Watch Strap Fitting in the United States
29 listed shops
Strap Fitting covers replacing a worn leather, rubber, fabric or metal strap and making sure the new one sits securely on the watch. It is one of the quickest jobs a watch shop does, and many workshops fit a strap while you wait.
The new strap has to match the width between the lugs, and the spring bars that hold it are often replaced at the same time so the strap does not come loose. Some watches use proprietary fittings or integrated straps, which need the correct part for that model.
Many shops sell straps, and most will also fit one you bring. If you want the work done near you the same day, check that the shop has your lug width in stock before you go.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Strap Fitting take?
Strap Fitting is usually a quick job that many shops do while you wait, provided the correct strap width is in stock. Integrated or proprietary straps may need the right part ordered first.
What affects the price of Strap Fitting?
The strap material, whether it is a branded or proprietary strap, and whether new spring bars or a buckle are needed all change the cost. Fitting a strap you bring yourself is usually simpler.
Why does lug width matter for Strap Fitting?
The strap has to match the distance between the lugs of the case exactly, or it will move, gap or strain the spring bars. A shop can measure the lug width for you.
When is it time for Strap Fitting on a worn watch strap?
Cracks, stretched holes, a worn keeper or a loose fit at the lugs are signs a strap is due for replacement. Worn spring bars are a common reason watches fall off the wrist, so they are worth replacing with the strap.
