Watch Parts Info

Today people are going to the internet to buy everything from ballpoint pens to million dollar homes. While the internet can be a convenient and affordable method for making purchases, it is nearly impossible to gauge the appropriate size of an item of clothing or an accessory with trying it on. The sizes of items like shoes and shirts vary by designer, making it nearly impossible to be certain of your purchase.

Luckily, there is a uniform method employed by watchmakers when sizing watch bands. The width measurement is always recorded in millimeters and should match the size of the face. The length of the band is also measured in millimeters and excludes the buckle. A lady’s band is typically 6-15mm, while a man’s is 16mm and up.
