Phew. Thank you. Just bought me a retro Casio, almost identical to the one I had in the late 70s. This video was a great help. Got my very loose watch band fitting in less than 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for this, dude! First time ever messing around with watches. Just got mine today, and soon realized my wrist is way too thin and the watch was sooo loose. Saw this video, and it made things way easier. I didn't have tools, tho, so I had to manage myself with a tiny thin screw (yeah, an actual screw), a pair of pliers and a pocket knife. You're great!
For some reason one of my links is completely stuck, and I'm having no luck removing it. I tested the other links and they are all fine. Idk what to do
As far as I know the bracelet is not sold separately. You'd probably have to buy the whole entire watch again. I'd recommend checking Amazon, as sometimes this watch can go for as low as $19.
Really well done. I had to click through from google though to thumbs up this. Not cool. Creators go to the trouble of making these videos and google serves it up directly through search....not giving credit or official youtube views. thanks for the work.
Great directions. I was eventually able to adjust my bracelet. My links were super tight and this was a doable but very difficult adjustment. In the end I needed three links removed. I unfortunately damaged one link in the process and the remaining two I removed have the pins jammed in them. Looks like I will never be able to adjust it again. Took me about an hour. But overall very satisfied with the result. Thank you!
Just destroyed my second one I don’t understand why that last link to the far right in your video won’t budge out for me both watches would not budge one bit just going to order another one if I can get any suggestions I would appreciate it thank you
Good video, thanks, but my links fought a lot harder than yours so I would suggest wrapping something around the watch glass to make sure it doesn’t get scratched.
the piece at the very ends of the straps are not coming out like the rest are, it seems like its stuck there but it shjouldnt be, in the video they come out just fine but mine isnt coming out that easily like the rest, why is that
I have just purchased my casio ae1200 and its bracelet was too loose. so I could adjust easily just with a mini screwdriver thanks to this great video. thank you very much
First time I ever took out links on one of my Casio watches. This video made it VERY easy. It made me laugh when he said "you'll hear a click" and when I did the same procedure I heard the click exactly like it was in the video. Thank you for making this easy.
I did link removal for the first time today and I heavily recommend getting some fine mineral oil should one of the inserts be rough to pull out. I used sewing machine oil
Hi wNc, I am a UK viewer of this video, which I found to be extremely useful. I have just bought this watch, and thought that it may need a visit to my local Jeweller to do. However, this video has given me the confidence to try this myself. So, many thanks for that. Terry davis
What everyone fails to mention, is that the central links come out like butter, but the two end links, on both sides of the bracelet, do NOT come out at all! They come out so far and then it's simply impossible to remove them all the way. Well, done Casio, what an utterly shit design.
Same issue. Gentle pressure and butter for the central links, but the end ones i've broken two screwdrivers and marred up the bracelet pretty bad in anger. Pliers won't grip the tiny bit they protrude. And i NEED to get those end ones open, not even to remove the end link, but just to gain access to the second-to-last link for removal! I would be happy if I could just get ONE of these ends off, I don't even care which one, but NEITHER of them will come out, it's frustratingly funny
Glad im not alone, i just destroyed my end link, used a vicegrip to hold on it so i could pull or hammer it... Dont ask me if i managed... Just dont but i also knowine you @Megabeagle34 that i WILL eventually open it up and pull it out PS did you manage to get it out? 😂
Many thanks. I've had some other brands of bracelet watch bands and they were not as well made or designed as this Casio band. I just got a new Casio that needs the band adjusted so this really helps. 👍👍 Now if Twist-O-Flex were as easy to shorten.
Monday 3, 2023! Yay! Got my new casio watch and tried adjusting and removing links, resizing for the first time, first try and I'm so proud of myself. 🤭 Thanks for this video 😉
Im not sure. But that has definitely happened to me before too I would just by a spring bar kit from Amazon. They come with multiple sizes in the kit. Plus, i dont think spring bars are sold individually. 👍
Makes the process of adjusting one of the worst bracelets I've ever had on my wrist so much easier, I could actually follow what was happening. Thank you for uploading this, may it stay on TH-cam forever.
I don't see how the F everyone is pulling out the end link so easily - mine is absolutely wedged in there, even with the ball-dent showing - nothing will get it out. This is the second exact watch, couldn't do it on the first, can't do it on the second. Impossible.
This works like a charm, I've never adjusted my watch before but this video really helps. Its easy a simple to follow. I used a small pin and it worked out fine. Thank you very much, It is very much appreciated!
Great tutorial. I've done this before, but I wanted to watch it anyway to see if you had any problem getting those retainers to pop out, because I have. I've pried and pried on those things so hard that I've deformed the screwdriver blade. Even once they're out and the band adjusted, they're been difficult to get back in and difficult to remove again in the future. I've purchased a few of the SKMEI cheapest equivalent to this I could find, the 1335, just so I could have the correctly shaped black metal bracelet for my black AE1200s, and their retainers have what I would consider to be a normal amount of resistance to remove those retainers. There are two links in one of my silver Casios, I think it's the AE-1000, bracelet that can never be removed again because I was pushing so hard on the nib that I slipped past them and they're mostly flat now.
Great video that helped me struggle through this bracelet adjustment. It was a nightmare because the pins were a bee-yotch to remove. Other than that the adjustment went well.
Simple, straight to the point and easy to follow, thats what we need more of! Thanks!
Phew. Thank you. Just bought me a retro Casio, almost identical to the one I had in the late 70s. This video was a great help. Got my very loose watch band fitting in less than 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for this video, what a PITA to adjust this type of bracelet. Couldn't have done it without your video. 👍🏼
Holy Moses I needed that! 80 watches and I’ve never seen a bracelet like this. Thanx!
Using your instructions I successfully sized my Casio band. Thanks.
First time I've come across one of these bracelets and I was stumped! Thanks for the help!
All done! Great stuff, thanks for the tutorial. That saved me time and probably £15 taking it to the Jeweller's.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad i could help
Enjoy your new watch👍
Thank you so much I was able to do it without the specific screwdriver, with just a pin and a screw 😂🙌🏾
Good guide. Thanks!
Great help. Thank you 👍
Thank you!
Yes Ty
For some reason one of my links is completely stuck, and I'm having no luck removing it. I tested the other links and they are all fine. Idk what to do
Thanks a lot
I want to buy this strap, but I can’t find the band on websites
Could you provide link ??
As far as I know the bracelet is not sold separately. You'd probably have to buy the whole entire watch again. I'd recommend checking Amazon, as sometimes this watch can go for as low as $19.
Thanks man!
anyone got tool recommendations to work on this watch ?
Way better than the first video that pops up when you search how to do this. Thanks for the guide!
I could not agree more.Much more viewer friendly. THANKYOU
Exactly
Indeed!
Agreed, this was excellent.
Very helpful! Thanks! 👍
Really well done. I had to click through from google though to thumbs up this. Not cool. Creators go to the trouble of making these videos and google serves it up directly through search....not giving credit or official youtube views. thanks for the work.
Thanks i was afraid i was going to have to buy a watch band
It worked with a sharpened pencil for me! (Thanks for the vid.)

