InvictaWatch Sizing Tool

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.

I rate this one star because you can use it to a certain extent. But don't think you can use it on watch bands wider than 24mm or watch bands that have pins that are tight in their place. Nowhere does it state that. It is also made of the cheapest, weakest, most fragile plastic that has ever been invented. If you put pressure on it, the plastic bends and creaks and wants to break. The pin pusher on mine broke while sizing a bracelet. I was left to do it the old fashioned way, with a thin paper clip. It does come with extra pin pushers so I guess they expect the pins to give out. There are many excellent watch sizing tools out there. No need to waste money on this one. Invicta should be ashamed to put their name on such a tool.

I got a new watch (not an Invicta, by the way) and with my thin wrists I knew I would have to remove some links. I didn't want to take the time to take it somewhere to get if fitted and figured, how hard could it be? Well, after 30 minutes with a hammer, jeweler screwdrivers and paper clip pieces I had removed one link! I read the reviews for this and although there were some less than enthusiastic reviews took a small chance (it really isn't that expensive!)and ordered it. In less than 5 minutes, I had removed links from both sides, put the newly sized watch on, realized I needed to put a link back, did it and I am done. What a pleasure after trying this without the right tool. Like the reviews say, watch for the arrow on the link, take your time and get the positioning right and don't rush and you will be fine. Also, it does seem pretty cheap and flimsy, but it get's the job done. I just used that for another reason to work slow and deliberately.

I just took 4 links out of my Invicta watch. Now it fits perfectly! I read a bunch of reviews about using this tool and found some very helpful info. Sorry I don't have your username, but the guy who said to use the tool to just get the pins to stick out, then pull them out with a tweezer is absolutely correct. One side of the pins have a groove, that's the side the tool's pinn should be pressing against. Like the other guy said, once you get the pin just partly out use tweezers to pull it all the way out. To relink the band I just pushed the pin in as far as I could with my finger, then used the tool to finish it. This method worked perfectly, no bent or broken pins. I did however break the tool's pin head, but it came with several spares so it was a non-issue.This isn't magic or an automated watch band disassembler, you have to be able to use a tool. If so this will work with little to no problems. Getting it for FREE when I bought the watch made it even better.

Your better off buying a watch tool kit. I'm a huge fan of Invicta. I have always taken the watches to a Jewler to have the band sized. I finaly decided to purchase the Sizing tool in order to save time and money. Thing is, This tool is worthless. First of all, absolutely no directions are included. Not that it is overly complicated, but it would be nice to have a little info with it. Next, the tool and the pushing pin are very flemsy. Last and most important, The rail that the watch band is supposed to sit in while you push the band pins out, is too freaking small!!! It would work perfect for normal watch bands, however, anyone that owns an Invicta knows that the bands are extra wide. Why they would retail something that has the Invict name on it that doesn't work is a mystery to me...Dont Buy!

I gave this tool only three stars because I ordered it one day after receiving my Invicta Men's 15491 Subaqua Analog Display Swiss Made Automatic Silver Watch. This watch needed to be sized down. There is no indication by anyone that this tool will not work on my new watch. It does not. The watch band on the Invicta Men's 15491 Subaqua Analog Display Swiss Made Automatic Silver Watch is too wide to be used in this tool. I own other Invicta watches that this tool will work on the bands. I have other brands of watches that this tool will work on. It will not work on the watch I bought it specifically for.Amazon, Invicta and the sellers of these tools should run a disclaimer on this tool as to not fitting watch bands above a certain width.Other than that, the tool does perform as described.do some research or watch a YouTube video on how to use this tool and you will not have some of the difficulties that others have described.
