    Making the Band Shorter
  1. Step 1 Stand the bracelet up on its side. Look for arrows on the inside of the bracelet.
  2. Step 2 Insert a small pointed tool from your hobby or watch set into the tiny holes on the edge of the bracelet. Insert the tool in the hole at the base of the arrow. You will see two holes on the edge of the band. Both pins need to be removed.
  3. Step 3 Push the pin out with force in the direction the arrow is pointing. Repeat this process on the second pin. When the pins are removed the link will be loose.
  4. Step 4 Remove the link from its neighbor and replace one pin to secure the bracelet.
  5. Making the Band Longer
  6. Step 1 Remove the link closest to the clasp by putting a small, pointed tool into the tiny hole on the edge of the watch band.
  7. Step 2 Push the pin out so the link is detached from the clasp.
  8. Step 3 Put a new link next to the detached link and line them up so a new pin can go through their holes and attach them together. You may need to snap them together depending on the type of Citizen bracelet you have.
  9. Step 4 Place the pin into the hole on the edge of the band and push the pin through the band with your sharp tool to attach the two links.
  10. Step 5 Repeat this process if you need to attach more than one link.

My citizen Eco drive says ERR on the right screen and the hands stopped moving as well. It's a sky hawk

Looks like a weak battery problem...Change out the battery but don't forget to clean the battery contacts and watch the battery polarity when you put the new ones in!

Can't adjust the wrist band on citizec C651

Look where the band connects to the fold-over clasp. There are several holes on the clasp. Use a plastic headed thumbtack or some other small pointed object to push the pin in and move to desired hole to fit your wrist.
If the longest adjustment is still not big enough you will need to add a link to the band. You can contact Citizen Watch at 800-321-1023 they will send you 3 links at no charge.

Where can I get a stainless steel replacement watch band that will fit a Citizen Diver Ny0040-17L ? Citizen only make a rubber strap for this watch and don't offer a metal alternative or replacement....

You are right in that a stainless steel alternative is not typically thought of for this style of watch. The trick here will be finding someone who will customize head pieces that will fit the watch. There are a lot of talented craftsmen out there that can do this depending on where you are. I would start with the repair center for Precision Time. You can go to there website at PrecisionTimeCo.Com. Other than that I would call around to the local repair shops. You can also contact watch retailers to see if they have someone they recommend.

Adjust ladies citizen watch metal link band

If it is a metal link band, you can remove a few segments. Segments are connected by split pens. You should see a thinner end and a bigger end; or an arrow on the inside shows where the thinner end should be. Push the thinner end firmly with a pin or something until the big end pops out the opposite side.Use pliers to remove the pin.

Link removal of stainless steel watch band

Actually, this seems to be the big end of the split pen. Take a pin and push into the opposite hole ontil the big end pops out, then use pliers to pull it out. It should be easy to put it back. There should be an arrow on the inside of the band to show where to push.
