How to Remove Links from a Watch
These are instructions on how to remove links from a watch bracelet. The example is a Bulova watch, but this will work for similar watch bands
Instructions
Bulova watch, pliers, push pin
In order to remove links from a watch bracelet, you will need a few tools. All I needed was two pairs of pliers and a push pin.
watch bracelet arrows
Notice you can see the arrows embedded on the watch bracelet, which tell you two things:
1) That they are pins and not screws (for if they were screws you would use a different method to remove the links from the watch bracelet)
2) That is the direction that the pin must be punched out
The pin is split on the bottom end, and that acts as a retainer as they "pop" open when they are driven back in.
Align the exit hole of the watch bracelet link over the opening of the pliers so that no damage will come to the pin as it is driven out. I used a push pin because it has a nice flat top to push against.

You should now be able to see the pin as it sticks through.
Grab it with the pliers and gently pull it out, making sure not to damage the end of the pin. (It really should not require much force to pull it out at this point).
What Is Quartz Movement in Watches?
Watch image by Aqeel Ahmed from Many watches are equipped with a quartz movement, which provides very accurate performance at a minimal cost. Quartz crystals, common in many electronic devices, provide a consistent way of measuring time over a wide range of environmental conditions. A battery powers most quartz-movement watches, which can last years due to the crystal's energy efficiency.

Why Do Men Wear Watches on Their Left Arm?
Though portable timepieces were invented 300 years before the first wristwatch, they were not as widely popular as the pocket watch. The pocket watch design demanded the use of the right hand to wind and set it and therefore influenced the orientation of the wristwatch that became the standard for timepieces in World War I and beyond
