Put it in a box along with a polite letter to the manufacturer.
You will likely receive a new watch that may have been improved.
 

WHAT ? not with my luck. they would probably do that for you. but with my luck they would probably send me back a pile of dog crap and a picture of a middle finger. i keep asking my friends here to help me find a good luck charm but no luck there either. soooooooo ! besides thats in china right ?
 

If you have time, take it to a jeweler they may have a band that fits. You could also try Feebay or Amazon for a replacement band. :icon_thumleft:

Good Luck in your search.
 

if your like me and dont much time left put it in yur pocket. Sorry for the bad joke. :occasion14:

if you must carry it use camo duct tape

but who wears watches when your phone tells time?
 

It looks like a cheapo Chinese watch. You could take it to a watch shop for a new band. Or, for likely the cost of a new band, you could go to Walmart and buy a new one.

Personally, I like automatic watches and I have a particular fondness for Seiko automatic diver watches.


Currently wearing a Seiko 7S26-6040.

I reckon I'm a watch snob! 8-)
 

Measure the width of the band at the pins and drop $5 to get a new one. My 1973 Hanowa is on about it's fourth Neoprene band

Got a shoe repair shop near you? He can just sew the band back together. Probably cost you $5.00:occasion14:
 

I uunderstand Flex Seal has a GREAT GLUE LOL
 

I use to get replacement watch bands in walmart at the jewelry counter. Not sure what they have now days. Try a second hand store.

I hear ya, i still can’t let go of my broken 8-track player!
 

Come on guy it's just a made in China piece of junk.Go to chinamart and get another made in China piece of junk to replace it.Its not worth fixing.
 

.....we won't talk about what i have stored away that all needs a little fixing.
Can't refuse a repair challenge.
 

I feel sorry for y'all that aren't mechanically inclined !

I feel your pain. I still have a brand new double cassette player in the box, just don't have the heart to open it up and use it...……………..then it wouldn't be brand new anymore !
 

Why spend 10 to 15 bucks fixing a watch that probably cost 5.98.Theres not to much logic in that,in fact it is completely illogical.
 

Ever recovered a cool watch FOB that you wanted to display? Get a leather or cloth watch band and attach it to the watch and the watch FOB, then wear it on your belt.
