Purchased this watch for my husband. Very pleased with the look of the watch- looks much more expensive than it actually is. The band is very large, my husband needed to remove 2 links. We attempted to remove the links ourselves, but I think because we were reluctant to push too hard and damage the watch we were unable to remove the links. On the inside of the band there are links with little arrows on them. On the edge of the band in the direction the arrows are pointing are tiny little holes with little raised bumps in them- these are the "pins" you need to remove in order to take off a link. You do not hammer the pins through like a typical watch- these pins are not just straight pins- they are a sort of upside down U shape that needs to be PUSHED out with a tiny flat sided screw driver. We actually had one of these screwdrivers, but were afraid to exert enough force to push the pin out. My husband ended up taking it in to Walmart where they removed 2 links as well as adjusted the clasp of the watch for free.
