How to Adjust Straps

Adjusting Your Watch Bracelet

Mesh Strap Adjustment Guide

  1. Prepare Your Tool
    Use a small flat tool such as a spring bar tool, small screwdriver, or anything similar.

  2. Locate the Clasp and Arrow
    Turn the watch over. On the inner side of the clasp, you will find a small arrow engraved on the clasp cover.
    This arrow shows the direction in which the clasp lock should be lifted.

  3. Lift the Clasp Lock
    Insert your tool into the small rectangular slot just below the arrow.
    Lift gently in the direction of the arrow until the clasp plate opens.
    This releases the hold on the mesh strap.

  4. Slide the Clasp
    With the clasp open, slide it along the mesh strap to adjust the length.
    Move the clasp toward the watch to make the strap tighter or away from the watch to make it looser.

  5. Align with a Groove
    On the mesh strap, you will see small horizontal grooves.
    Make sure the clasp locking plate sits exactly on one of these grooves before closing it.

  6. Lock the Clasp
    Press the clasp plate back down firmly until it clicks into place.
    Ensure it lies flat and does not move along the strap.

  7. Close the Outer Clasp
    Fold the outer clasp cover back over and snap it shut.
    The strap is now adjusted and ready to wear.

Important Tips

  • Always lift the clasp in the direction of the arrow.

  • Do not use too much force; it should open smoothly.

  • After adjusting, gently pull on the strap to make sure it is secure.


Metal Bracelet with Removable Links

Tools You Will Need

  • Link removal tool or small pin pusher

  • Soft cloth or pad to protect your watch

  • Small hammer (optional)


  1. Check the Fit
    Put the watch on your wrist and pinch the bracelet until it feels comfortable.
    Count how many links need to be removed.
    Always remove the same number of links from both sides of the clasp to keep it centered.

  2. Find the Direction Arrows
    On the inside of the bracelet, you will see small arrows engraved on some links.
    These arrows show the direction in which the pins should be pushed out.
    Always follow the arrow when removing and go against it when reinserting.

  3. Removing a Link
    Place the bracelet in the link removal tool with the arrow pointing away from the pusher.
    Align the tool’s pin with the hole and slowly turn the handle or tap gently until the pin starts to move out.
    Pull the pin out completely and keep it aside.
    Repeat for the second pin to remove the link.

    Do not use excessive force. If the pin feels tight, check the direction and alignment again.

  4. Re-Attaching the Bracelet
    Line up the bracelet ends where you want to reconnect them.
    Insert the pin in the opposite direction of the arrow — the flat end goes in first and the split side enters last.
    Push the pin gently with your fingers until it stops.
    Use the tool or a small hammer to push it in until it is flush with the bracelet.
    Make sure the split end sits on the inner side of the bracelet where it locks securely.

  5. Final Fit and Fine Adjustment
    Try the watch on again.
    If it is still slightly loose or tight, use the micro-adjustment holes on the clasp.
    Move the spring bar to another hole to make small size changes (about 3–5 mm per hole).
    Check that all pins are even and firmly in place before wearing.

  6. Important Notes

    • Work on a flat, padded surface to avoid scratches.

    • Keep the removed links and pins in a safe place for future use.

    • Never hammer or push at an angle; keep the pin straight.

    • Ensure each pin is fully flush with the bracelet and not sticking out.
