The rubber strap

Customizing your rubber watch strap for a perfect wrist fit is easier than you think. With the right tools, you can adjust it at home in no time. This guide will show you how to measure, trim, and reattach your strap for a clean, comfortable fit.

What You’ll Need for the rubber strap

Before you begin, gather a few simple tools
to make the process easy:

  • Sharp scissors for clean cuts
  • A fine-tip marker or pen for marking adjustments
  • A soft surface to protect your watch
  • The included double-ended spring bar tool

Step 1: Remove the Clasp from the Strap

Start by detaching the clasp to make the adjustment process easier.
Use the spring bar tool to gently press down on the spring bar, releasing it from the strap.
Carefully remove the clasp and place both the clasp and spring bars in a safe location to prevent them from being misplaced.

Step 2: Wrap the Strap Around Your Wrist

Wrap the strap around your wrist to get a rough idea of how much length you need to remove.
Pinch the strap where it overlaps or feels too long to help you gauge the trimming needed.

Step 3: Mark the Cutting Line

Using a fine-tip marker, make a small mark on the strap where you plan to cut.
Refer to the provided image for guidance on the ideal cutting spot, or count the number of holes you need on each side and mark accordingly.
Start by marking lightly, as you can always cut a little more if needed. Remember, it's common for one side of the strap to require more trimming than the other due to wrist asymmetry.

Step 4: Measure and Double-Check

Before making the cut, double-check your measurements.
Make sure your mark is in the right place and that the strap feels comfortable when wrapped around your wrist. Adjust if necessary before proceeding to ensure a better fit.

Step 5: Trim the Strap Carefully

Using sharp scissors, carefully cut along the marked line, making sure the cut is straight and clean for a professional finish.
It's better to cut slightly less than marked, as you can always trim more if needed.
When cutting, be sure to leave a small extra length to ensure a comfortable fit.


Advice: When cutting, make sure to cut along the line on the back of the strap, leaving a little extra length to ensure a comfortable fit on your wrist.

Step 6: Reattach the Clasp

Once you’ve trimmed the strap, reattach the
clasp by placing the spring bar into the final hole of the strap. Use the
spring bar tool to secure it firmly in place.

Make sure the clasp is attached securely before proceeding.

Step 7: Test the Fit

Once the clasp is reattached, test the fit of the strap on your wrist.
If the strap feels slightly loose, you’re on the right track. You can now repeat the process, trimming one segment at a time, to ensure it fits perfectly.
The goal is to have the strap sit snugly on your wrist without feeling too tight.
