What You’ll Need:

• Spring bar tool or small flathead screwdriver
• Replacement pins or spring bars
• Replacement band or band links (if needed)
• Needle and thread (for leather straps)
• Small pliers (for metal bands)
• Super glue (for minor rubber tears)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Identify the Type of Band
   Is it metal, leather, or rubber? The fix will depend on the material.
2. Remove the Broken Band
   Use a spring bar tool to gently release the spring bar connecting the band to the watch face. Be careful not to lose the spring bar.
3. Inspect the Damage
   Check if it’s just a broken pin/spring bar, a torn strap, or a missing link.
4. Fix Based on Band Type:

• Metal Band: Replace the missing or damaged link using pliers and a replacement pin. You can buy a link kit online or from a local store.
• Leather Band: If stitching is loose, use a strong needle and thread to re-stitch. If the strap is torn, it’s better to replace it.
• Rubber Band: Use super glue for small tears. For major damage, replace the band entirely.

5. Reattach the Band
   Place the spring bar back into the strap and align it with the watch lugs. Push it gently back into place using your tool.
6. Test It
   Give it a light tug to ensure it’s securely fastened.

Final Tips:

• Always keep spare spring bars and tools handy.
• If the damage is extensive or you’re unsure, take it to a professional.
