How to Measure Your Watch

To choose the correct size watch strap for your watch, you just need to know the watch's Lug Width. The surest way to know the lug width is to measure it with a metric ruler in millimeters.

 

Strap Attachment Styles

Our straps come in three attachment styles for connecting to your watch: Quick Release, One-Piece Military Style, and Apple Watch. Each style has unique functions and features. 

 

  

Matching the color and finish of a custom buckle to your watch, makes the strap feel seamless and integrated with the watch design. Sizing your buckle to an Archer watch strap is simple. Most of our straps feature a straight design (not tapered), so the buckle size for those straps is the same as the strap size. 

Our Quick Release Leather straps have a 2mm taper down the length of the strap, so the buckle size for those is 2mm narrower than the strap width. For instance, a 20mm Quick Release Leather strap uses an 18mm buckle.

If you need a new buckle for your own tapered strap you will want to measure the width of the buckle end of your strap. A metric ruler is the easiest tool to measure the buckle end.

All our buckles come with an installation hole on the side so you can access the spring bar with household objects like a paper clip. However if you want to remove another buckle, the best tool for the job is an Archer Spring Bar Tool.

Wrist Fitting

Our straps fit the vast majority of wrists. If you're unsure if our straps will fit a very large or very small wrist, check out the measurements on any of our product pages. Remember to consider the size of your watch because that will affect the circumference of the installed strap.
