This video was wonderful! I am not mechanically inclined and struggle with this kind of stuff, but was able to take the links out easily to make the band fit perfectly, on the first try and without frustration or a struggle. I measured my wrist and added a little leeway, and it worked on my first try. Thank you!
I almost let these comments stop me from buying this watch band, but it honestly was the easiest thing to do and I even had to add back one link because I made it too tight. Don’t let this deter you if you want this band! Just follow the arrows on the band so that the pin comes out that way, and you’ll be golden!
Great tutorial! My band is a different brand from amazon but works the same. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet but still enough info to include necessary tips!
My watch and fell off because the pin came out of the connection link to the watch. Are the extra pins long enough to replace that pin? How do I do it since it doesn’t fit in the mechanism to replace the normal pins?
I couldn’t remove the pin -after it was almost out. Both times it got stuck. As such the pin going back in was a little crooked and now half is in, half is out. Any suggestions for how to remove the crooked pin and reattach two two parts properly?
I bought a universal Apple Watch kit. The band comes with the smaller 38/40/41 mm latch and I need to change it to the larger 42/44/45 mm latch. How do I do that?
Doing this is actually the most intuitive and easiest thing in the world, but I came here with a question: is it true that this kind of pins (mostly used in metal watch bands) have a tendency to rapidly get loose and fall off with obvious consequences?
I’m not sure about how quickly these pins get loose & fall off, but I’ve had this band for about 2yrs and the pins never got loose. I broke my band by getting my hand stuck between some plastic bins and pulled it apart. I love this band so much, I purchased another one. I’m pretty active and have taken this watch in the ocean multiple times & never experienced this band breaking. I actually want to get a bunch of them in different style/colors for back up. They’re pretty durable. Hope this helps
If this woman’s voice wasn’t so calming I would have given up. Pin wouldn’t line up correctly to screw back in - lots of finagling to get it to work. Super frustrating.
This was not easy for me and after an hour of trying to remove a link I got one pin out but can’t get any more. I tried to return this watch band but once you remove one link, they will not accept returns. I do not recommend anyone buys this if you do not want to deal with this issue. First and last time buying anything from Machete.
The tool that came with my metal band from Amazon broke well it’s plastic and bent thank god I was able to use it still somehow by hand to remove the pins but stabbed my finger in the process

Hours of my life I want back. What you fail to cover is what to do when you push the pin out the wrong direction. I've lot parts everywhere and I want to gas the whole thing. So frustrated.

Great video, usually I would get my hubby to fix stuff like this and I can say I did it myself. thanks
Thank you much for taking time to record this video. Made the process so much easier 🙏🏽
Works like a charm - just make sure to follow the arrows - you want the pin to come out on the arrow side NOT the opposite!

This! It was much easier than expected.
Easy peasy- tool is great, instructions were very clear and best of all I LOVE my new watchband!
You made it really easy for me to follow along and adjust my band
So helpful! Thank you so much - removing two links gave me a perfect fit on my new band!
I was so intimidated with the enclosed instructions. Your video was so simple. I was able to remove a link with no problem. Thanks!
The arrow tip was EXCELLENT! Thanks🌻
Great tutorial! My band is a different brand from amazon but works the same. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet but still enough info to include necessary tips!

What do I do if I’m in between sizes? It’s either too loose or too tight??
My watch band didn’t come with a sizing tool! What should I do?
My watch and fell off because the pin came out of the connection link to the watch. Are the extra pins long enough to replace that pin? How do I do it since it doesn’t fit in the mechanism to replace the normal pins?
I just tried to remove my links. I removed one and then the device came out of the black base and it will not go back in now. What do you suggest?
Thanks

I did not see the part of the video about not going to far up and accidentally pushed out ones without arrows is there a way to fix it
What do you do when you can’t line up the pin and you think you screwed the pin the wrong way😢
I bought a universal Apple Watch kit. The band comes with the smaller 38/40/41 mm latch and I need to change it to the larger 42/44/45 mm latch. How do I do that?
The pin head keeps splitting open and will not go back in. Any suggestions?
I started undoing links without watching this video. How do you push the pin back in if you don’t want to remove that link?
How to change the end caps?
The pin came out from the end links, what do I do!?

I have holes all over the watch now as it doesn’t correctly line up to the pin hole
Her voice is literally the WORST!
Same here! Sheesh

I am not having any luck at all ..pin is not poking out at all.
This is impossible.
how much length does each link add/subtract?
About .4 inches!
Hi! Any tips for how to handle being between links? I tried removing 1 more but can’t snap shut, but the band is a little too loose as is.
I have the same question
I have the same problem. Can you help?
