I bought a watch but the band is too large. How do I adjust it to fit my wrist?Updated 8 hours ago

All our wooden/metal strap watches and straps come with removable links making them fully adjustable to fit all wrist sizes. 

 

We highly recommend using our watch link removal tool or taking the watch to a local jewelry/watch store. It's fairly cheap and sometimes they even do it for free since it's such a quick job.

 

If you'd like to do it yourself, it’s fairly easy to do. When the watch is facing you upright in the normal position, the links on the bottom half of the strap are removed from left to right. The links on the top half of the strap are removed from right to left. The reason why you can’t push them out in any direction is because there are grooves on one side of the pins to ensure they stay in place and so if you push it out from the wrong side, we risk damaging the links.

 

You can use the watch link removal tool to push out the metal bar that connects the links. Once the link is removed, reconnect the strap with one of the metal bars you removed. 

Again, we do suggest using our specially designed tool or taking it to a professional to protect the integrity of the wood and watch, and we wouldn't want it to get damaged in the process! Incorrect removal of links voids the warranty.
