Just broke your watch strap keeper? No need to panic! At Band-Loop we have the right keeper for your watch strap, but you must know how to measure it accurately so you don't order the wrong size and can enjoy your purchase as soon as it arrives.
Wearing a watch strap without a keeper is very uncomfortable, and risky too — the watch can fall off, get damaged, or even be lost. But which measurement should you choose when several readings are possible? You need the one that matches the keeper you want to buy.
Trying to find an original keeper from a brand like Ice-Watch, Casio, Festina or any other well-known maker can quickly become time-consuming and expensive. Some brands do not offer replacement parts such as an official watch strap keeper, or only at prohibitive prices. We propose an affordable alternative — a high-quality replacement keeper that fits your favourite watch strap.
No watchmaking skills are needed to measure a watch strap keeper. This tutorial only requires a simple graduated ruler — 5 cm is enough to determine the keeper size you need.
The measurement is the same whether your watch has a leather, silicone or any other strap. Do not measure the keeper directly, but the width of the watch strap where the keeper will sit. Here are a few illustrations to show you how to take this measurement easily:
In the photos, the chosen measurement is 18 mm.
And that's it! You now know how to measure a watch strap keeper with a simple ruler. You can apply this guide to a wide range of timepieces and brands. You can now buy a silicone keeper for your watch. If your watch has a leather strap keeper, our website also stocks that type of product. The size shown on each product page is the inner measurement (to match the strap width). If you have any doubt about which size to pick, please contact us.
In our online shop, you will always find the watch strap keeper that meets your needs.
