Plastic hose clamp sizes.

I am looking at buying some new plastic hose clamps and see the two little fishies design.

My issue is I'm overthinking the situation. My hose has an outside diameter of 7/8. Should I get 1 inch clamps or 3/4 clamps.

Not sure what the actual size is. If 1 inch is the smallest the clamps go or if that's the largest size they go to

I can't say for sure with the TLF clamps, but IME, those plastic hose clamps are actually metric, so the sizes are approximate and don't totally correspond. I would get the 3/4" clamps, but if you're mail ordering, get some of each.
