Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was surprised by the large size and weight of this watch. The only problem is that the band comes sized for a giant and cannot be adjusted simply. For 20 years I have had watches with link bands with a simple clasp that has easy and obvious adjustability. I am disappointed that neither Amazon nor Princeton give any advice on this. Pulsar's web site says to take it to a certified Pulsar dealer.
Amazon has tools for removing the pins that hold the links. Search for watch band pin remover. Some of the customer comments there are very helpful to understand the mechanical process for removing links to shorten the band.
But if you are at all handy at fixing things you can do it with two simple tools. A small pliers, preferably a bent-nose needle nose, and a small drift punch. That's a punch with a flat, not pointed, face. No hammer required, just hand pressure. If you don't have a punch, you can fashion one from almost anything. One guy claimed using a paper clip.
On the inside of the band at the pin location find the arrow that tells you from which side to press out the pin. Press the pin, you will feel it move with a slight snap. Then with the pliers pull it out the other side. But pull it out slowly and look carefully at the pin as it comes out.
The pin also has an arrow which tells you the direction and orientation for re-inserting later. The end of the pin its arrow points to has a tiny circular shape cut into the side. This provides the locking snap you can barely hear.
I removed two links from one side and one on the other, which shortened the band about 1 1/8 inch.
For finer adjustment there are three positions for the pin that holds the clasp to the band. This looks to be a standard spring loaded watch band pin, not like the solid pins in the links. I didn't need to use them, so I didn't attempt to remove it.
That's it. Good luck.Later observation. The luminous dial does not work. 10 minutes after lights out, the hand luminosity disappears. Very disappointing.
