Meanwhile, one of the most frequently asked questions regarding the bands…
How do you adjust Seiko watch bands?
It it very easy to adjust Seiko watch bands. There are many different styles of watch bands in a wide range of materials. There are rubber straps, leather straps and metal bracelets. Leather straps and nylon straps are fairly self explanatory, so here we will focus on metal bracelet watches. Some metal bracelet watches have micro adjustments, others don’t.
Those that do not have micro adjustment will need to have a link removed from the bracelet to be made smaller. You are best advised to pop into a jewelers in this instance and ask for assistance. Any reputable jeweler will be pleased to help you- it takes very little time with the correct tools.
We will concern ourselves here with those straps which do have adjustment on the clasp. Although Seiko uses many different types of clasps on its straps, many of them have one feature in common; pin adjustment functions, such as are used in the fold over clasp.
Take your time; it’s a fiddly task.

1. Lay the watch on its side and inspect the clasp. Along the edge of the clasp you will see a series of little holes. Within the two opposite ends of the clasp, the ends of the bracelet will be pinned in place. The pins are called spring bars. These are spring-loaded pins, so will have to be handled with care otherwise they fly off.
2. Select an end to adjust. Generally, you need to adjust from the bracelet side if it’s a fold over clasp. Leave the fold over piece as it is.
3. Move the first spring bar side. Use a spring bar tool to move the pin to the next hole within the clasp. Doing it one hole at a time is easiest, one side of the clasp at a time. Push in the end of the spring bar until you can move the bracelet end. Slide it carefully, taking care not to move the end of the spring bar to the edge of the clasp.
Should you lose a spring bar, you are able to purchase them from any local jeweler. Move it until it clicks into the next hole.
4. Move the second side of the spring bar. Turn over the watch and use the spring bar to push in the second side. Move it slowly back until it clicks in the corresponding hole.
5. Try the watch for a comfortable fit. If it feels right, you are done. If not go back and repeat the process. If you have run out of adjustment holes and the watch is still too loose, you will need to remove a link or two.
