Edit: it seems it *is* different in this regard, in a very bad way! Well, at least it still has the EZ links, lol.
If your watch is on a metal bracelet, then you have nothing to worry about. EZ links make re-sizing easy.

If you want to go from a bracelet to a strap or from one strap to another, then you have to deal with friction pins. You may as well invest in one of these tools:
