tapered design that gradually thins towards the buckle.
・When using the original buckle for the watch, the thickness of the band must be the same as the height of the buckle.
- If you have a folding clasp, choose a dedicated band.
4. Watch Band Design and Material
4-1. Surface Material and Color
You can choose the material and color of the front (outer) side of the band to suit your preferences.
- Material example:
・Crocodile leather
・Alligator leather
・Lizard Leather
・Ostrich leather
Shark leather
Python leather
・Elegant Leather
・Cowhide leather
・Calf leather, etc.
- Color variations:
Black, Gray, White, Dark Brown, Brown, Light Brown, Beige, Nude, Dark Blue, Denim Blue, Burgundy, Red, Pink, Green, Khaki, Yellow, Orange, etc.
4-2. Material and Color on the Back Side
The back of the band is usually made of light brown calf leather, but for custom options, crocodile leather can also be chosen.
- Color variations:
Cream, brown, black, yellow, red, green, etc.
