Choosing the Right Colour for Your 20mm Watch Strap - From Light Brown to Dark Brown or Even a Classic 20mm Black Watch Strap

The colour of your new watch strap can really make or break how your watch looks.

A classic black or dark brown leather strap is a great choice if you've got a traditional watch with a silver, gold or black case. Tan & light brown straps give a warmer look that goes really well with vintage watches.

If you want something a bit more modern, then blue or green watch straps are a good bet. Navy blue works really well with stainless steel & silver cases, while green gives a distinctive look that works with black, bronze & brushed metal finishes.

Red, orange & yellow straps are great if you want something bold, while grey, white & beige are good if you want something a bit more understated. Pink is a softer option, while purple is a bolder choice.

We've got loads of different colours & materials to choose from, so you can totally experiment to find the one that works for you, as the right choice often comes down to personal preference.

How to Measure Your Watch for a 20mm Replacement Strap

Before you order a new watch strap, first make sure your watch actually needs one that's 20mm.The measurement you are looking for is called the lug width. This watch's lug width is the space between the two lugs where your watch strap attaches to the case - the edges inside where the strap hooks on.

To measure your watch use the following steps:

1. Find the spot where your existing strap hooks into the watch case.
2. Take a ruler or digital callipers and measure across the inside of the lugs.
3. It's probably worth checking if the strap width is printed on the underside of your current strap to confirm what size your watch takes - but measurements in millimetres are what you are after.
4. You'll usually find you're looking at a 18mm, 20mm or 22mm measurement; so if your watch measures up at 20mm then a 20mm strap is probably what you'll want to go for.

This Lug width measurement is separate from the size of the case of your watch, or the length of the strap itself.

Some watches will have unusual lug shapes or special strap attachment systems, so do make sure to check the compatibility of any replacement strap before you buy. If you're reusing existing hardware, check the buckle or deployment-clasp width at the strap tail end as well.

A 20mm strap is designed to fit a 20mm Lug width; it's a common size, and matching that width is what gives the watch a secure, comfortable, natural fit rather than a tighter or looser one.

What Is the Difference Between 20mm and 22mm Watch Straps?

The difference is the width of the strap where it hooks onto the watch. A straightforward enough measure as it turns out.

A 20mm strap measures 20 millimetres across the Lug attachment, and a 22mm strap measures 22 millimetres.

You might be thinking that the difference is too small to notice, but the correct width gives a secure, comfortable fit and helps you get the perfect fit. If your watch has 20mm lugs dont go and try to get a 22mm strap if you want the perfect strap.

Frequently Asked Questions About 20mm Watch Straps

Which Watches Use a 20mm Watch Strap?

Lots of traditional men's and womens watches use a 20mm lug width - including dress watches, automatic watches, chronographs field watches, sports watches and some diving watches. Always double check the lug width of your watch before buying.

How Do I Know if I Need a 20mm Watch Strap?

Simply measure the distance between the inside edges of your watch lugs where the strap hooks in. If this measurement is 20mm, you'll generally need a 20mm strap. A calliper will give you a pretty accurate measurement, but a ruler will also do.

Is 20mm a standard strap size?

Yes - 20mm is one of the most commonly used lug widths on traditional watches. Its available in loads of different materials - you'll find lots of variety in leather, rubber, nylon, NATO, canvas and stainless steel designs.

Can I use a 20mm strap on a 22mm watch?

Dont try to mix it - a 20mm strap is only designed to fit a 20mm lug width. If your watch has 22mm lugs you need a 22mm strap. Using the wrong size will end up with an insecure or poor fitting strap.

What is the Best Material for a 20mm Watch Strap?

This really depends on how you'll be wearing your watch. If it's a formal, traditional watch, then leather is a great choice. For something more sporty, rubber or FKM might be a better option. NATO and nylon straps are really comfortable to wear, and if you want to go for a more serious look then a stainless steel bracelet is the way to go.

Are 20mm leather watch straps okay for everyday wear?

Absolutely - quality leather straps are made to be used every day. Just be mindful that leather does get a bit wet and sweaty if you're wearing it a lot, so try to take it off if you're swimming or doing something where the strap might get exposed to water for a while.

Are 20mm Rubber Watch Straps Water-Proof?

Rubber and FKM watch straps are very water-resistant - perfect for swimming and loads of other water-based activities - but to be honest the water-resistance of the whole watch is going to depend on the watch itself, not just the strap.

Do Your 20mm Watch Straps Come With Quick Release Spring Bars?

Our watch straps come with the fittings as described on their individual product pages. Loads of them feature quick release spring bars or quick release pins that make fitting a lot easier, while others just come with standard spring bars - so be sure to check the individual listing to see what you can expect.

Can I Change a 20mm Watch Strap Myself?

Yeah, most watch straps can be changed at home using a spring bar tool or the quick release mechanism if you've got one. And actually the quick-release straps are particularly handy because they use a small lever on the underside of the spring bar, so you can remove it by hand without tools and reduce the risk of scratching the watch case.

What Length 20mm Watch Strap Should I Get?

It really does depend on your wrist size and what watch you've got. Most straps are made in standard lengths but if you've got a wrist that's a bit on the small or large side you should probably check the sizes provided on the individual product page before you order. A watch strap should fit snugly but not too tight, allowing for slight movement on the wrist. A strap that is too tight can cause discomfort and restrict blood flow.

Can I Get Different Colours Of The Same 20mm Watch Strap?

Yeah you can. We've got a huge range of colours and materials to choose from, so you can pick out several different straps for the same watch. You can easily swap from a black leather to a brown leather to a colourful rubber to a nylon, depending on what you're wearing and the occasion.

Are 20mm Watch Straps Suitable For Women's Watches?

Yeah they are. While 20mm is often found on men's watches theres plenty of women's watches that use this width too. What really matters is the actual measurement of the lug rather than whether its a mens or womens watch.
