To know your ring size, you need to measure the circumference of your finger or the diameter of a ring you usually wear.
Take a tape measure or a piece of paper, wrap it around your finger, mark the limits and transfer the measurement to a graduated ruler to know the circumference.
In this table you will find the correspondence between ring size and finger circumference (in cm):

You can also measure the diameter of one of your rings with a ruler. Place the ruler on your ring and measure the space between its inner edges and the center of the ring. This method is the most accurate.
Watch sizing is generally adjustable. Here are the steps to follow to adjust your watch strap to fit your wrist.
1 - Step One - Measure the Watch Strap : To know how many links to remove, wear your watch strap on your wrist as you would like to wear it, then hold the loose portion of the excess strap to pretend they are being removed. The dangling links will tell you how many links you will need to remove first.
2 - Gather your tools. You will need tools to remove the links from your watch:
3 - Prepare your work environment. Work in a clutter-free workspace to avoid possible loss of workpieces.
4 - Choose the stitch you need to remove. Use your pin punch to push the pin that holds the stitch you are going to remove.
5 - Reassemble the watch strap. After removing all the links you wanted, you'll put the pins back into the strap to finish the job. Here's how:
6 - Try on your watch. Your watch should now be the right size for your wrist if you have removed the correct number of links. If you still find it too big, remove more links.
