Fit & Sizing
How do I choose a strap that fits my watch?
- Find your watch’s exact model or reference number.
- Check the lug width: the inside distance between the lugs where the strap attaches, measured in millimeters.
- Compare the attachment shape and compatibility information on the product page.
- Select the correct size, color and clasp option before adding the strap to your cart.
Matching the brand or lug width alone does not guarantee a fit. Watches with integrated or specially shaped attachments need a strap designed for that model.
How do I measure lug width?
Measure the gap between the inside edges of the watch lugs at the strap attachment point. Use a millimeter ruler or caliper, or check the specifications for your exact watch reference.
Do not measure the outside of the case or the width of the buckle.
If the attachment is integrated, curved or stepped, contact us before choosing a standard straight-end strap.
Will any strap in the same width fit my watch?
No. Width is only one part of compatibility. The strap end shape, case clearance, spring-bar position and attachment system must also match.
Different versions of the same watch model can use different fittings. Please check the product’s compatibility details rather than choosing by brand alone.
Can I search by watch brand, model or reference?
Yes. Enter the brand, model or full reference number in the store search. You can also add the lug width to narrow your search.
Search results help you find options to review; they are not a fit guarantee. Confirm the model, attachment design and selected size on the product page.
If your reference is not listed, email us before ordering.
I cannot find my watch. Can you help?
Email contact@wellstraps.com with:
- The watch brand and exact model or reference number.
- The lug width, if known.
- Clear photos of the watch and strap attachment.
- A link to the strap you are considering.
We can review the available options. Please wait for confirmation before ordering if the fit is uncertain.
Can the strap be adjusted for my wrist?
Adjustment depends on the design. Straps with holes adjust within their stated length range; some bracelets allow links to be removed. Cut-to-size straps may need permanent trimming.
Check the listed length and adjustment method. If you need a longer or shorter fit, contact us before buying.
Do not cut, resize or permanently alter a strap until compatibility and wrist fit have been checked.
Are the buckle, spring bars and installation tool included?
Contents vary by product and selected option. Check the product description and variant selection for the included clasp, buckle, spring bars or tools.
A buckle, tool or watch shown in a photo is not automatically included. Watches are shown for reference and are not part of the strap purchase.
If the contents are unclear, ask us before ordering.
Can I install the strap myself?
This depends on the watch and strap attachment. Follow the product’s installation instructions and use suitable tools. If you are unsure, have a watchmaker fit the strap.
Before wearing the watch, check that both ends are secure and the clasp closes correctly. Do not force a strap or spring bar into place.
Materials & Care
Are the straps waterproof?
Water suitability depends on the material, construction and clasp. Check the specific product’s care instructions before exposing it to water; we do not give every rubber or metal strap a blanket waterproof rating.
Keep leather straps away from soaking and prolonged moisture.
A strap suitable for water does not change your watch’s own water-resistance rating.
How should I care for my strap?
Follow the care instructions for the specific strap. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents and excessive heat.
Allow a damp strap to dry before storage, and check the buckle, links and spring bars periodically.
Stop using the strap if the attachment or clasp is damaged or insecure.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Returns & Warranty
The strap does not fit. What should I do?
Stop fitting it and email us with your order number, watch reference and photos.
Avoid wearing or altering it while we review the issue. Return or exchange eligibility depends on the item’s condition and the circumstances.
