 It works! October 22, 2009

There is another "Invicta Watch Sizing Tool" on Amazon with many more reviews. The main point from half of those reviews is that it is easy to break this tool. The only difference I see from that tool and this one is that this one is yellow.
There are no instructions included with this product. With a little research online, in 5 minutes I removed 2 links from my new watch and I am wearing the watch right now. I am going to give you the valuable piece of information that I found online.
When you look at the pins in the links of the watch's bracelet, on one side there appears to be a split in the pin, as if you were going to use a small screwdriver on it. The other end of the pin is solid. This is the key to not bending or breaking the pin on this tool.
Line the tool's pin up with the solid end of the pin in the bracelet, making sure it is in the hole, and slowly turn the knob on the tool. It will push it out enough so you can grab the pin with tweezers of pliers and finish pulling it out.
When you remove the links and put the watch's bracelet back together, you can by hand push the pins back into the links. They will not go all the way in, so you can use this tool to push it all the way in.

Doesn't it annoy you to have a new watch, but not to be able to wear it right away because it doesn't fit? You have to wait until you can get to the mall or jewelers, and then pay to have the thing sized to your wrist. Then you don't want to niggle about the fit because they always act like you're taking too much of their time with your piddly watch band.
Say goodbye to those days. The Watch Sizing tool is the answer to your frustration. Just identify the links that need to be removed (try to remove the same number from each side of the watch band, usually marked with an arrow if removable). Use the removable piece to punch out the clasp pin and put the clasp and pin aside. Then lay the band into the Sizing tool. The little screw on the main body raises and lowers the base so that you can align the turning mechanism that pushes out the link pins. Get your alignment correct here ... take the extra moment to make sure you are well aligned. Then screw the large handle slowle until the pin pops out a little. From there remove the watch from the device and use a tweezer to remove the pin fully. Repeat for additional links, then replace the clasp mechanism and fine tune the fit with the pins in the clasp mechanism.
The device is simple: just 2 controls that I described above. The yellow body is high impact plastic, and the actual pin pusher is stainless steel, as well as the elevator screw.
Mine came free with my watch, but it is easily worth the minor cost, and will pay for itself the first time you use it. I am not a very mechanical person, and I was able to adjust my and my friend's watch bands (hers was a different make of watch) within 10 minutes, being very careful. With some practice, it can be done in less than 5 minutes.
Excellent tool January 9, 2010

Must-have for a watch collector. Pushes the hinge pins out so you can add or remove watch band links. Has a slot to hold the band vertically, so you can re-insert the pins to put the band back together. That knurled metal knob on the side allows adjustment of the tool bed, to allow for different band thicknesses.
Only problem: There were no instructions, so I had to learn all the above from trial-and-error and Google-searching. Didn't damage anything, so it's OK, but I definitely recommend practice on an old watch before adjusting your "good" stuff.
Hey, Amazon: what about a little "how-to" on your watch page for this and similar tools?
Very useful and cheap product December 8, 2009

I found this product to be very useful and I have resized several watchbands with it without problems. There are several sizes of the pinpush-tool included in the packet so you can use it on all brands that use this kind of pins.
Its plastic so don't try to use it as a professional tool, but its perfect for home use.
What a great help! January 7, 2010

I bought this since we own 5 Invicta watches and plan to buy even more. It was easy enough to use. I'm not a mechanical person, but I used it without any problems whatsoever. Other negative comments reference it being cheapy plastic...but, uh, I spent a whopping $5.99 for it and feel that I got more value than what I paid. If I took our watches to a jeweler/watch repair place, I would've paid upwards of $10 +tax per watch for the service. So, I'd have to say take a chance and buy it. There are more positive comments than negative ones, and you can't beat the price.
