How to Add U-Clip Style Expansion Band Links

Watches can be damaged without proper handling and while the repair you are about to attempt may seem simple, you can easily break or ruin the watch with any small mistake. If you have any doubts about this repair, do not hesitate to take your watch to a professional watchmaker or jeweler.

It's too hard. I'm giving up.

If you are here because you bought the Speidel Twist-O-Flex for your Apple Watch and need to adjust it...these instructions are overly complicated. The Speidel band has an extra faceplate on the top side links. It can be removed which means you do not have to bend out tabs on both sides, and only have to insert one U clip. Vastly simplifies the process. I usually swear by youtube, but in this case I should have read the directions (PDF) that came in the box.

Great step by step instructions.
It's pretty satisfying to do these things for yourself.
Not to mention that this saved me money and a trip to the jeweler.

I have no idea who could actually do these things full time 8 hours a day. I'd quickly end up in the nut bowl

Great video! Taking the clips out wont be any troubles, but putting all the clip back is really cumbersome and It took me more than 30 minutes to complete it... Whenever one of the foot of the clip getting in, the other end will keep popping out from the rack. Surely, you can do it but need a lot of dedication & patient

Great video. My stretch band was way too small, only 6" so I bought an identical band and was able to remove 4 links from it and added them to my existing band. Yes, getting those pins in was tricky and took time and patience, but all worked out and looks great. Thanks!

I tried this and all I did was ruin my watch band 😁. Got the links apart I needed to make mine smaller but for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get it back together again so now it resides in the trash bin. It's off to the store to purchase a new band.

Thank you. It's so difficult to find a video how to shorten this kind of bracelet

This video is 11 minutes, if I attempt doing this it’ll probably take me the whole day😂😂

[leonardfedillaga]

Watching it over and over again, then you will understand and confidently knows how..its time for you to do it. You must have extra band just incase you ruin it😅😅

Where can I purchase extra links for my Timex analog Indiglo watch with stainless steel, flexible watch band that seems to have these type o f U-links?

This style band is extremely difficult to work with. Thanks for the video, its well explained.
