Ensure that our band can seamlessly replace your existing strap.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT BAND FOR MY WATCH?

HOW DO I MEASURE MY WRIST?

Another important measurement to take into account is your wrist size! Avoid guessing or measuring an existing watch strap, as this can lead to inaccuracies. To measure your wrist, simply use a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your wrist; your wrist size is where the zero mark meets the highest number on the tape!
