The Hidden Measurement
Lug-to-lug is the distance from the top lug tip to the bottom lug tip. It is often more important than diameter.
Why It Matters
- Wrist coverage: determines how much wrist the watch covers
- Comfort: too long lugs overhang and dig in
- Proportion: affects how the watch looks on your wrist
