- I have a large wrist. Are additional links available?
- Hi Charles! Unfortunately, we do not sell extra links for our watches. If the bracelet doesn’t fit comfortably, we recommend visiting a local jeweler who may be able to assist you with adding compatible links or resizing options.
- how can i size the band ? Do you have a video online that I can see?
- Hi Mike! Thank you for your question! For adjusting the watch, you can remove links by following these instructions or by watching our Timex tutorial video here: [ https://youtu.be/Hr4XfTeLybI?si=GybZV9328A-fYlZZ ]. If you’d prefer assistance, a jeweler can help adjust the band for you. Here’s a quick guide to adjust your Perfect Fit™ expansion band: 1. Place the watch on your wrist and estimate how many links need removal. 2. Locate the links in the center of the bracelet with the textured area. 3. Squeeze the textured part of the link opposite the one you want to remove. 4. While pressing down, pull the band apart to remove the link. 5. Repeat as needed for additional links. 6. Once done, press down on the textured part and insert the opposite end to reconnect the band. Your Perfect Fit™ expansion band should now be adjusted comfortably.
