If you’ve ever found your watch slightly too tight in warm weather or too loose in the cold, the M1 solves it instantly. No tools. No strap modification. Just a precision 316L stainless steel buckle engineered for daily comfort.

Choosing Your Size
Your Fitwell M1 size is based on the width of your strap at the buckle - not the lug width of your watch.
If your strap is straight (non-tapered): Select the M1 size that matches your lug width.
If your strap tapers toward the buckle: Measure the width of your strap at the buckle end, or the inside width of your current buckle, using a ruler, tape measure, or caliper. Choose the M1 size that matches that measurement.
Most tapered straps narrow by 2–4 mm.
Examples:
A 20mm strap (at the lugs) tapering to 16mm → choose a 16mm M1
A 22mm strap (at the lugs) tapering to 18mm → choose an 18mm M1
Use our easy Fitwell Size Finder to quickly determine your buckle size.
Step 1: Calibrate your screen
Hold a standard credit card to your screen in portrait (vertical) orientation. Adjust the slider until the card image matches your card exactly, edge to edge.

Step 2: Select your strap width
Each buckle is drawn to scale. Hold the end of your strap against the inner opening to find your exact size.
The inner gap of each buckle equals its labeled width, measured on your calibrated screen.

A genius invention
I was recently diagnosed with a wrist injury meaning I can't really wear heavy bracelet watches anymore, so I switched to straps where possible. However, almost every strap I have felt either too loose or too tight and the Fitwell buckles have completely solved that. I bought a few and will definitely be buying again in future. They're a fantastic design and really well made. Plus their customer service is second to none.

Awesome idea
Didn't know I needed this until I saw some videos. Just bought my 2nd one and it makes wearing straps that much more comfortable
