Fit & sizing notes for the Marlin Automatic 40
- Width: buy 20mm straps. Tapered straps listed as 20/18mm or 20/16mm fit too; only the first number has to match. See strap sizes explained.
- Spring bars: 20mm long. We haven't confirmed the diameter for this model, so measure the old bar before buying replacements (spring bar sizes).
- Wrist fit: at 48mm lug-to-lug it should sit within the top of wrists from about 16.0cm up (rule of thumb: lug-to-lug under ~30% of wrist size). That's longer than 62% of the watches in our index. See what size watch suits your wrist.
- Strap thickness: at 13mm thick it's a chunky case: thicker padded leather, rubber/FKM or a heavier NATO balance it visually; very thin straps can look undersized.

Timex Marlin Automatic 40 — strap questions
What size strap does the Marlin Automatic 40 take?
The Timex Marlin Automatic 40 has a 20mm lug width, so you need a 20mm watch strap.
Will any 20mm strap fit the Marlin Automatic 40?
Most will. Width is the main thing to match, but also check that the strap's spring-bar holes suit the bars, and that the strap is thin enough to clear the case between the lugs. A metal bracelet needs 20mm end-links made for this model.
What spring bar size does the Marlin Automatic 40 use?
20mm long. We haven't confirmed the diameter for the Marlin Automatic 40, so measure the original bar with calipers before buying replacements.
Is the Marlin Automatic 40 good for strap swapping?
Yes. With standard 20mm spring-bar lugs, NATO, leather, rubber and mesh straps can all be fitted with a spring-bar tool.
