Every watch brand needs to do what Farer is doing
I recently noticed that Farer not only includes lug-to-lug measurements on their website but pin-to-pin measurements as well—an even more accurate measurement than lug-to-lug in terms of determining how a watch will fit. This measurement is the distance between the spring bars themselves. I have never seen another brand do this. Even though doing these things takes very little effort from brands, it helps Farer stand out among the rest considering they're the only brand doing it. I hope this becomes the standard.

It is certainly more geared toward how a strap will fit. Essentially what it does is provide a more meaningful measurement than lug-to-lug. In other words, for a watch on a strap, the lug-to-lug might be longer than you’d typically like, but how far apart the spring bars are actually determines where the strap will begin to wrap around the wrist.
Farer does a lot of things well.
Yema publish the full schematics of their watches, which makes it easier to visualize.
Agreed on the end link-to-end link measurement. Some bracelets have protruding end links, and on others, the end links articulate downward prior to reaching the end of the lugs. In either case, lug-to-lug isn't sufficient. And good idea on the bracelet clasp measurement.
