How do I find out my husbands watch bracelet size without asking him?

  Does he have dress shirts in the closet? The cuff should fasten comfortably around the wrist and not slip over the width of his palm, right?

  Just take one of his other watches to the ship and ask them for one the same size.

  Tell him you want to get him something that he’ll wear, but that you don’t want to spoil the surprise. Then go and measure him in a bunch of different places. He’ll know he’ll be getting some sort of item of clothing or apparel, but he won’t know whether he’s getting shoes, a shirt, a watch, or a ring.

    Do I measure his wrist?

    His Watch bracelets are about 6 1/2 inches. He has a kit to make bracelets smaller. He enjoyed removing the links. Do I just buy a 6.75 bracelet?

  Cut his arm off in his sleep. While he’s rushed to hospital and they stitch his arm back on, sneak out with his watch.

  Most watches come with removable links. So they can be retrofitted. And chain style bands are adjustable.

  I did this for my girlfriend, now wife.

  Do it while he’s sleeping. If he wakes, gaslight gaslight gaslight.

    There are four gaslights

    If you put the light out all you have is gas which will help keep them sleeoing.

  Get a friendship bracelet kit for funsies. These are the bracelets where each bead is a letter, a heart or a cheap plastic thing. Tell him “I’m making friendship bracelets to put in the stockings for Christmas. I need to practice on you” Make him one. Tell him not to shower with it because the metal is bad quality. You now have his wrist size.

  You can also memorize the bracelet order and aragement of the beads and make a copy when he’s gone.

  If he’s a heavy enough sleeper you can wrap a string around his wrist and mark where it meets to get a close estimate and then talk to a jeweler about what that corresponds to

  Before we go any further, how tight does your husband wear his watch? To a lot of people it’s really particular. If we’re guessing use a string and try to match his current habits, if not have a slightly taught string around his wrist and measure.

  Or borrow his current watch.

    His current watches are about 6.5 inches if I measure the bracelet and not the watch face.

  Does he wear a watch usually? You could measure that if so.

  Even if it’s not a fixed size, you could tell by the wear on the band what the size is

    how do I do this?

      Sort of depends on the material, look for a line thats worn where the buckle rides, or if one of the holes is a bit mis shaped from use. Might be signs of dirtier or cleaner spots.

  Alternatively, get him a watch and a little set to resize it himself. My smartwatch came with a set and I love that little hammer which I can use to bang out the pins and resize it. Only needed to do it twice till now but so glad I had the option to do it myself rather than having to get a jeweler to do it.

  Little hammers are fun!

    He loves his watch kit. I suppose I could get a 9 inch watch bracelet, which is extreme overkill.

  First, try love handcuffs on him and note how they fit.

  Does he already have a watch? Does he ever take it off? Check the size that it’s set at when he uses it

    How do you check the size? Sorry I have the brain of a potato
