How to Get the Perfect Fit: Adjusting Your PRO 17/17B Watch Strap Length

Introduction

The PRO 17/17B is a fantastic watch, but comfort is key! A watch that is too loose or too tight can ruin the experience. Fortunately, adjusting the length of the PRO 17/17B's strap is a simple process that you can do at home without needing a jeweler or specialized tools. Follow this quick, step-by-step guide to achieve the perfect custom fit for your wrist.    

• Your PRO 17/17B Watch

• A small, pointed tool (like a paperclip, a small screwdriver, or even a strong fingernail)

Step-by-Step Adjustment Guide

Step 1: Open the Main Clasp

Start by locating the folding metal clasp on your watch strap. Gently lift the top section of the clasp to fully open it. This will expose the attachment point where the strap connects to the metal mechanism.

Step 2: Locate the Adjustment Pin

At the end of the strap where it meets the clasp, you will see a small lever or spring bar (pin) that secures the strap to the metal component. This pin is the key to adjustment.

Step 3: Detach the Strap

Using your small pointed tool (or fingernail), gently push the spring bar inward. While holding the pin down, carefully slide the end of the strap out of the clasp mechanism. The strap should now be detached and free to move.

Step 4: Choose Your New Length

With the strap detached, you will see a series of small, reinforced holes along the strap's material. These are the adjustment points. Select the hole that gives you the desired length—move closer to the end of the strap to make it shorter, or closer to the watch case to make it longer.

Step 5: Re-secure the Strap

Place the end of the strap into the clasp mechanism at the new, desired hole. Push the spring bar back into the hole, ensuring it clicks firmly into place inside the clasp housing. Crucially, tug gently on the strap to make sure it is fully secured and will not come loose while wearing.

Step 6: Repeat on the Other Side (If Necessary)

If one side of the adjustment is not enough, you can repeat Steps 2 through 5 on the other side of the watch strap to center the watch face on your wrist and achieve an even tighter or looser fit.

Step 7: Check the Fit

Close the folding clasp and try on the watch. It should feel secure but comfortable—not sliding around, but also not pinching your skin.

Conclusion

That's it! By following these simple steps, you have successfully adjusted your PRO 17/17B watch strap for a custom and comfortable fit. Enjoy wearing your perfectly sized watch!
