How to Measure Your Wrist for a Watch Strap

How to Measure Your Wrist for a Watch Strap
At Malibu Canyon Leather, we want your watch strap to fit perfectly. Follow these simple steps to measure your wrist and find the right size for your handcrafted strap. Our straps are designed to suit most wrist sizes, ensuring comfort and style for every adventurer.
What You’ll Need
  • A flexible measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler).
  • A watch with the lug width you’re ordering
  • A pen and paper to note your measurement.
Steps to Measure Your Wrist
  1. Wrap the Measuring Tape: Wrap the flexible measuring tape around your wrist where you wear your watch, just below the wrist bone. If using a string, wrap it snugly, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length with a ruler.
  2. Record the Measurement: Note the measurement in millimeters—this is your wrist circumference. For example, a 7-inch wrist is approximately 178mm.
  3. Add Watch Thickness: Wear your watch and measure the total length around your wrist (including the watch case). This ensures the strap fits comfortably over the watch. Typically, add 5–10mm to your wrist circumference to account for the watch case thickness.
  4. Choose Your Strap Size: Compare your total measurement (wrist + watch) to our strap sizes below. Select the size that matches or is slightly larger for a comfortable fit.
