Hello Guys,
I was a big stupid. I attached a non-Quickfit steel watchband to my Fenix 6 pro watch. I was using this band for fenix 5 before. I was removing it with the help of screws. Unfortunately fenix6 pro has no screws. I noticed this after wearing the band. Now I need to pull the spring to take it out. But there is no gap. Is there anyone have an idea?
Is there anyone have an idea?
Yes, same idea as in the linked thread...make a notch in the bracelet so you can get to the spring bar. Or take the watch to a jeweler, or contact Garmin support…
thanks but garmin’s spring bar unique
A smart solution may be, if you carefully drill a very small hole from outwards the hinge
keep in mind that you lose the warranty of the watch.
...And possibly the whole watch itself…
It can work. But I think rather not. As you can see in the photo from the thread I linked, the heel of the spring bar does not overlap the outside of the bracelet. You may be able to get a razor blade into the gap between the bracelet and the hinge. But what good is that if you have no way to then push the pin aside?
It might work if you could manage to apply enough pressure directly perpendicular to the spring bar to build up enough friction to move the pin without having to use the heel as a contact surface. But I think there is simply too little space.
