How to Remove Links on your Apple Watch Band

So you've purchased your shiny new band to give your Apple Watch a stylish yet more formal look for your daily work wear. The band arrives and you are eager to put it on and impress your colleagues - yes the Apple Watch can look great in formal occasions!

However... it doesn't fit... it's just too big :(

Not to worry! Here is a guide to save you from the disdain of an oversized watch band and have you fully prepared to put that new stainless steel apple watch band on ASAP. 

How to Remove Links from a Apple Watch Band

Turn the watch onto its side and identify how many links you want to remove for the most appropriate fit. Don't worry if you don't get this right the first time, it is surprisingly easy to add/remove to adjust the length.

Once you have identified how many links you need to remove, push the thin metal rod out from the side of the link, it should look like this. You can use any thin item to do this such as a simcard removal tool or a needle.

Alternatively we recommend using a watch link remover tool similar to that pictured below. We have one available for purchase

Once complete, reinsert the pin to re-join the bracelet!
