Gather a small screwdriver or link removal tool, a pin pusher, a soft cloth, and a tray for small parts
Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth
Locate the arrows or pins on the inside of the band links
Identify which links need to be removed from both sides of the clasp for balance
Use the tool to push the pin out in the direction of the arrows
Remove the pin completely from the link
Take out the desired number of links
Reconnect the band by aligning the remaining links
Insert the pin back into the hole opposite the arrow direction
Press the pin in until it is flush and secure
Check that the band closes properly and fits comfortably
Repeat if more links need to be removed
