These are some of the most absolutely frustrating things to replace in the world, and I am NOT exaggerating! It takes FOREVER to get the pins into the proper position. The straps can be purchased just about anywhere, but when replacing them, the pins can only be accessed from the back of the watch, and they are really tricky to get to fit properly, even with a tiny screwdriver to work the pins. I took mine to a jeweler to replace the straps (I should add that the two jewelers I went to first wouldn't even touch it - prior experience with them perhaps?), and he was getting very frustrated with it too... I don't know if the velcro straps are easier, but the exact same version of the straps that came with the originally purchased watch are a nightmare to re-attach. I recently tried to replace my straps, and thought that I had the pins in the right place, and wore the watch for a couple of days. Last night at Safeway, the watch fell off my wrist, the pin for one of the now unattached straps nowhere to be found. So not only are they difficult to replace, but you also wonder if the pins are going to stay in the right position, and if so, for how long! I love the watch, but the straps leave something to be desired. I think that Timex should come up with something a little easier for their loyal Ironman base of customers!
First of all before attempting the replacement, use small rubber bands to fold the straps backwards onto themselves away from their natural curve. This keeps the starps from flopping around in your way when you are working. The TRICK is to shave a little bit of the plastic off in the groove where the strap sits. This helps to compensate for the compression of the rubber in the strap when trying align the pins. I use the inner edge of a small needle nose pliers to do the shaving. I have done this for several freinds and they are happy. The cost difference: ~$50 (for a new watch) vs $1.66 (new watch strap) and a beer. The replacement strap now outlasts the replacement battery.

Found it on eBay in "Alan's Watches" store ... item #380170565999 (10/23/09) I could not find this item number or a band like this on the eBay "Alan's Watches" So I contacted Timex and they told me: "You can call us at 1-800-328-2677 to order a replacement band for your watch. The cost will be $8.00-$12.00, plus any applicable tax."
Hi, I bought my Timex watch in 1999. It's 2012 now, and it still goes strong. It uses CR2012 battery, which is not manufactured (but I can buy on ebay). It has a steel bezel and steel band. Regards Csaba
As the band is made of leather which is easier to adjust the band size for smaller wrists
, our Triumph watch from MIO allows for the face to be 'popped' out by hand and placed into another band (different colors). As far as fit, each band has the same size options. If you have any questions DM me on twitter @MIOwatch. Best, Blaine
Can someone tell me if there is a video to show me how to change the ss link watch band with quick-release pins, on my Invicta diamond Lupah watch??
yes of course only if its a dial case band. you have to push out those little pins on the band. then adjust to your wrist size. it is very simple
The watch band on this Fossil is a leather band.
No, the band that is on the watch cannot be replaced. If you need a new band, you will have to purchase a new watch.
How do you adjust rear band on transmission for a vs commodore 6hdd?f
Ceramic is the composition of band on this watch and it is water resistant watch.
