Watch lug width chart and strap size guide
Lug width is the gap between the two lugs where the strap attaches, measured in millimeters. As a sanity check, lug width is usually about half the case diameter: 40 mm watches take 20 mm straps, 42 to 44 mm watches take 22 mm. Smaller dress watches are 18 or 19 mm, and some (Orient Bambino, Tissot Gentleman) use 21 mm. Buy a strap exactly that width; a 20 mm strap on 22 mm lugs leaves a visible gap and lets the strap slide. The chart below lists every watch we track by brand.

How to measure lug width
Take the strap off (or look from above) and measure the inside distance between the lugs with a ruler or calipers. Round to the nearest millimeter. If you get 21.5, the watch almost certainly uses 22 mm and the lugs have slight tolerance, or it is a 21 mm watch on a tight strap. Check the manufacturer's spec before ordering; our watch pages carry the published figure.
Straps that fit, by width
These are the straps we list on Amazon for each width, with today's price. They carry no Value Score; a strap has no spec table. Quick-release pins are noted in the name where the listing states them. The 20 mm and 22 mm widths have their own pages with buying notes: best 20 mm straps, best 22 mm straps, NATO and nylon straps.

Taper, thickness and pins
A strap is sold by its lug-end width; "20/18" means 20 mm at the lugs tapering to 18 mm at the buckle. Taper makes a strap feel lighter. Thickness matters for fit under cuffs and for how the strap passes through the spring bars; divers with fat spring bars (Seiko) need a strap with a generous hole. Quick-release pins let you swap without a tool and are worth paying for if you will change straps more than twice.
Spring bars
Most watches use 1.5 mm spring bars. Seiko divers use 2.5 mm "fat" bars that will not fit many aftermarket straps; buy straps that state Seiko compatibility or swap the bars. A spring bar tool costs under $10 and prevents scratched lugs; a pocket knife does not.
