clasp on my jubilee bracelet

The clasp is a bit weak on my watch. If I jump or clap etc. a little harder than i normally would it undoes itself. This is easily solved by not doing that but going to the football would be a lot less fun.

Is there an easy way to solve this without risking weakening or damaging the clasp or shelling out lots for a minor repair?

Yup. Just bend the blade slightly. You would want to bend the blade that connects directly to the bracelet, not the other one. As said, just bend it very little, and then try it out.

Bend it, unfortunately it will happen again in all too short a time span.

Well, it depends on how tight you wear the watch.

If you bend the blade to fit the curve of your wrist and also make sure that you wear the bracelet so that you can slip your little finger under it, the clasp issue should not happen again.
