I don't usually make comments on videos, but this one was a God-send. I was so frustrated trying to remove links to adjust my band. Your video demonstrated it perfectly. Thank you!

Brilliant video. I'd bought a tool [without the height adjuster 😥] and a third party apple watch strap. No instructions came with them and I've never tried this before . But with your help I didn't need them. It was very clear and spot on. Thank you - it's made a difference to my day 😃

Ordered a watch band off Amazon which came with NO instructions. This video was easy to follow and very clear. Thank you!

4:05 My strap had a resizing tool included with it though no instructions. This video was perfect and made taking a link out so easy. Brilliant!

Hey mate, thanks for making this the easiest part. I'm bad at clipping straps on and off the watch, and i needed some trial and error to find my best fit. But adding and removing the links was an absolute walk in the park thanks to your video. Cheers.

Thank you so much!! Clear and easy to follow instructions - I didn’t have a clue what I was doing with the tool supplied with the strap and after trying and failing to figure it out myself, resorted to youtube. Your video saved the day 😊

[mattderrick]

This video was awesome. Didn’t over talk just simple and easy. Cheers mate.

So so useful! Instructions super easy to follow, especially as my watch didn't have the arrows to tell you wish direction to push the thingy out from. I'm going to save so much money from this 😂 thank you so much for sharing!!

[psychyourmind]

I had no idea what I was doing. This video walked me through step by step. Thanks!

[fallenember]

Thank you, this saved me over $130 that the jewelry store was gonna charge me. Bought the tool online for less than $5

My hero 😂

The raggedy instructions I received had three vague pictures with one sentence under each. I came straight to YT and found this video lol thank you so much! Short, detailed video that stopped me from sending the watch strap back lol

Thank you! This was so easy to follow and I did need the height adjuster for my new watch. You made adjusting the size of my watch relatively painless!😊

[jeanettefitzgerald]

Thank you so much. A very easy and detailed tutorial. Watching your step by step instructions helped me adjust my watch band with no problems at all.

Mine didn't come with any instructions. I gave it a shot and gave up. Found this video and got it done. Excellent explanation and deails. Thank you!

[jyotikumar]

Glad I found this video! I had no clue what to do and contemplated going to a watch shop (and being charged). Saw your video and managed to do it at home! Thank you.
