So, I got this Timex S1 watch, right? Looks pretty slick, but I wanted to swap out the band. Thought it would be a breeze, but figuring out the lug width was a bit of a head-scratcher.
First, I grabbed my ruler, thinking I could just eyeball it. Yeah, that didn’t work out so well. It’s hard to get a precise measurement when you’re trying to hold the watch still and line up the ruler just right. I ended up with some wonky numbers that I knew couldn’t be right.
Next, I tried searching online. “Timex S1 lug width,” I typed into the search bar. You’d think that would be an easy thing to find, but nope! I scrolled through tons of product listings and reviews, but no one seemed to mention the lug width. It was like some big secret that only watch experts knew.
- Went to the official Timex website.
- Checked the product page for the S1.
- Found nothing about the lug width.
Feeling a bit defeated, I almost gave up. But then I remembered I had a digital caliper. Yeah, I know, who has one of those just lying around? Well, I do, for some reason. Anyway, I dusted it off, fired it up, and carefully measured the space between the lugs.
Finally, a breakthrough!
The caliper read 20mm. So, there it is, the magic number. The Timex S1 has a lug width of 20mm. Now I can finally order a new band and give my watch a fresh look. It took a bit longer than I expected, but hey, at least I got it figured out.
Hope this helps anyone else who’s trying to find the lug width of their Timex S1. Don’t waste your time with a ruler, trust me. If you don’t have a caliper just go straight ask the customer service, it is also a solution. Save yourself the headache and just order a 20mm band. You can thank me later!
