I have experience resizing my metal watch bands IF the bands use a traditional "pin" system. I just purchased a Pulsar for my wife and a Swiss Army for myself. The band uses a different system for connecting links (not pins). I see arrows on the underside of the band point in the direction that links should be removed but it isn't intuitive how to remove it. I suspect there is a special tool that I don't know about for resizing this type of band. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Stupid question but I will ask it any way is it a flex fit band?

It there is no hole and it is not a flex fit or a ceranic I can not even guess on how to do it.  Can you post a pic?

It could be a flat pin system...if there is a hole in the underside/middle area of the bracelet you need to take a small screw driver and push inside the hole one way or another to release the pin in order to size/remove the link...otherwise have you checked to see if they are just screwed in rather than pushpins?:)

If it is a Pulsar, it most likely is what Oscar says it is. It is a flat piece of metal about 1/8" wide. In addition to looking for a hole, look for a raised bump and push on it (with small screw driver) in the direction of the arrow. You may have to put a little "grunt" into it  to get it to move. :)
