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.

    Standard Double-Flanged Spring Bars

    Sometimes you just need the classic, tried-and-true hardware. Our stainless steel standard spring bars provide a secure, traditional mount for your favorite watch straps. Designed with a double flange (the small ridges near the ends), these bars give your spring bar tool a solid grip, making strap changes as smooth and easy as possible.

    Sold as a pair, these are the perfect replacements to keep in your watch box for whenever you need a reliable, everyday spring bar.

    Specifications

    • The Body (1.7mm): A solid middle ground that fits perfectly into the overwhelming majority of watch straps, including traditional two-piece bands and pass-through straps.

    • The Tip (0.7mm): The standard pin size, precision-made to seat firmly into the lug holes of almost every standard watch on the market.

    • Material: High-quality, durable stainless steel.

    Watch Compatibility & Alternatives

    These are standard size and will fit the overwhelming majority of watches, from dress pieces and field watches to chronographs and everyday wearers.

    Looking for different options?

    • Want to go tool-free? If you love the convenience of swapping straps in seconds without reaching for a tool, check out our Standard Quick-Release Spring Bars

    • Have a dive watch with larger lugs? If your watch takes a fatter spring bar with oversized lug holes (like many popular Seiko divers), a standard 0.7mm tip will sit loosely and rattle. For those heavier tool watches, you'll want to try our Fat Spring Bars for a rock-solid fit.

    Available in 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm.

    They seem about as good as the spring bars that came with my watch, possibly slightly easier to install for straps, but I was hoping it’d make installing my bracelet easier. Maybe user error, but I wasn’t able to install the bracelet at all with these spring bars, then I tried the originals and it worked basically right away. If you’re looking for a spring bar upgrade, these definitely aren’t a vast improvement, but if you need a replacement, these should do the job. But also my Hamilton spring bars were evidently already fairly high quality. I’m not sure about the bracelet thing though, I’d have to do more research to see if it was my fault or the spring bars.

    Store owner replied: Hey Aaron, Sorry to hear these didn't work with your bracelet. Our spring bars weren't designed specifically for use with bracelets and are intended more for pass-through and two-piece straps. Bracelets can sometimes have very specific measurements and tolerances, which can make finding a compatible spring bar a bit more difficult.

    No photos here because I traded the quick release spring bars with these ones and I am totally happy. There is something in me that doesn't rely on this quick release spring bar, so this ones were the perfect solution

    One fell out after being installed properly.

    Store owner replied: Hey Nick, Thats not good to hear! Definitely unusual for these. Sounds like a manufacturing issue going on. Have you reach out to support so we could get you free replacements asap?

    I ordered 18mm bars from three different sites, each claiming to fit my G-Shock. These were the only ones that actually were compatible and fit. Thank you for actually serving your customers and providing the products they need and expect.

    Spring Bars (pair)

    I lost one of my old spring bars. My first reaction was "crud", what a pain in the butt it's going to be to replace it. Then I remembered BluShark from past purchases. I went to the site, and, sure enough, they had two types. Two days later, they arrived at my door. BRAVO!!!

    Store owner replied: Glad we had what you needed! Thank you for the review, Eric.

    Kinda pricey for what it is, but solid little spring bars

    I've been purchasing straps from you guys for years. They arrive quickly, and I'm never disappointed

    Spring Bars (pair)

    Excepted $3 spring bars to be delieverd in an envelope but they actually came in a sturdy box. "Thank you" email from the owner was also a breath of fresh air. We need more wonderful family-owned businesses such as yours. Will definitely shop again in the future.
