Replacing the Elastomer Band

[Chris]

I need to replace the elastomer band on my Observer. The small plastic piece that hold the bands together has broken. I see on this website that I can order a replacement band. The website also states that I should have a jewler replace the band. My questions:

1. Can I send in my watch to Niche to have the band replaces?
2. If I order a band from the Niche website, does it come with instuctions that I can give to my jewler to replace the band?

Thanks,
Chris

The Observer is 1/3 smaller in both diameter and width than the first generation Suunto Watches (Vector, Altimax, etc). It also features a chronograph, which previously was only offered in the Navitech but is now discontinued.

No, we do not replace the straps for you here at Niche. There are no directions that come with the replacement band, but your jeweler should have no problem figuring it out. The main problem is that you pretty much need a special tool to do the replacement. Jewelers have it, and can do in a few minutes what might take you or me the better part of an afternoon.

Hope this helps.

I ordered the band through your website a few weeks back and received it. I will bring to a jeweler this week. I will report back to this forum on my results. Based on your response, I am not expecting any issues.
