If you are ready to take that risk, here is how you can do that.
First- get watch on your wrist and by squeezing the bracelet count how many links you have to take out to make it tight enough (say 4 for example).
Check the sides of a bracelet. You will notice that the upper band metal is flipped over the bracelet side. Take tweezers or small pliers and unbend one of these. Try to do as little damage as possible.
When it's done, you will see two metal staples inserted into the bracelet. You have to pull them out. While pulling out, remember how they where positioned, as you will need to drive them back in the same manner.
So, when the staples are out, do the same on the other side of bracelet. Now you have bracelet in two halves.
Count off 4 links and undo the staples in joint of 4th and 5th link in the same manner as previously.
When links are out, take the staples and drive them back into the bracelet joining two ends together. You have to do that exactly the same way and position as you took them out.
When all staples are in place, bend the metal back over the bracelet sides.
BE WARNED: as you gonna do it first time, be ready that you can damage the bracelet or can not put it back together.

Good luck.

How do i adjust the band on my invicta 4898 is to big i need it to be shorter please help

To remove some links: If you don't have special tool, at least you have to have something really hard and thin (like the pin you use to post notes on the cork board). Put that pin in to the tiny hole between links where the bracelet pin is and then press/push it forward (follow arrow direction as shown on the inside of the bracelet links.) When the bracelet pin comes out at one end, pull it out of that end totally.
After removing one links, connect the two links from two sides by placing the bracelet pin back into the hole and push it to the other end.

I bought a Michael Kors watch and need HELP!

Have you thought of changing the band to a leather one?

This would allow you to make holes in the best place to give the correct length for you.

Alternatively you might be able to get an expanding metal type which would solve the problem. This type can also be adjusted for length.

How do you take out the links on the bracelet? I want to make he brcelet smaller. I can see where there are arrows on the links that can be taken out but cannot workout how the links can be removed.

If you cannot work out how to remove a link, take it to a watch shop.

Don't be tempted to apply a large force on any of the pins as you may damage them.

How do you remove a link without using any tools

You don't say much in your question ...

So ... I'm guessing ...

I'm guessing you have a watch with a expansion band that has removable links.

I'm also guessing it has a snap fastener and you have already made your band smaller through adjusting that part of the bracelet.

I'm guessing that yours is of a similar design to several I have owned and/or adjusted for others.

I'm guessing you have a paper clip in your home or office and ...

I am also guessing you never thought of a paper clip as a tool.

Straighten one leg of the paper clikp and pop out the little keeper on two of those links, reattach the loose ends for a smaller bracelet. There should be a little arrow pointing in the direction you should push the little clip/keeper.

I hope this helps you make your bracelet the size you need it to be.

Thanks for your question at FixYa.com

How to make a relic watch bracelet a little smaller?

No but if this is a mens watch there might be a micro adjustment on the clasp. To adjust press the pin in the clasp and move the pin in or out depending on the position of the pin to make loose or tight.

Adjust expandable watch bands- Timex watch

Most expandable watch bands aren't sizable. IF it is sizable you will be able to tell when you stretch the bracelet out. If it looks like you can unlatch the links when you stretch it out then you might be in luck, but like I said, most are not sizable.
