At Astra Straps, all our straps have specific and clear sizes indicated. Please check the sizing guide below before ordering. If you are still unsure, you may contact us here.
Simply use a flexible measuring tape to wrap around your wrist and record the measurement on the tape that overlaps the zero end of the tape OR just grab any string/paper strips to do the same, then lay the string on a ruler to get your accurate wrist size.
In most cases, knowing your wrist size/length will be sufficient. Check your wrist size against the size of the strap that you wish to purchase on the individual product details page.
From there, you can select and purchase our watch straps: Small (S), Large (L) or Free Size.


In certain cases, knowing your wrist size alone may not be sufficient. In such a scenario, you will need the watches' band width size, also know as the watch lug width size.
Your Apple watch will say the measurement on the back.

If you cant find the size on the back place the watch with the watch face facing up. Take the measurement of the distance between the lugs (where the watch strap fits).
For Apple Watches the you have the choice between 38MM, 40MM, 41MM, 42MM, 44MM, 45MM & 49MM, you can also enter your watch model number into a search engine to find what size your watch uses.
Apple Watch 7, 8, and 9: The Apple Watch Series 7, 8, and the newly released Series 9 are compatible with a wide range of our bands, including sizes 38MM, 40MM, 41MM, 42MM, 44MM, 45MM, and 49MM. For watch cases, they fit the 41MM and 45MM sizes.
Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2: The recently introduced Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 are compatible with 45MM and 49MM bands. As for the watch cases, both the Ultra and Ultra 2 models are available in a 49MM size.
Using these three measurement data points, you are now ready to grab your strap!

Great question! At Astra Straps, we don’t just make bands – we craft them.
Every single band is hand-finished to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail. We’re all about combining top-notch materials with unique designs that reflect your personal style.
Plus, we test every band for comfort and durability, so you can count on a strap that’s as strong as it is stylish. When you choose Astra Straps, you’re not just getting a band – you’re getting a piece of wearable art.
Why settle for one when you can have both? Our bands are designed to look amazing and feel just as great.
We’ve obsessed over comfort, so you don’t have to. It's a stainless steel mesh band, so it's got a structured feel. Slim, lightweight, and comfortable for everyday wearability.
We’ve put our bands through the wringer because we know you don’t have time to baby your watch.
Whether you're hitting the gym, caught in the rain, or dealing with your most accident-prone friend, these bands are built to last. Bring on the hustle!
Most people use a tape measure (or even just a string) to wrap around their wrist, then add half an inch. But don’t stress – most of our bands are super adjustable, so unless your wrists are tiny or extra large, the standard size should work just fine. Still not sure? Reach out to us, we’re here to help!
We get it – sometimes things just don’t work out. If you’re not in love within 100 days, send it back, no questions asked. We’ll refund you, no drama. We want you to have a band you absolutely love.
We’re all about speed. Most orders ship within 1-3 days, and you can expect it to arrive shortly after.
Plus, if you spend over $50, shipping is on us. Because let’s be real, no one wants to pay extra for shipping.
Nope! We believe in keeping things simple. Everything you need is in the box. No sneaky extra fees or “must-have” connectors. Just open it, snap it on, and you’re good to go.
Super easy! Silicone bands just need a quick rinse with soap and water. Leather ones? Just a gentle wipe down.
Metal ones can be cleaned with a soft cloth. And don’t worry – we’ll send you a full care guide, but these bands are pretty low maintenance.
Customers praised this slim stainless steel watch band for its elegant, versatile design that works with both casual and formal outfits.

(Astra Straps did not ask me to submit a review) I ordered the Aere Slim Stainless Steel watch band for my Apple iWatch December 19, 2022 and received it December 30, 2022. I placed my order and as an afterthought, I decided to search the legitimacy of the company and its products; there were many negative reviews. I was very disappointed, so I contacted Astra Straps to cancel my order, informing them of my findings. Their response was quick and understanding, but apologized that my order was in transit. So, when I receive the watch band, if I was still dissatisfied, they would work with me to remedy the situation. Well, I am happy that the watch band was sent! I absolutely love the look, fit and comfort! You can't always trust what you read on internet. Thank you Astra Straps!
Been wearing this slim stainless steel band everyday for a few weeks now and its been a great upgrade honestly. Feels comfterable on my wrist, clasp stays secure, gives my watch a more polished look for work and weekends both.
Ive been using this band for about a month now. Looks great with both casual and busness clothes, and its easy to wipe clean. Fit has stayed secure through daily wear 🙂
Wanted something a lil dressier then a silicone band and this was exactly it. Slim design looks elegant, links feel smooth, held up good with regular use 👍
Quality exceeded my expectations tbh. Connectors lock in secure, finish still looks great after weeks of use, already ordered another color.
