Easy Instructions For Changing Your Watchband

change watchband
  1. Place your watch on a soft but firm surface, if you have it, use a bracelet holder.
  2. Use either the standard or mini size spring bar tool, whichever works for your watch (small screwdrivers will work too as well as fingernails but the job gets harder that way).
  3. Insert the forked end between the band and the case lug, you are trying to catch the shoulder of the spring bar with the tool.
  4. Once you have it, push down towards the band and away from the lug, until the band comes away from the case. Do this carefully so you don’t scratch anything or loose your spring bar, that bar is hard to find if you loose it due to its size.
  5. Once you have that section removed, move to the other side and repeat the process.
  6. Now you’re ready for your new band. Insert the spring bar into the ‘case end’ of your new band, then insert one end of the spring bar into the pin hole of the lug. Using your spring bar tool or whatever it was you used to take it off, and compress the bar so you can insert the other end into the other case lug.
  7. Do the same on the other side and you will have installed your new watch band. If your watch band is metal, make sure you include the end pieces.
