Question

scuba 200
I have a Swatch Scuba 200 with flexible metal band. I would like to know how to shorten the band, please? Thank you very much.

Answer
Hai,

Look on the inside of the band for arrows.  IF IT IS ADJUSTABLE, the arrows will show you the direction to push the pins out of the band.  You will see the pins if you lay the watch on its side so the watch points up and down (vertically).

If there are no pins and no arrows, the band is not adjustable.

Kind regards,

Melvin
