I only use Bergeon springbar tools on my watches. Swiss made tools that most of the professional watchmakers use. They are somewhat expensive but "you get what you pay for". Stay away from the cheap Chinese tools.
Here is a Bergeon springbar tool. Around $17.99 USD each:

They also make these tweezers that are designed to remove springbars. Again, not cheap but is worth "every penny" if you change your straps very often like me:
The Straps? Don't get me started on other ancillary stuff for the "great hobby of ours" such as tools, travel pouches, watch winders, timegraphers , etc.
And don't forget every 5 to 10 years that watch needs service "as recommended by the industry".
That will add up after a while.....😉
