FINDING A WATCH BAND THAT FITS.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WRIST FOR A WATCH BAND.
You can find a little measuring tape in most simple sewing kits. Or, here’s a simple life hack for ya: all you have to do is take a piece of paper, cut a thin strip and wrap it around your wrist. Then, mark or hold the spot and hold that piece of paper up to the ruler that is laying around your house somewhere. You’ll want to take note of the measurement in millimeters (mm). If you need to convert inches to millimeters, click here.

This is where you have to do the deep dive and figure out how long the watch band in your shopping cart actually is, and compare the length to the size of your wrist. Don’t worry, if you’re looking to buy a watch band that doesn’t cause any sweat rash or irritation, we’ve listed the watch band length of each individual style of Groove Watch Band in this article!
