Watch Size Calculator

Your wrist measurement tells you the watch case diameter, strap length and lug width that will look and fit right.

Enter your wrist circumference and we'll suggest a case size, strap length and lug width. Watches are personal โ€” a smaller case can suit a slim wrist and vice versa โ€” so treat this as a well-judged starting point.

Find your watch size

How to measure

  1. Measure your wrist

    Wrap a soft tape (or a strip of paper) snugly around your wrist where the watch sits, just past the wrist bone. Or use our printable tape.

  2. Read the case size

    Case diameter is the main number watches are sold by. A proportionate case looks balanced on your wrist.

  3. Check the lug width

    Lug width (the gap where the strap attaches) sets which straps fit โ€” match it when buying a replacement.

  4. Taste matters too

    Larger cases are in fashion; if you prefer a bigger or smaller look, adjust within the range.

Frequently asked questions

What size watch case for my wrist?

As a guide: under 15 cm wrist suits 34โ€“38 mm, 15โ€“17 cm suits 38โ€“40 mm, 17โ€“19 cm suits 40โ€“44 mm and over 19 cm suits 44 mm and up.

What is lug width?

Lug width is the distance in mm between the lugs where the strap attaches. It determines which straps fit โ€” common widths are 18, 20 and 22 mm.

How this is calculated

Case diameter is suggested from wrist circumference using common watch-fitting bands (slim wrists ~34โ€“38 mm, average ~38โ€“42 mm, larger ~42โ€“46 mm+). Strap length is your wrist circumference plus about 2 cm of comfort; lug width scales with case size. These are guides โ€” case size is partly personal taste.
