Why buy a replacement 22mm watch strap? 

Our 22mm watch straps are bold, stylish, and functional and fit larger watches. A bold watch needs a strong 22mm watch strap to match. If you’ve been searching for a slightly wider strap to match your watch’s lug width, you’re in the right place. 

We stock all of the most popular replacement watch straps in a 22mm lug width, as well as some hidden gems including quick release bands that are only available in this size. 

But why buy from our UK store? 

Aside from the fact that your watch needs a certain lug width, 22mm watch straps can tick some other, more surprising, boxes. Here are some of our favourite things about these wider bands: 

Bigger is Better: With a 22mm watch strap, there’s more "strap space" to play with unique designs and stand-out styles. Whether you choose a bold colour or make a statement with a funky pattern, there’ll always be more of it with 22mm of space.

Enhanced Comfort: While some may associate wider straps with discomfort, our 22mm watch straps are fashioned from high-quality materials, making them perfect for all-day wear with no irritation. With our 22mm leather watch straps, you can enjoy a balance of substance and comfort, ensuring that your wrist feels as good as it looks. 

Durability: Many of our 22mm watch straps are fashioned from robust materials to withstand the test of time. This ensures that your wrist-wear, for example the 22mm NATO strap, the UK’s favourite military style strap, remains as reliable as the day you first put it on. 

As a niche watch strap company for discerning individuals working with discerning budgets, The Thrifty Gentleman prioritises convenience without sacrificing customisation. 

Just because you’re constrained by a specific lug width doesn’t mean you should have to give up your personal style. So, what are you waiting for? Find everything from 22mm Milanese watch straps to 22mm Marine Nationale single loops right here.

FAQs on the range 

What does 22mm mean for a watch band? 

When you hear of a 22mm watch strap, it refers to the width of the band where it attaches to the watch case itself. It is the measurement between the lugs, which are the points where the band connects to the watch. 

How do I know what size replacement watch band I need? 

To find the correct size watch band you need, and in particular if looking for a 22mm watch strap replacement, measure the distance between the watch lugs. Alternatively, check with the retailer or brand to find out your watch’s specifications or the current band for size markings. 

What is the difference between a 20mm and 22mm strap? 

It’s very simple, the difference between a 22mm watch band replacement and that of 20mm is 2mm in width at the lugs, and the width of the band. 22mm watch straps tend to be designed to be used on large and more robust watches and typically provides a more substantial look – for example with our military style replacement bands.  

What size is a standard watch strap? 

There isn’t a universal "standard" size as it depends on the watch, but common widths range from 18mm to 24mm. The most common sizes for men’s watches are 20mm and 22mm watch bands.