What tools did you use to remove links?
Just got this watch at Walmart for 7.00, it's a men's watch but it's so nice for the price
Wow! 7 bucks? Online or in store?
@@alexpalma3244 In store the price was 29.98, they had it marked clearance on the Walmart "At Your Store" tab.
wow, what a price!
I got mine for 50 bucks
Great tutorial, sized up mine in under 15 minutes after watching your video. Thank you!
Perfect video. Thank you
Thx this is the best video in the world, you helped me so much. Continue with those videos😂
Wow what a nice comment bro
Thanks. Super video, It helped a lot.
Great video. Easy to follow. Just adjusted my new watch!! Thank you!!!
Buncha thanks for this my man! I have skeleton ass wrist and it took me 4 links just for it to fit 🤣. Appreciate it!
Thank you very much for this great tutorial! I saved money and time. The result is satisfing. Wishing you all the best!
Just destroyed my second one I don’t understand why that last link to the far right in your video won’t budge out for me both watches would not budge one bit just going to order another one if I can get any suggestions I would appreciate it thank you
Thank so much dude! This is a great video and I’m honestly amazed at how well you explained it.😁😁😁
Thank you watch n carry! My bros watch I got him for his bday was too big and we watched this and fixed it in no time 🎉
Good video, thanks, but my links fought a lot harder than yours so I would suggest wrapping something around the watch glass to make sure it doesn’t get scratched.
This is my second watch because I destroyed the first one I can’t seem to get that last link pin to pry out no matter what I do any suggestions?
the far end of mine wont come out its like jammed but everything else came out easily
the piece at the very ends of the straps are not coming out like the rest are, it seems like its stuck there but it shjouldnt be, in the video they come out just fine but mine isnt coming out that easily like the rest, why is that
If i don’t own any of these tools what’s the best to remove/adjust it
gud work soldier. thank you for your service.
I have just purchased my casio ae1200 and its bracelet was too loose.
so I could adjust easily just with a mini screwdriver thanks to this great video.
thank you very much

