I bought a Naviforce 9044 in one of the multiple appearances in this place. I really like the watch, but the belt is gone. Actually the pin holding the belt to the body of the watch snapped, and the belt it self is past its due date. Now the question is where can I get a decent replacement? I tried searching for the original replacement but cannot find any.
Can someone point me out in the right direction?
Thanks

measure the width of your watch band/strap, then go on ebay and pick something you like, ie search for "22mm watch band", some/most would usually include the pins and the tool for it as well.
although for a $10-$20 watch, it might be cheaper to just buy a new one.
Yeah, just buy a new watch.
Shame you didn't post this a few days ago. I just threw my unworn Naviforce impulse buy in the bin on the weekend.
Damn! But… Why?
I think the Naviforce 9044 uses 22mm spring bars, which are the pins you are talking about. Buy some 1.75mm diameter spring bars from eBay. If they're too thick, you can't easily put on some straps except for NATO straps and if they're too thin, they'll snap.
You also need a 22mm strap for the watch which is easy to find online. NATO straps can be easily swapped in and out for the watch and still keep the watch to your wrist if a spring bar fails. NATO straps are pretty durable so you probably won't want to replace them. You could check eBay for some or you could check http://cheapestnatostraps.com/.
If you want some good quality leather straps, you could check out https://www.watchgecko.com/ but they're a bit pricey for the Naviforce. Check out straps from Hirsch or Hadley Roma if you want some pretty high-quality straps but sourcing these ones will be a pain.Thanks!
Right…
1.Belt=Watch Band?
2.Pin for the band to attach to the watch a.k.a 22mm?
3. Do you need a new watch band or a new pin?
