How to Adjust a Timex Wristband

Timex wristbands provide the option of sizing or adjusting the band to customize fit. Adjustments may be necessary due to the season or weight changes. A loose, ill-fitting watch band will feel uncomfortable while doing everyday activities or physical exercise. Removing and adding links lengthen or shorten the band without the expense of a professional jeweler.
