Tool for shortening your watch strap

Instruction video: shortening a watch strap

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make sure you have a soft surface to place your watch on.
2. Check which direction the pins need to be pushed out by looking at the arrows on the inside of the watch strap. Only the links with an arrow can be removed.
3. Take the strap shortener and place the watch strap on the tool. Pay attention to the correct direction.
4. Aim the pin of the tool at the hole of the watch link and turn the tool, so you can push the watch pin out.
5. Pull the watch pin out of the link and you will see that the strap comes loose.
6. Do the same with the next link and decide how many links you want to remove.
7. Once you have removed the desired links, close the watch strap again.
8. Press a pin into the link by hand and use the strap shortener to push it in until the pin is fully in place.
9. Try it on and wear it!

It really is that simple!
