How to find the correct size watch strap

Measuring your watch strap is a straightforward yet crucial step in finding a new strap that fits both your watch case and wrist comfortably.

If you’ve currently got a leather watch strap, the quickest and easiest way to determine width is simply to look at the back side of the strap. Some – not all – have the width imprinted onto the leather. For example, if there’s a ‘22’ on the back of your leather strap, it means the width is 22mm.

Simple!

If your strap doesn’t have a number on it – or you’re dealing with a strap made from a different material – you’ll need to measure the width yourself. But this isn’t difficult. What you need to do is find the ‘lug width’, which is the size of the gap between the lugs (or horns). The lugs are the two metal parts on each side of the watch case that protrude out and connect the case to the strap. Measure between the inside of the lugs on one side, and record your measurement in millimetres.

The image above shows how to measure the lug width. On this watch it measures 20mm so requires a 20mm watch strap. Always measure accurately and in millimeters, if your rulers is in centimeters you can always convert this to millimeters (we don't advise measuring in inches).

The Alligator Curved in brown is warm and classic, a lovely match for a gold or cream dial on a round case.

The ends that meet the watch are curved rather than straight, so the strap follows the shape of a rounded case and sits right up against it, with no gap between strap and case. It's a padded leather strap pressed with an alligator grain, with stitching to match, and it narrows towards the buckle.

It comes with spring bars as standard and a choice of gold or silver nickel-free buckle. Available in black and brown, from 18mm to 24mm.

Watch strap size guide: strap width (a), buckle end width (b), short end length (c) and long end length (d), tapered strap

Strap measurements

  • 18mm: 185mm long (75 + 110mm), 16mm at the buckle
  • 20mm: 185mm long (75 + 110mm), 16mm at the buckle
  • 22mm: 205mm long (85 + 120mm), 20mm at the buckle
  • 24mm: 210mm long (85 + 125mm), 22mm at the buckle
What the measurements mean
  • Width: fits between your watch's lugs, so match it to your lug width (a on the diagram).
  • Length: both pieces added together. In brackets, the first figure is the buckle end (c) and the second is the hole end (d).
  • Buckle width: the strap narrows towards the buckle, so this is its width at that end (b).
  • Curved end: the end that meets the watch is shaped to follow a rounded case, so it sits snug with no gap. It's a general curve rather than one made for a particular brand or model, so check your watch has a rounded case between the lugs.

Much improved strap.

Just the job for my Ferrari watch and is the second strap I have had from WSS.
To me this is an improvement on the first, as that was a very hard leather and took ages to soften, eventually cracking - not surprised.
However this replacement should be better. Thank you

I ordered a 22 mm curved watch band, and even though the size was correct, the curvature and pin placement didn’t fit my watch. I paid about $55 total, including shipping. When I contacted the company, they first responded quickly and told me to return it using “second class mail,” which doesn’t exist in the U.S. The cheapest USPS option was $35—more than half the cost of the item.

I asked twice for a return label since it would be cheaper on their end, but I never heard back again. The quality of the band was also below expectations, and now I’m stuck with something I can’t use.

U.S. buyers beware: returning an item is extremely expensive, and customer service stops responding once you question return costs.

Hi Austin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that the watch band did not fit your watch as expected and that you found the return process difficult. Our straps are generally very well reviewed, so we regret that your experience did not meet expectations.

Regarding returns, we do not offer prepaid return labels, and return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. We always aim to suggest the most affordable mailing option available, but unfortunately, international shipping from the U.S. can be expensive and is outside of our control.

Having previously bought many panerai omega and tag straps (£300 plus straps) this matches or even surpasses the look and feel of them, I can’t say how long lasting as it’s brand new , but it looks fantastic .
