Where do I find sizing information for your straps?

Strap lengths are listed on every product page in millimeters (the watch industry’s standard unit for communicating strap measurements). Just expand the section that says "Two lengths for a perfect fit"

How do I know if your straps will fit me?

Great question!  Our strap lengths are mapped to wrist sizes (sometimes referred to as "bracelet sizes") to help you tell which bands will fit best.

Don’t feel like breaking out the tape measure? We suggest going with our “Standard” length. It fits most of our customers, and you can exchange it as needed.

How do I measure my wrist?

To measure your wrist circumference, hold your arm out with your hand relaxed. With your other hand, wrap a soft measuring tape around your wrist. A piece of ribbon / string also works if you don't have a measuring tape. Mark where the beginning of the ribbon hits the part that wraps around, then lay flat and measure the length with a ruler.

 

What if I’m in between sizes? 

We usually recommend sizing down, unless you’re right on the upper limit. If you like a looser fit, size up!

 

 

How snug should the watch band fit my wrist?

It's a personal preference! We suggest that one pinky finger should fit comfortably underneath the band. All watches come with adjustable bands to allow you to find the perfect fit.

 

 

 

What if I receive my watch and the strap is the wrong size?

No problem! We’ll help you exchange your strap for another length ASAP (complimentary)

 

 

 

 

How do I change my strap?

 

Most of our watch straps use quick release spring bars. This means that you can change straps out yourself in a flash, without tools. The reel below shows you how!
