Measuring your watch width to insure a perfect fit is easy. All you need is a stiff ruler and your watch, of course.

Please follow the instructions in the diagram below.

Our Watch Width Sizing Guide provides an alternative way for you to measure your watch width. Click on the thumbnail image at the bottom of the page to download it then follow the printing instructions.

Measuring your watch length to insure a perfect fit is easy. All you need is a stiff ruler.

Measuring your wrist is quick and easy. All you need is a soft, pliable tape measure (not metal), or print the Wrist Sizing Guide at the bottom of this page.

Simply wrap it around your wrist in the same place you wear your watch. Be sure to make it as tight or as loose as you wear your watch. Where the end of the tape measure aligns with one of the tick marks is your wrist size.

IMPORTANT: You should not measure the length of an existing watchband to determine your wrist size. Watchbands are always made larger than your wrist size to allow the end of the band to tuck under the keeper. 

Don’t have a tape measure? No worries! We’ve created a printable Wrist Sizing Guide with instructions and a tape measure you can cut out and use to get your wrist size. Bet you didn’t know this would be a crafting tutorial!

Watches are manufactured in a variety of widths. Our Narrow Macrabands will fit watch widths from 5/16” to 1/2” and in most cases, our Wide will fit watch widths from 7/16” to 3/4”.

Due to the adjustability of a Macraband, a watch width of 7/16" or 1/2” works beautifully on either a  Narrow or Wide band. Your choice!

The picture below shows the same watch with both a Narrow and a Wide band.
