Help with my New watch

[Gilgamesh]

can someone help me with my new Welder K29 watch, have problem with the strap, it has unusual clasp mechanism
i open the buckle move the strap it then hard to get on because of the clasp which i dont seem to open or take of
it look like a butterfly clasp but it dosnt open up is more like a metal rod

Is this clasp supose to be opened or taken off somehow

[meoramri]

Looks like a butterfly clasp - best to go back to the AD to check it out

[Gilgamesh]

It say Deployant Buckle but it dosnt open up is a fixed one like a large rod
is like a long bow on the backside of the strap which look like it does nothing, it just make it dificult to get the strap on
since the strap become to tight when putting it through the buckle

[Cocas]

Just press hard it down till you hear a click sound. To open, just pull harder outward. Not a butterfly clasp.

My EPOS is using this simple strap.

[Gilgamesh]

Thanks, yes the Buckle i open and slide the strap in and then click close thats okay
but its still tight,  the strap when moved inside the buckle hit the other strap and has to be pulled and is dificult to do it on the arm, then the clasp on the backside i though i could open it up like butterfly clasp but is like fixed is like a seal that dont budge

[Gilgamesh]

As you can see the buckle is open i slide in the strap but it collide with the other strap

[Cocas]

Just slide on top of the other strap.

[Cocas]

I think what u mean " open " is to unbuckle the strap.

No, we don't unbuckle it. The normal way open the strap is to pull it hard. Because after pulling, it open like a butterfly clasp.

I will need to show you how with real photos.

Oic. Sorry for wrong guides by me.

I thought only the click button auto deployant butterfly clasp can be called butterfly clasp.

I thought the manual pulling type butterfly clasp is not a butterfly clasp.

I got them all wrong all these while.

Thanks .

@Cocas not sure bout the name too..i just call all clasps which open in both sides butterfly clasps. LOL..

Just wanted to show op that he doesnt need to pull out the strap everytime he wants to take off the watch

I did is very dificult, when i slide it then the pin goes into the first hole,  need to use the 3rd hole then i have to lift it up under near and drag or push it, and is dificult and take time, i think it not supose to be like that

Just slide on top of the other strap.

[Gilgamesh]

Mine is not like this it only have the large rod on the back which look like is sticked to the strap
it can not be opened, i though it was like on this photo when i get it but i mine my be a different version

I have quite a few watches with such butterfly clasps. To close, push the non-clasp end first till you hear the locking sound, then push the clasp end. To open, just reverse the manner. Perhaps yours is harder to open/close as you have not adjusted to the hole that fits you best. Why not try adjusting that and see if it helps? Once you get the position to a good fit, these straps are great as they don't get strained by the normal buckling and unbuckling pressure as per the norm, so the straps tend to look new and last longer.

[Gilgamesh]

Problem is that the clasp mine is not butterfly is not open like that
is just a rod on the backside that look fixed, i dont know what is there for unless is for holding parts together
it make it dificult to get the strap in. 

Me too though it was a butterfly clasp at first that i press and it open but it does not open is not same

[Gilgamesh]

This is how my clasp is , i dont know if this can be opened
should i push the squares in the middle inward or outward

[Gilgamesh]

I got 2 options for now

1.  I could get a repair watch store to just remplace the buckle on the rubber strap i just have
     then this complicated clasp on the backside is gone since is atached to buckle, and is painful on my arm

2.  I could get another strap leather to remplace the rubber strap, this is a good one
     then i get a watch repair store to put it on should be simple, then problem solved

I could try option 1 first then 2

Now i just hope that a repair watch store is able to get the strap off and get on a proper good leather strap
then i have a good watch.

Step 1
Not yet opened.

[Cocas]

Step 2
Open one side first

[Cocas]

Step 3
Open both sides

[Gilgamesh]

Dude i had same problem when i first bought this kind of buckle... take me an hour to figure it out... those days when i cant differentiate quartz and mechanical watches... all i know back then was jam bateri and jam guna nadi (how naive) hehehhehe....and yes, this kind of buckle is not very friendly for the first timer...

[Gilgamesh]

Yep atleast now it work, now i have adjusted arm size and i leave it like that, can take off and on watch easy and fast
i hope to buy a leather strap soon but it has not butterfly clasp thats the downside, but is leather instead of rubber.
But for now i am happy with the watch

Anyone know what battery Welder K29 use, does it use 1 battery or 2?
just to get some extra battery for later on

On specs on internet on welder K29 it say it has 3 NON-standard batteries, not only 1 but 3
Non-standard what does that mean...that Welder battery need to be used not any other?
