How to measure the size of a new watch band?

 

Measure the distance between the lugs (extended parts of the case that hold the watchband), in Millimeter. Place the cappilar at the place where the pushpens are seated.

 

Or; check the current band on your watch, in some the size is inprinted. For conversion from Inch tpo Metric, click here:

Measure the buckle size if you plan to re-use it. It's done the same way as measuring distance between the lugs. Nearly all buckles can be re-used and have Pushpins (springbars), so they can easily be removed from the old band. Deployment clips can also be re-used and are measured the same way as buckle-size.

Measure the length of the strap you need. You do that by placing both ends on a metric ruler and count the total length INCLUDING buckle. Regular gents length is 20 cm. Using a deployment clip or regular buckle does not make much difference in total length needed.
