How to Measure Your Wrist

  1. Use a flexible tape measure - Or a strip of paper/string
  2. Wrap around your wrist - Just below the wrist bone where you'd wear a bracelet
  3. Note where it overlaps - Don't pull too tight; it should be snug but comfortable
  4. Measure the paper/string - Lay it flat against a ruler if you used paper
