How can I fix my watch?

Question

I have a timex expedition watch with a (possibly) broken strap. It has a metal strap that connects to keep the watch on. However, the 'buckle' has become resistant lately, requiring force to be put on. Also, when it is on it comes off at the slightest touch of the release buttons. I had to clean my watch slightly one day, which was just before this incident occured. I can't find the same watch or strap in any store near me. I really don't want to have to buy a new watch. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks

Answer 1

you can go to a jewelry   store and order a watch band  and possibility get the same strap

Answer 2

Do you have to have an exact match on the wrist band?  Take the watch to a jeweler and they will put a new strap on it for you.  Even if it isn't the same as the old one it will be much less expensive than a new watch.
