Can those that have this watch tell me how many links can be removed? I missed out on the small in pink but now the med is available. I was wondering if I got the med and had enough links removed it might work for me. I have a lot of Fossil watches and usuall have 3/4 links removed. I don't like my watch tight, but loose enough that it won't turn on my wrist. Please help before I miss out on the medium!!!!

Deb Hayfield1333556634.2874202 PostsRegistered 7/18/2008 I have the average size and I had one link removed and three other links could be removed if needed. You will love this watch! It is my favorite watch. I have the black and I order the Nantucket blue this time! The large can have 4 removed as well. I have the black and white, and the blue is on the way. I've worn this watch practically every day and love it! "A dog naps so much because it loves so hard!" -Unknown thank you, thank you -- I love the look of the pink. It's so pale and pretty. I think I'll go for the average. I know I'll have to have links removed but it should work.

I tried to place this in the reviews of the watch but QVC bounced it even though I gave the watch 4 stars. Beware that if the jeweler has to take out links, it is very difficult to reconnect the bracelet and if the silver rods are not flush with the edge of the ceramic, they are likely to fall out and the bracelet will come apart. Glad I have mine in both blue and white, but am unlikely to get other colors (as I had planned) due to this design flaw and the additional cost of sizing. roxiegirl1333855210.883335 PostsRegistered 10/22/2009 Today, I took my new large black watch to the same jeweler who took out two links last time from my pink watch. Within 10 to 15 minutes, he did the same for this watch with no troubles. I told him I'd be back on Monday to take 2 links out of my new blue one. Oh no ... a link problem. Oh well, it's too late to change my mind cuz it's been shipped. I am sure I will have to size down. Should I take the chance? Most ceramic watches (and from what others have said this includes the IM ceramic) use a pin and collar system to hold the bracelet links together. The process to size the bracelet isn't complicated.... but the collars are very tiny and thin and must be secured in place or the bracelet will not hold together. It takes someone who knows what they are doing to be sure the collar is tapped into place without crimping it. This is not a big deal for most jewelers. But some jewelers don't want to work on a ceramic watch (that you didn't purchase there). They don't want to take the chance of damaging the ceramic (when they tap the collar in place) or don't want to spend the extra few seconds it takes to do the job. I think there is a video on how to size ceramic watches on the Android watch web site. I tried it once... never again. The process is very simple... but getting that collar in place securely was to nerve racking for me. My jeweler has no problem. Hayfield1334403170.2574202 PostsRegistered 7/18/2008 Got my watch and have already taken it to the jeweler and had two links taken out, no problem. I got the blue watch and it is more of a periwinkly blue. I love it!

Congrats on the watch. I love the blue too. Someone mentioned that they sent it back because it was purple but I thought it was an exact color match to my blue chalcedony that I have from Carolyn Pollack.
Deb Hayfield1334416281.2374202 PostsRegistered 7/18/2008 Well, if you read some posts of the colors, some love the gray color, others don't, some love the pink, others don't. I wanted the blue as I am a tour guide and from April through October we wear khaki skirts/pants and white polos. I thought the blue watch would be a nice accent color and it is. If the watch looked purple to them, then that is their perception and if they don't like it by all means send it back. I love all the colors. I have the black and the blue. I may get the white down the road. This watch has a 93% rating on the reviews so most are loving this watch. It's a great looking watch for a great price.
