    I attempted to remove the links on this piece of junk and the bit they give you broke 3 times. After my bits and patience were depleted I immediately returned it to the store to join all the other open box Platinum bands

    The reason for my bad review is that it is next to impossible to change the length of this band. The provided tools are flimsy and break. Overall a bad design if it needs tools that don’t work.

    Depending on how you love your wrist it opened up on its own and very easy. If you weren’t paying attention or didn’t realize that this didn’t happen you will loose your Apple Watch!
