Finding the perfect strap or accessory for your watch can greatly enhance comfort and style. Our sizing guides help you measure your watch accurately, ensuring the best fit. Whether you have a traditional watch or an Apple Watch, we provide step-by-step instructions to determine the ideal strap size and watch lug width. With these guides, you can confidently choose the perfect straps and accessories to enhance your watch.

Watch and Watch Strap Measurements Sizing Guide

• Traditional Watch Instructions:

1) Open Our Sizing Guide Here. Download Here

2) Print File. In print options dialogue box, uncheck any “shrink oversized pages to fit” or “fit to page” boxes. *IMPORTANT!*

3) After printing, test the accuracy by measuring the “one inch” test strip with a standard ruler.

4) Cut off the inch ruler from the side and wrap around your wrist to determine your wrist size.

5) Hold your watch with the lugs framing the blocks below to determine your lug width. There should be no gap or overlap.

Lug Width Measurement:

To determine your lug width, print the BluShark Watch Sizing Guide in step-1 and place your watch on the measuring blocks located on the bottom of the guide. 

 

• Apple Watch Instructions

1) Open Our Apple Watch Sizing Guide Here. Download Here

2) Print File. In print options dialogue box, uncheck any “shrink oversized pages to fit” or “fit to page” boxes. *IMPORTANT!*

 

3) Cut out the tool. Position the wider end where you would wear a watch. For a more accurate measurement, you can use a piece of tape to hold the wider end in place.

 

 

 

 

4) Wrap the tool around your wrist, keeping it in place. Make sure the tool feels snug and doesn’t slide up or down.

 

 

 

 

5) Note the inch number the arrows point to – that’s your band size.

 

 

 

 

 

6) If the arrows land between two measurements, choose the smaller of the two numbers closest to the line.

 

 

    Adapter Measurement:

    To determine which size adapter you need, use the following guide:

    If your Apple Watch is 42mm, 44mm, or 45mm, you’ll need an adapter that measures 22mm.

    If your Apple Watch is 38mm or 40mm, you’ll need an adapter that measures 20mm.

    If you have a 41mm Apple Watch, choose the 20mm adapter.

    A two-piece design that captures the rugged look of military pass-through straps with modern updates.

    Just like the Mako shark glides through the water with speed and precision, you can swap out straps quickly and effortlessly using the robust 1.8mm quick-release spring bars. Plus, no added bulk from an extra layer of material beneath the watch like you’d get with a pass-through strap, keeping the watch snug to your wrist, and the freedom to show off your watch’s case back without removing the strap!

    • Color: Black. 
    • Material: 1.3mm Ribbed Nylon Weaved

    Introducing the Ribbed Mako FN watch strap. Inspired by the formidably fast Mako shark, scientifically the unique binomial nomenclature of Mako foe nay-dough.

    Built to stand apart, the Ribbed Mako FN features the same bold ribbed nylon weave as our Ribbed Single-Pass strap that adds depth and character, a third "faux: keeper that nods to the double-pass military look, a long tail for tucking, an extra sturdy buckle and tongue seen on our AlphaShark straps, and precision oval heat-sealed adjustment holes to minimize fraying over years of wear. 

    A great complement to most every watch from toolsy sport and dive watches to slim minimalist pieces and classic field watches.  

    Fit Details:
    The Ribbed Mako FN watch strap is designed to comfortably fit wrist sizes from 6.25" to 9.75". Fit may vary depending on how tight or loose you prefer to wear your strap and the size of your watch. For wrists between 6.25" and 8.5", there will be enough length to tuck the strap under both keepers. For wrists above 8.5", the strap will stay secure under the keepers, but won’t have extra length for tucking.

    Great band! Feels very sturdy and having the quick removal spring bars helps to switch out between the other straps I have. Love the color as well

    Really solid strap comfortable as-well, I’m glad I went with it.

    Great strap! One a many Blueshark straps I've purchased. The quality is apparent and for an affordable price.

    This is just one of many Blueshark straps that I've purchased over the years. High quality at an affordable price.

    The watch strap is very comfortable and looks great on my Vaer field watch!

    Very nice soft , I like it , I'll buy more 😍

    Great strap quality, reasonable prices, and super-fast shipping. I will be back. Thanks!

    Great looking watch strap. Using on my Tissot Seastar 1000. The colors are great. The quick connect is great because it keeps the profile of the watch closer to my wrist. I would recommend.