Thanks a bunch!! Was worried I scratch it allover.

I did link removal for the first time today and I heavily recommend getting some fine mineral oil should one of the inserts be rough to pull out. I used sewing machine oil
Great suggestion. Thanks
Thank you. That helped. Done it in 5mn!!
I used a tac and a small flat head to get the job done. Thanks !
Thanks. Mine was a real pain in the rear to adjust.
thank you for this. I just bought the watch and the instructions to adjust the bracelet are not there at all :-)
Thanks brother 👍 I fixed Watch chain after seeing your video

Great tutorial, man this really helped me out!
Thanks for the tutorial, I've had this watch for years but never know how to adjust it.
Terimakasih, sangat membantu 🥰🥰
Just wanted to thank you. Managed to adjust my Royale bracelet perfectly per your instructions.
Glad it helped👍
Thank you. saved a lot of time and money
My last ones are stuck. What to do?
Great video! Thanks.
This is the authoritative video on this
Do you have to remove always two links (one from each side?)
Only if u want to keep the clasp centered on your wrist. But not necessary.
Mine has 2 removed the left and only 1 on the right and it still fine
thanks bro! loved this video
How did you make the light kept on? Usually its only 3 seconds on casio..
I kept pressing the Light button repeatedly
@@watchncarry9593thanks,.. i followed but, wont work. I dont know how long keep pressing it but ive done it, unfortunately it didnt work..
Thanks. Very helpful

Monday 3, 2023! Yay! Got my new casio watch and tried adjusting and removing links, resizing for the first time, first try and I'm so proud of myself. 🤭 Thanks for this video 😉
Super helpful. Thank you!
Any help on what size spring bar to get for the micro adjustment part, mine went flying off into the void....
Im not sure. But that has definitely happened to me before too
I would just by a spring bar kit from Amazon. They come with multiple sizes in the kit. Plus, i dont think spring bars are sold individually.
👍
@@watchncarry9593 yeah that is what I am going to do. Probably won’t be the last spring bar I send flying. Thanks for the reply and the video!!
Absolutely amazing video, thank you! Just adjusted my strap and it was super easy to follow this. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the video, I just followed along and managed to alter my new Casio World Time AE1200 !
This works like a charm, I've never adjusted my watch before but this video really helps. Its easy a simple to follow. I used a small pin and it worked out fine. Thank you very much, It is very much appreciated!
Thank you
Much needed! 😃👍
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Had to look for my pliers but I did it. 👍🏽 thanks man. My watch fitting nicely. Very easy instructions. Appreciate it.
Good quick easy
Thanks for showing me how to do this. It's actually quite easy and more finesse than brute force.
It is a shitty bracelet and the way to size it is atrocious.
@@stressballer It is a 30 dollar watch
