Swatch Straps at Watch Battery World

Removing your old Swatch strap and fitting your new strap are straight forward operations. All swatch straps are held in place by a smooth pin. This pin can be removed by gently pushing it with something narrow. Once you have pushed it out enough to get a grip on it the whole pin can be easily pulled out. Care should be taken at this stage as plastic watches will become brittle over time and are liable to snap and crumble if forced. Once you have the old strap removed you simply repostion the new strap and carefully re-insert the pins.

When fitting your new strap remember that the strap end with the buckle should go to the top of the watch and the strap tail should go to the bottom.
