Hints, Tips & Tools

Feel the need to refresh your watch with a new strap?  Just bought a watch and need to adjust the bracelet?  Follow these basic steps, using the best tools for the job.  Let me make the mistakes so you don’t have to. 

In this section we look into some of the basic maintenance and configuration processes most of us want to do in our homes without the need to seek specialist advice.

Continuous Learning

This could be from simply cleaning your watch to swapping out the bracelet for a nice leather strap.  You will find these individual videos on my YouTube channel.  I have also created individual articles to add additional information and any other lessons I have learned along the way.  You never stop learning, so a blog is the perfect way to add to the story.  Check the links at the end of this page.

Use the Right Tools

It’s really important that you take care sizing bracelets and use the right tools for the job. I have included some suitable tools in my Amazon store below that you can check out, but you can buy these from a multiple of sources.  The store is updated regularly.

You should inspect the tools regularly to ensure they are still up to the job. Damaged screw driver heads and bracelet removal tools can slip and cause damage.  As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
