Look on the inside of the watch band for two arrows appearing on the two links closest to the clasp. On the edge of those links you will see two holes where the pins are secured.

Put the sharp end of the thumb tack into the pin hole. Tap the flat plastic end of the tack with the hammer in the direction the arrows are pointing.
- 3
Remove the pin with pliers after the hammer pushes the pin out slightly. Pull the pin out straight. The pin will be ruined if it is bent.
- 4
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to remove the second pin.
- 5
Remove one link from the band once both pins are removed. You will remove the link that is second in from the clasp.
- 6
Match up the two loose links like puzzle pieces. You need to fit them together so a pin can secure the links.
- 7
Insert a pin into the hole on the edge of the band. Use the hammer to tap the pin into place. Remember to follow the direction of the arrows. Replacing the pin reattaches the band.

To shorten a fossil watch band, you can usually remove links from the metal bracelet by using a small screwdriver or a specialized watch band tool. Look for the small pins that connect the links and use the tool to push them out in the direction of the arrow. Keep in mind that if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself, it's best to have a professional jeweler or watch technician do it for you.

How do you shorten invicta ceramic ocean elite watch band?
If you look at the pins on the band, you'll notice one side is round, flat and smooth. The other side of the link is round and has what appears to be a pin in the center. This side should be facing up and the band should be straight. It was easier to remove the pins with the band in a straight position. I used one of the tools to the very right of the needle nose plyers (pin punch) and the watch hammer to push the pin out.
