I've got a velcro watch band that I've been transferring from watch to watch for years as I flood them on dives or whatever. One watch band for something like nine years.

I use the same kind of watch and generally at the first sign of issues I just give it to salvation army if they want it and get a new one.

That's why I go out of my way to buy the watches with the velcro and fabric bands. Sadly, Sport Authority no longer stocks the amount of Freestyle products they used too- their watch bands were bombproof and couldnt be torn off accidently- double sided velcro straps.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

You can try here or here. If you haven't already, Target is one of the larger carriers and you may be able to find something there.
There's a site I used to use for my 12+ year old Timex. I'm not finding it on a simple search, but I'll see if I can dredge up anything when I get home.
