Watch Sizing Tool

I got a new watch (not an Invicta, by the way) and with my thin wrists I knew I would have to remove some links. I didn't want to take the time to take it somewhere to get if fitted and figured, how hard could it be? Well, after 30 minutes with a hammer, jeweler screwdrivers and paper clip pieces I had removed one link! I read the reviews for this and although there were some less than enthusiastic reviews took a small chance (it really isn't that expensive!)and ordered it. In less than 5 minutes, I had removed links from both sides, put the newly sized watch on, realized I needed to put a link back, did it and I am done. What a pleasure after trying this without the right tool. Like the reviews say, watch for the arrow on the link, take your time and get the positioning right and don't rush and you will be fine. Also, it does seem pretty cheap and flimsy, but it get's the job done. I just used that for another reason to work slow and deliberately.

If I could give it a minus 1 star, I would. Don't waste your time. Here is just a few of the things that went wrong 1- it came in a poorly made paper box that wasn't sealed, 2- no packaging in the box so the too just rattled around in this shipping box that as 10 times larger than the tool 3- no instructions. Sure you search online and you find several how to videos as other reviews state. Moot point, I shouldn't have to. Plus, all these videos fail to mention which side to push the watch pin. I found out the hard way that the pins are tapered 4- the pin pusher was not firmly affixed to the turning mechanism making alignment difficult 5- broke 2 pins on initial use and only succeeded in removing 1 side of the link of Men's Invicta watch. Not worth the time, effort or cost to send it back for refund. Spend the $15 at any watch kiosk in the mall and get your watch sized.

Doesn't it annoy you to have a new watch, but not to be able to wear it right away because it doesn't fit? You have to wait until you can get to the mall or jewelers, and then pay to have the thing sized to your wrist. Then you don't want to niggle about the fit because they always act like you're taking too much of their time with your piddly watch band. Say goodbye to those days. The Watch Sizing tool is the answer to your frustration. Just identify the links that need to be removed (try to remove the same number from each side of the watch band, usually marked with an arrow if removable). Use the removable piece to punch out the clasp pin and put the clasp and pin aside. Then lay the band into the Sizing tool. The little screw on the main body raises and lowers the base so that you can align the turning mechanism that pushes out the link pins. Get your alignment correct here ... take the extra moment to make sure you are well aligned. Then screw the large handle slowle until the pin pops out a little. From there remove the watch from the device and use a tweezer to remove the pin fully. Repeat for additional links, then replace the clasp mechanism and fine tune the fit with the pins in the clasp mechanism. The device is simple: just 2 controls that I described above. The yellow body is high impact plastic, and the actual pin pusher is stainless steel, as well as the elevator screw. Mine came free with my watch, but it is easily worth the minor cost, and will pay for itself the first time you use it. I am not a very mechanical person, and I was able to adjust my and my friend's watch bands (hers was a different make of watch) within 10 minutes, being very careful. With some practice, it can be done in less than 5 minutes.

Good item if you don't want to go to jewelry place to resize your watch band. It's kind of flumzzy but workable. Wide bracelets won't fit in track such of invictas venom or subaquas but you can remove pin tool alone and do it manually. Just resized 3 watches and tool paid for it self already comparing jewelry store charging $10 a piece.

Horrifically poor quality. After getting one pin out, we started on the next... It broke on the second pin. The materials were not strong enough to withstand the small force needed to push the link pins through.

I gave this tool only three stars because I ordered it one day after receiving my Invicta Men's 15491 Subaqua Analog Display Swiss Made Automatic Silver Watch. This watch needed to be sized down. There is no indication by anyone that this tool will not work on my new watch. It does not. The watch band on the Invicta Men's 15491 Subaqua Analog Display Swiss Made Automatic Silver Watch is too wide to be used in this tool. I own other Invicta watches that this tool will work on the bands. I have other brands of watches that this tool will work on. It will not work on the watch I bought it specifically for. Amazon, Invicta and the sellers of these tools should run a disclaimer on this tool as to not fitting watch bands above a certain width. Other than that, the tool does perform as described. do some research or watch a YouTube video on how to use this tool and you will not have some of the difficulties that others have described.

This is great for sizing your watch band and not have to scratch the watch. Glad I bought it.

Tried to remove links from my wife's TAG. The pin bent and broke off midway through the process. The tool is very cheap and I recommend saving your money and paying a jeweller to remove links for you.

Muy mala calidad , se ve separada cada pieza , y tiene rebabas en todas partes , malísima calidad , fue un error comprarlo, está mejor la calidad de la envoltura .

I am sure it worked well but never had to use it. Give it as a gift with the watch.
