Firm on purpose: it holds because changing it takes intent. Once you get used to it, you can adjust it on the wrist.

Add precise, half-hole micro-adjustment to your favorite watch straps. The Fitwell M1 Yellow Gold replaces your existing pin buckle and doubles the number of usable fit positions - giving you a smooth 3mm “half-hole” adjustment.
If you’ve ever found your watch slightly too tight in warm weather or too loose in the cold, the M1 solves it instantly. No tools. No strap modification. Just a precision gold-finished 316L stainless steel buckle engineered for daily comfort.
Features
- Compatible with most leather, rubber, or fabric straps
- Installs in place of your existing pin buckle - no modification needed
- Smooth 3mm adjustment, right between standard holes
- 316L Stainless buckle and tang with stainless-steel spring bar
- Includes one installed spring bar + one spare
Choosing Your Size
Your Fitwell M1 size is based on the width of your strap at the buckle - not the lug width of your watch.
If your strap is straight (non-tapered):
Select the M1 size that matches your lug width.
If your strap tapers toward the buckle:
Measure the width of your strap at the buckle end, or the inside width of your current buckle, using a ruler, tape measure, or caliper.
Choose the M1 size that matches that measurement.
Most tapered straps narrow by 2–4 mm.
Examples:
- A 20mm strap (at the lugs) tapering to 16mm → choose a 16mm M1
- A 22mm strap (at the lugs) tapering to 18mm → choose an 18mm M1

Two minutes and a spring bar tool

I have a 6.25 inch wrist, and buying a leather strap for my watch has always become an issue. It is either too tight or too loose on my wrist. I'm glad that now I found a solution. This adjustable buckle is a work of a genius! Definitely would buy more!
Benni, thank you for this. That in-between wrist size is exactly the problem we built the M1 to solve, and I'm glad it's working for you. Really appreciate you taking the time to write.

I'm obsessed with this clasp and am adding to almost every watch with a leather, rubber, or NATO strap.
Beautiful watch buckle. Surprised by the impeccable quality. Outstanding service and fast USPS delivery. I highly recommend it. My next onr a silver ...
Brilliant. The ‘half a hole’ adjustment we never had. Tighten or loosen your strap on the fly. I’m going to need a silver version too now..
