Thanks for posting this. I had just bought a new watch and the same thing happened to me. It's a nice watch I really like it and now I am glad I don't have to replace the whole band.

And a kit is cheap enough that you’ll have plenty of extras!

Thanks for the video I was able to replace my spring bar no problem

[@learnsavediy]

Nice work! Hopefully it wasn’t too much of a pain getting the new ones in.

[@agglad2230]

Awesome video. Thank you!

You’re very welcome!

After watching your video, @@learnsavediy I've ordered the kit and it just arrived and I was able to resize the band. Very excited to wear my watch to work tomorrow! Thank you again!

[@learnsavediy]

@@agglad2230 of course! The kit is nice so that if you have issues in the future, you’ll be fixed in no time for pennies 😊

I have a question, should I be worried about "cheap" spring bars rusting from sweat or other moisture?

[@learnsavediy]

Most watch spring bars I’ve seen are stainless steel so they won’t be likely to rust but they all do fail at some point. I wouldn’t be too concerned about sweat leading to rust though.

[@CAT_SAYS_NO]

@@learnsavediy Oh okay, thank you for answering my question.

[@helicap11]

Why you measure broken bar instead of a watch bracelet size?😂

[@learnsavediy]

Either measurement will work. I find it a bit harder to get a good measurement of the bracket so I prefer the bar. But if the bar is too bent or completely broken, the bracket will work great too. Thanks for pointing that out.
