Watch Fit Tool

For sports watches, lug-to-lug (L2L) is what matters most — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.

Balanced Fit

46.2mm on a 55mm wrist

10:09TUE 12lug to lug 46.2mmyour wrist 55.0mm

Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.

On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 4753mm lug to lug. This one is 46.2mm, so you could go bigger.

How to Measure

Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.

  1. 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
  2. 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
