The first thing you will need to do is determine how the band is attached. There is the standard attachment and the integrated attachment. Most have the standard style and they are the easiest to change.
The next thing you need to do is to measure the distance between the two lugs on the watch case, this will tell you how wide your band can be. Measuring in millimeters will make it easier on you as most watches bands are figured that way. If you only have a ruler that measures inches, you can measure that way and then pull up a conversion chart on your computer to figure out the millimeters.
The next thing to do is to measure your watch band once it is removed from the case. In order to do this, take a ruler and place the buckle off the end of the ruler so it won’t be measured. Then put the other strap end to end with the first one. This will give the total length of the strap you need. If you have purchased watches or bands in the past and never paid attention to the size of the band, you probably take a ‘regular’ sized band.
Once you have determined the size of the band you require, you can get online or even go to a store and find bands that are your size. If your current band is close too being to small or too big you may want to adjust the size of the new band to take that into consideration.