    Really happy with the two-piece Mako strap. It’s comfortable, well made, and most importantly, it works well on a sub-7-inch wrist. The watch sits flat and centered on the wrist without the extra bulk you can get from a traditional nato strap.

    Strap is a bit thin to support a heavy watch. The contort is a 7 out of 10. The hardware, color and look is spot on!

    Very comfortable and looks great.

    nice strap just doesnt work for me

    The strap is well made The hardware is nice The colors are nice the strap just doesn't work for me If you like them reach out to me I will be happy to move them to someone who will use them At the same time I purchased a dark tan and maroon strap neither of which I will use. Thay are nice they just do not work for me

    I had just recently bought a new Certina 40.5 DS Action Diver and had ordered the 2 part Nato strap and loved that one. After seeing how great it looked, I wanted to try the Single Pass Nato on my Citizen Diver, and I love it. The original 2 piece wouldn't fit my Citizen but I loved the look so much I went with the Single pass and it fits and feels incredible. I have purchased multiple bands from BluShark and you can't beat the quality and finish, not to mention the great discounts they offer. I am a true fan of BluShark!

    Great choice with my bronze finish Tissot.

    Very happy with this purchase. It looks and functions as advertised and feels like a quality product.

    The strap was good and I like that it has the quick attach/remove, just that I expected the strap to be more thick and heavy duty, but it's still quality nonetheless

    Nice product perfect as replacement

    Excellent strap for the price.

    Great strap! Nice and breathable for the summer without the extra material of a normal NATO. I really like the army green color on this one and It looks great with my red bezel Alpina Seastrong diver.

    I’m really liking these ribbed Mako straps! Gives the look and feel of a nato without the extra material. This one looks great with a bunch of watches, especially my brown/tan Alpina Seastrong. Feels very well-made and is probably my new favorite strap for thicker watches in the summer.

    These straps are awesome! Gives the look, feel and breathability of a nato without extra material underneath the watch case. This one in particular looks great with my Seiko Samurai among others. Hardware and construction are solid. Feels very well made.

    Strap goes perfect on the Hamilton khaki auto. It is comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on it.

    I initially thought it would be thicker, but the product is great quality but feel it could be more heavy duty

    Strap is great as are all of the straps I’ve purchased! I’m up to around 8 different ones now. All the different materials and models I’ve gotten are of high quality and exactly as described and pictured.

    One of my favorite straps! Look and feel similar to a one piece NATO strap, but with the convenience of quick release spring bars. I may end up with every color!

    Absolutely love the fit and finish. Looks fantastic on my Marathon TSAR

    I absolutely love this strap putting on my Hamilton khaki field and it just fits it perfectly well done Blue Shark

    This strap works great on my Hamilton khaki field 38 mm

    Decent. Materials and fit is great but the faux keeper on the band should be a bit longer or even adjustabled so that way it wouldn’t dig into your skin while wearing. To make it comfy for prolonged usage, I reversed the band with the faux keeper on the outside.

    Great strap at a good price! exactly what I was wanting!

    Its okay. Build materials are great but the faux keeper on the band prevents the watch from sitting close to the wrist. It also seems to dig into the skin if tightened making the strap uncomfortable over long periods of time. I would probably suggest that the faux keeper be moved further down the strap to prevent this in future iterations.

    Really great look and well fitting strap for my c60 gmt Christopher Ward

    Love the fit of this two piece strap. I have always loved the look of a NATO strap, but found them difficult to put on and uncomfortable. This strap is extremely easy to put on and very comfortable to wear.

    This one might be my favorite of the series, judging from the number I have of them. Don't sell me anymore of this particular strap. I own enough of them.

    Classy Mr Bond. James Bond. The Bond series of watch straps are my favorites. You can find a strap that will go with just about anything and make you look good doing it. Now BlueShark needs to add the Commander Bond strap to round out the series. So I'm still waiting.

    This combination looks like it means business. It will go with almost anything. I appreciate it

    Good looking strap that matches the watch that I put it on. It's a real good combination that's as durable as it is good looking. Thanks a ton.

    Great watch strap, I had put this on one of my DIY dive watches, and it really tied the look together with burgundy and cream colored accents. Looks like a very unassuming NATO strap while still sitting lower on the wrist and letting the exhibition case back really show when at rest.
