Measuring Your Wrist: The Foundation for a Perfect Fit

The first step to finding the right BluShark strap size is determining the circumference of your wrist. While measuring your wrist might seem like a simple task, using the appropriate technique will ensure that you achieve the most accurate measurement for a comfortable fit.

Use a Flexible Tape Measure - Wrap a flexible tape measure snugly around your wrist, just above the wrist bone. Take note of the measurement where the tape meets, rounding up to the nearest quarter-inch if necessary. If you don't have a flexible tape measure, use a piece of string or ribbon and measure its length against a ruler afterward.

Finding Your Comfort Zone - Consider how you like your watch to fit when choosing a strap size. Some people prefer a snug-fitting watch, while others like a bit more breathing room. Adjust your wrist measurement accordingly to accommodate your personal preference.

Understanding Your Watch's Lug Width

To ensure the best possible fit, it's essential to know your watch's lug width – the distance between the two points where the strap is attached to the watch case. Here's how to find the correct lug width for your watch:

Check the Manufacturer's Information - Many watch brands and manufacturers include lug width specifications on their websites or in their user manuals. Consult these resources to find the correct lug width for your timepiece.

Measure It Yourself - If your watch's lug width is not readily available, carefully measure the distance between the lugs using a ruler or digital calipers. Be sure to measure from the inside of one lug to the inside of the other lug for the most accurate result.

Choosing the Right BluShark Strap Size

BluShark offers an extensive range of nylon, silicone, and leather watch straps in multiple sizes. With your wrist measurement and watch lug width in hand, you can now confidently choose the perfect strap size to ensure a comfortable and stylish fit.

18mm Straps - Ideal for those with smaller wrists or those who prefer a slimmer band width, 18mm straps work well with classic and petite watch models. For an elegant option, consider the Nylon - Navy strap or the Leather Kwik Change Black Crocodile Grain strap.

20mm Straps - Versatile and suited to a wide range of watch styles, 20mm straps are a popular option for many wrist sizes. Explore BluShark's AlphaShark - Bond strap for a classic look or the Silicone Kwik Change - Orange strap for a pop of color.
