Champion  10668     Tacoma, Washington |  Subject: Timex watchband...I've got a Timex Ironman OVA 75-lap, and the band is breaking. I used to have a link for buying the more obscure Timex bands, but have since lost it. I did a Yahoo search and came up empty (unless I want to buy a new watch... duh!). Any ideas? I've about had it with anything but the most basic, cheap watch... THis is the one I have... http://www.timex.com/Timex-Ironman-OVA-75-Lap-Mid/dp/B0029XA2IG Edited by briderdt 2010-10-20 8:10 PM |

Unfortunately, this is one type that will pretty much only accept the original band. |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Timex watchband... There might be a part number on the back of the watch band. Sometimes there is and you can type it in to find a new one. Also second calling Timex. |

| 100 | Subject: RE: Timex watchband... OK saw your model. Yeah I hate that type. Hard to replace. If nothing else, you can remove old strap by cutting away as much as possible and then gluing a new band on with some serious adhesive, like aquaseal. Not very elegant, but it would work. Once the battery is gone, your done, but it'd work until then! |

Member 308 | Subject: RE: Timex watchband... Oh no...bad memories. I had that watch and had to replace the band three times! Each time costing me 8 bucks. I really loved the watch and design, but the resin band they use is cheap as hell. Just normal wear and tear, it never lasted more than a few months. After the third time, I said enough is enough. |
