I had no problem removing the links from men's Fossil watch and a few cheap men's and woman's watches. You need to take your time to make sure you are not pressing the pins out at an angle (or you'll bend the tool itself).  This is a quality piece for being cheap, but the first thing I did was neatly apply masking tape to the surfaces a watch would touch, to decrease the likelihood of scratching the watch. All in all, I would buy another if this one breaks.
