4. Installation (Setup)

Installing your new Tissot watch band requires careful handling to avoid scratching your watch case or the new strap. It is recommended to use a spring bar tool for this procedure.

1. Preparation: Place your watch face down on a soft, clean cloth to protect it from scratches.
2. Remove Old Strap (if applicable): Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar at one end of the existing strap. Gently pull the strap away from the watch lug. Repeat for the other end and the second strap piece.
3. Insert New Spring Bars: If your new strap did not come with spring bars, carefully remove them from your old strap or use new ones of the correct size (19mm). Insert one end of a spring bar into the hole on one side of the new strap.
4. Attach First Side: Position one end of the spring bar into the lug hole on the watch case. Using the spring bar tool, compress the other end of the spring bar and guide it into the corresponding lug hole. Ensure both ends are securely seated.
5. Attach Second Side: Repeat the process for the other side of the strap and then for the second strap piece.
6. Verify Security: Gently pull on both ends of the installed strap to ensure they are firmly attached to the watch case.

5. Usage (Operating)

Once installed, the Tissot rubber watch band is ready for use. The buckle mechanism allows for easy adjustment and secure fastening.

• Wearing the Watch: Place the watch on your wrist.
• Adjusting the Strap: Thread the longer strap piece through the buckle. Select the appropriate hole for a comfortable and secure fit.
• Securing the Buckle: Fasten the buckle pin through the chosen hole. Ensure the excess strap is passed through the keeper loops to prevent it from flapping.

Avoid over-tightening the strap, as this can cause discomfort and restrict circulation. A properly fitted strap should allow a finger to comfortably slide underneath.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your rubber watch band.

• Cleaning: Clean the rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or brush to gently scrub away dirt and debris. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Drying: Allow the strap to air dry completely before wearing. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can degrade the rubber material.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the strap to harsh chemicals, solvents, or strong detergents, as these can damage the rubber.
• Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your watch band, consider the following:

• Strap feels loose after installation: Ensure the spring bars are fully seated in the watch lugs. Gently pull on the strap to confirm it is secure.
• Difficulty installing: Verify that you are using the correct 19mm spring bars. If you are having trouble, consider seeking assistance from a professional watchmaker.
• Skin irritation: Ensure the strap is clean and dry. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional.
