How do I remove links from a watch band?

Answer by  Sett (1838)

The links from the watch band usually have tiny screws on the side of the links if you turn the watch on its side. The links are usually removed with a tiny screw driver that you can usually get inside an eye glass repair kit.

Use something and push from the marked side to remove the pin and link. The push it back in the same side.

Most watches have small pins on the sides of the links. When pressed in, these pins release the links, making them removable. After you pull the pin out, all you have to do is remove the link.

The technique to remove links from a watch band varies only slightly from brand to brand. This is best begun with the watch off. There should be a series of pins along the side of the links which have a spring connection. This is the key

Use tweezers or pliers to loosen the links (they should pop up from each other) then remove the links you wish to shorten the band. Then reconnect the remaining links.
