That band stinks. Otherwise it was a very nice watch with a Ten Year Battery but only a One Year Band, in my personal experience.

 

You might find cheaper on ebay, but be careful that you are buying genuine Casio parts. I think $15-20 for an OEM strap is pretty par for the course. When a whole new watch is $25, the economics don't seem to make a lot of sense, but if you are sentimental about the watch, then I think it's worth biting the bullet.

Jays and Kays may make adapters for that watch, so you could install your choice of a more durable strap, but adapters+strap you'll be into more money.

I would buy another W735h to be honest.

 

I don't like rebuying a Ten Year Battery watch just for a broken strap.
If the strap cannot be easily replaced, they should do without the ten year feature. It's only going to make people hate Casio.

 

If you buy a whole new watch, consider the W736H, which for all intents and purposes is the same watch with a display that does away with the animated "eyes."

I couldn't agree more. The display of the 736 is so unbelievable good, I dare to say one of Casio's best ever and the usefulness of the watch is just awesome. I recently wrote a review about the W-736H just in case you are interested:

My favorite Casio is not a G-Shock - a personal, honest...

I do own a lot of watches (too many of course) pure digitals, pure analogs, analog-digitals, plastic, metal – you name it. And for one reason or another, I love them all (sounds familiar?) But when it comes to a functional, no nonsense EDC watch, a lightweight (plastic) pure digital watch is...

Thanks for the recommendations , to be honest I think I'll probably just get another watch to replace it with , this is a great excuse . The w736 does have a better display than the w735 from the looks of it.

Is there a aftermarket band or another solution for a band replacement ?

As a matter of fact, there are:

Those velcros are very pratical, fast wrap and they are very comfortable to wear. The lugs are too wide for the W-736H but with a small file you can grind them down in no time to the 18mm you need for the Casio. I installed those bands on a lot of my watches lately (including the W-736H and a G-Shock DW-9052) and the wearing comfort has never been better. They show up under different names with different prices but they are essentially all the same.

 

I'm waiting on the mailman to drop off one of the bands you posted and will put it on either this evening or tomorrow sometime thanks for the help .

Used some precision files I had to fit the strap works great so far, although the strap could have been a little bit longer I like it.

Glad you like the strap, thanks for the feedback

 

Thank you for the help .

Where did you find the adapters?

 

You don't need adapters for the velcro straps. All you gotta do is to grind them down to 18mm. You also could buy 18mm velcro straps but they look ridiculous on the 735/736.

 

hello, The W-735H and W-736H are asolite "B-------" to fit ,you can do it if you have patience,i stress these areso difficult to fit ,the G10 May be a better bet ,but i like to keep these as original as possible,theyre ace !!!
