See written instructions below the video as well.
What You'll Need
- Fabric measuring tape (most accurate)
- OR a strip of paper + ruler + pen/pencil
The 3-Step Process
Step 1: Find Your Measuring Spot
Measure around your wrist just below the wrist bone - this is where your watch will naturally sit.
Step 2: Get Your Measurement
With measuring tape: Wrap snugly but comfortably around your wrist. You should be able to slide one finger underneath.
With paper strip: Wrap around wrist, mark where it overlaps, then measure the length with a ruler.
Step 3: Add Comfort Buffer
For most people: Add 0.5 inches to your measurement
For loose fit preference: Add 0.75 inches
For snug fit preference: Add 0.25 inches

Pro Tips from Our Workshop
Measure twice: Check your measurement - it's easier than return shipping
Consider the season: If ordering in winter but plan summer wear, account for wrist expansion
Account for watch weight: Heavier watches (steel sports models) can be sized slightly looser for comfort
When in doubt: Go slightly larger - micro-adjustments are easier than major resizing
