Replace casio pathfinder watch band

SOURCE: wrist band adjustment

In addition to the Pin there is also a small inner "locking" collar about 2mm long that fits into the center section of each link.

I did not notice this collar at first and it fell to the ground when I removed the first link. Without this piece the Pin's will just slide through the links with no locking mechanism.

It fits neatly into the inner portion of the link directly opposite the arrow that shows the direction of removal on the band.

SOURCE: battery replacement

You can do it yourself. Unscrew watch caseback and undo the contact on top of battery. Read the writings on battery and buy exactly the same one. Do not mind manufacturers (Casio, Maxell, e.t.c.), just make sure the numbers are the same.
Some watch casebacks can be opened only if the watch band is removed, so, remove it if needed, just don't forget to memorize where every part and screw was fitted. Memorize how the battery is fitted and do not put the new one the other way around as this can damage your watch.
Actually there is nothing difficult - only you have to put everything back exactly the same way as it was. If your watch will be left without battery for more than 3 minutes, you will need to reset your watch after replacing a new battery, but it's easy if you've got users manual.
Good luck.

SOURCE: how to adjust metal wrist band on casio watch?

1. Pop out one spring pin to disconnect the band from the watch or from itself at the clasp. If you don't have a special tool for this, a needle or a pin will probably work. A straightened paper clip may be too thick, but they are cheap so you could try it. Now the watch and band can sit flat on the work table.
2. Examine the links. If some of them have little arrows on them (usually the ones closest to both sides of the clasp), they are removable.
3. These removable links are held together by a "U" shaped (actually a squared off "U" - sort of like this |_| ) pin that is inserted into the link. There may should be some kind of window-like opening in the link into which you can insert a narrow screwdriver or similar tool or even a small nail (around 6-penny size) and push out the |_| shaped pin. A straightened paper clip is probably not sturdy enough, but you could try it. Push in the direction of the arrow (from tail to point). The links that were joined by the |_| pin can now be separated.
   
4. Remove a second such pin from another adjacent link. Now a single link is free and can be discarded (or kept). Reconnect the remaining adjustable links with one of the |_| pins and re-attach the spring pin from step 1 so the band is reunited with itself or with the watch.
5. Try it on. If it is still too long, repeat the process. Good luck.

On most brands, there are pins that form hinges for the links of strap. You need to push them out to remove links. Usually you would find arrows marked from inside of the metal bracelet which show you the direction in which to remove the pins. You can remove it if you have a small watch maker's screwdriver but you have to be careful. or get one of these ..

SOURCE: I need to shorten the metal link watch band of my

I just looked at the watch band link more closely and figured out how to remove the links. Pretty engenious link attachment arrangement!

I thought there would be something in the watch manual about band adjustment, but there wasn't. I guess it is not something a "normal" person would be able to do.
