FAQ

How do you know what size of ChronoLinks watch adapters I need? 

To ensure many watches can be paired with the Leatherman Tread Wearable Multi-Tool, ChronoLinks adapters come in several different sizes. These sizes refer to the “lug width” of your watch. The lug width, measured in millimeter (mm), is the distance between the two lugs on your watch (the horn like parts protruding from the top and bottom of your watch). If you currently have a leather watch band on your watch, the lug width size may already be imprinted on the interior of the strap. If the lug width is not found on the strap, then you can measure using a metric ruler (or a caliper) as shown in the picture below.
