Bracelet & Strap Adjusting
How to Adjust Your ModHouse Watch Band
Our timepieces are hand-assembled and many come with solid link bracelets. Wrist sizes are different, so a quick adjustment will make yours fit perfectly. You can do it yourself in a few minutes, or take it to any local watch/jewelry shop and they can size it for you.
Quick options
- Visit a watch/jewelry repair shop (recommended) — most will size it in 2–3 minutes for a small fee.
- DIY at home using a small pin tool or link removal tool.
Before you start
- Work on a flat surface so parts don’t roll away.
- Have a small tool: link remover, pin pusher, or even a thin push pin.
- Most ModHouse bracelets have arrows on the inside of the links showing the direction to push the pins out.
Method 1: Have It Professionally Sized (Recommended)
If you don’t want to risk scratching the bracelet, simply take it to a local watchmaker, jeweler, or repair kiosk. Just say: “Can you size this stainless-steel bracelet to my wrist?”
Because our watches follow standard bracelet construction, any watch person will know what to do.
Method 2: DIY Bracelet Adjustment
- Find the arrows. Flip the bracelet over. On the inside of the links, you’ll see tiny arrows — that’s the direction the pin comes out.
- Push the pin out. Using your tool, push the pin in the direction of the arrow. It will slide out. (On some models, it’s a small screw — in that case, unscrew instead of pushing.)
- Remove 1–2 links. Start by removing the same number of links from each side of the clasp so the clasp stays centered on your wrist.
- Reconnect the bracelet. Line the links back up and push the pin back in the opposite direction. Make sure it’s flush.
- Fine-tune the clasp. Many clasps have micro-adjustment holes inside. Move the spring bar to a closer hole if you just need a tiny adjustment.
Rubber Bracelet Adjustment
Our rubber strap watches are designed to be adjustable for a perfect fit. Depending on your wrist size, resizing may not require cutting. In many cases, you can simply adjust the fit by moving the clasp pin to a different hole on the strap.
If further adjustment is needed, use the included adjustment kit to remove the strap and trim the rubber along the small guide lines. These lines are designed for this purpose and will not damage the watch. After cutting, reinsert the strap into the clasp and secure it using the tool.
As with any quality timepiece, we recommend visiting a professional watch repair shop if you prefer expert assistance.
Tips
- Always remove links from both sides so the watch sits centered.
- Keep the extra links and pins in the watch box in case you want to sell or gift it.
- If a pin feels tight, don’t force it — use the professional option above.
