How do you remove a Fossil Smartwatch band?

Published in Watch Bands 2 mins read

To remove a Fossil Smartwatch band, you need to push the pin (spring bar) that holds the band in place, which will allow you to detach the band from the watch.

Here's a more detailed explanation of the process:

  1. Locate the Spring Bar: Look closely at where the band connects to the watch case. You'll see a small pin (the spring bar) holding it in place.

  2. Compress the Spring Bar: Most Fossil Smartwatch bands use a spring bar system. Use a spring bar tool (a small forked tool specifically designed for this) to compress the spring bar. Place one tip of the tool on the small "shoulder" of the spring bar where it meets the band or watch lug. Apply gentle pressure to push the spring bar inwards. If you don't have a spring bar tool, you might be able to use a very small, thin screwdriver, but this is riskier as it can slip and scratch your watch or band.

  3. Release the Band: With the spring bar compressed, the end of the band should detach from the watch lug.

  4. Repeat on the Other Side: Repeat the process on the other side of the band to completely remove it.

  5. Removal Complete: You should now have the band detached from the watch.
