Thank you soooo much for this video! Took me about 10 minutes and now my watch fits so much better! I used tiny little screwdrivers instead of a pushpin, and it worked just as easily. Thanks again!

This has got to be the most helpful video EVER! I'm super skinny and every damn watch is so huge on my wrist, thanks for this, really made my day :D

On most watch bands there are arrows located on the inside of the band indicating in which direction the pin is to be removed. When reassembling replace the pin in the opposite direction of the arrow with the "split" portion of the pin going in last as this video shows . Also if a link does not have an arrow then that pin and link is to be considered non-adjustable.

Looked through some other vids, this guy had the best idea yet, especially with lack of tools and with stubborn pins being stuck. Thanks a million.

My stainless steel wristband came with the second method tool. Thanks to your how-to video, this process was a breeze. My watch now fits perfectly. Thank you for going out of your way to make this video and share it. I really appreciate it.

That thumbtack was exactly what I needed. I have a repair kit with all the tools, but it was impossible to get the pins out of this one particular watch. Worked like a charm!

Worked like a champ! I would try not to squeeze more than you have to with the pliers, so that you don't flatten the wider part of the pin that keeps it in the hole. One way is to look closely at the pin and put the pliers on the areas where you see the split, that way it won't flatten the keeper. I watched your video before trying it on my own and it helped to see what to do first. Thanks for posting,

Thanks a bunch! I was frustrated with other recommendations of a paperclip, watch tools (most people don't even have one!), etc. Then I resized two watches in 10 minutes. You're the best!

Omg this made it so easy. I just got my new metal strap for my fitbit Versa 2 and I love it it was just too big and I was a little upset until I found this video. Thank you so very much!!! Saved me from giving up on wearing it. I love the look and I love the fit. Thank you for showing how to make it fit better. This is my top video to watch when I need to adjust my watch. Thank you so much again!!!

This was perfect! I watched one other video first and didn't feel like I learned what I wanted. Saw your video and it was like you were speaking directly to my brain. I understood and grasped the concept immediately! I didn't even need to finish watching the whole thing. As a matter of fact, by the time the video had finished playing, I had already taken the link out and put it back together! Finally!!! My watch fits correctly! Thank you, thank you, thank you! (The reason I hadn't taken it in to some place was due to my getting the watch just as the USA was going in to Coronatine aka quarantine for COVID19)

Thank you so much for your info. I did along side you and now I can use my watch which has been sitting around for more than a year. You're a life saver. 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Saved me a ton of time and $20.00 at the mall. A friend gave me a watch for my birthday. I put it off for a while to modify the band. I used your method but couldn't find a hammer so I used a small crowbar. It was hard at first. But I used another person's suggestion with two books to create that gap. Worked like a charm.

This video is a blessing to all humans who wear watches.

Your video is such a great inspiration. I've just finished adjusting my watch for the first time and I'm so proud of myself.

i don't write reviews but i wanted to express thanks for this demonstration. i watched other videos about the same procedure and found them long,discouraging and complicated. your method was super easy bc i had all the tools already available. you can even substitute an item, if you have any imagination at all i am now able to wear my favorite watch and i am grateful for the money i saved for not having to go to the jeweler. in a nut shell,clear and precise explanation!

Almost returned the watch - THIS WORKS ! Thank you for making this tutorial.

thank you so much this helped! i didn't have wood like that but if you use anything like a dresser or a desk that splits and has to flat surfaces between the crack it worked for me!

Good vid. The great thing about it is that Nils makes a point that the split side of the pin goes in last. Very important piece of instruction missing from some other vids I watched prior to finding this one. Thanks, Nils. I used an opened paper clip instead of the push pin and did it on a wooden counter. Did this on my $400 Victorinox, but would def not do this on a 3K TG as someone asked here. Not everyone is handy, so why risk finding out that you're not. I put a piece of paper towel between hammer and pin when I hammered the pin back in to prevent scuffing. Then I used the paper clip to countersink the pin just a tad so it won't work its way back out after wearing the watch for a while. I think that blue tool, while it doesn't look all that convenient, is great when you want to make sure you don't scuff up your watch band with a missed hammer blow.

Thank you so much for the help. I was able to re-size my fossil watch with household items (tiny flathead screwdriver, my desk - which has small holes in it- a small hammer, and pliers)! Much appreciated.

I got the little contraption from Amazon and adjusted my Stauer watch that has been sitting around my drawer for about six or eight months it finally fits great and looks great thank you so much!!!

I injured my thumb doing this 😭

The name of the watch at the end is I By Invicta Men's 43619-002 Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch. It's available at Amazon for $71 and it's been a great watch. I'm wearing it right now.

thought of taking my 2 watches in a repair shop but bumped here.Great video it helped and save me some bucks!Thank you!

when I saw this vid, I quickly clicked it and looked for the home tools. worked like a charm. Thanks

Yous said any hammer would be sufficient. So I took your advice and now every watch I own is smashed into oblivion!! I couldn't find my sledgehammer, so I obviously had to use my jackhammer instead. now I have 23 totally destroyed, non-repairable, watches!! Well clearly this is your fault completely! How could someone do such a thing!? Huh??

Thank you for this video! You're awesome! You saved me from spending 15 euro for each piece I wanted to removed at a watch store. I just did that to my watch and it's perfect now. Thank you again!!!

Wow thank you to show us this method!! I've just adjusted my watch and it looks great! No damage at all! But instead of the screwdriver, I've used a thumb tack and that works just as well. :)

I managed to use a SIM card popper to push my pins out. Slid out and in like butter. Tap from the back of a screwdriver and bam. Link removed and new watch is finally fitting

I found this very helpful. I learned exactly what to do from this video. I am not sure why I feel I must apologize for the people making negative comments about the video. They are more to be pitied than censured.

Hello! Thanks so much for the video - super helpful and I was able to resize my new watch in 5 minutes. I used a styrofoam block and it caught the pins perfectly. Thank you!!!

Great vid. Helped me out a lot.

No, actually it's pretty nice. I'm no watch connoisseur but I've been wearing that Invicta watch for over a year and it's held up really well except for the chronograph, which stopped working. Maybe it just needs a new battery.

Thanks guy, just watched your video and took a couple notches off my watch and it fits perfectly! I did this without the wood and just had my husband hold the sides while I hammered lol made a couple tiny dents in the table but overall worked well. Thanks again!

I just adjusted the band on my brand new Invicta watch. Thank you for posting this video.

Thank you Nils, for giving me the courage to take a hammer to a new watch. :) If you file the point of the pushpin (wasn't he a Russian writer?) flat it's a little easier. And Bluebird Toffee Hammers are perfect for this.

This video was so helpful, thank you! I didn’t really have these tools so I used a spoon as hammer and the pin for opening my sim tray, it’s a perfect fit and it pushes the pin from the bracelet all the way through. Didn’t need pliers. Took me 5 mins

There should be holes on both sides of the link.....if you can't get the pin out by using one hole, use the hole in the other side of the link. These pins are not just a smooth piece of metal.....one end has a bit of a flare to it, so when linking back up be sure the flared end goes into hole first. This takes patience, but it's worth the effort....what's worse than a watch that flops around on your wrist!
