My regular band broke where the pin holds the band to the watch. How does this attach to the unit and will work in place of the band?

After inspecting my setup it does look like the band from the quick release will fit on the watch. The band from QR itself looks slightly different than the original band.

Yes. The quick release base is attached to the watch by the two pins that held the original band. Then, the watch snaps into the quick release band. Be mindful, the watch sits higher than the original band. The quick release mechanism is like a spacer, like 1/4 inch higher. No big deal though, you get use to it.

No problem. You can add the watch without pins. I can send you photos. dmperona@gmail.com

Normally I would click "i dont know" as I do nit know if there is a factory replacement but... Try an office quality rubberband and double it over (perhaps 2x) to make it work. I broke a band on a shoot amd had to do this. Worked great.

I had the exact same problem as James. 13 months to the day after I bought the watch the band broke, literally just fell off my arm. Due to an odd design the band cannot be replaced. The entire watch housing has to be replaced which costs about $100 and takes who knows how long. I replaced this watch with a Garmin. I''ve put thousands of running and cycling miles on it and I love it.

I am sorry but we do not sell any watch parts or bands. You can always contact the manufacture and they can seek you any replacement.

You have to send it back to get repaired. There are small plastic clasps that are attached to the watch itself that hold the strap on. The strap can't be replaced without breaking these. My watch fell off my wrist after these clasps corroded and fell apart. The cost to get it repaired would have been about half the original cost of the watch. I switched to Garmin instead and have had it twice as long with no issues.

Just make the band a lil damp (very lil with water, almost like sweat) than put in on and hold the heart rate button on the watch, should pick it up....if it doesn't try walking with it and holding the button down.

Mine came with 2 replacement pins and the tool to use to apply the band to the watch.

Yes, you can replace it and I've read you can send the watch to Polar and they can switch them out but at a cost (not sure how much). On there website there is a tutorial on how to change them out based on which product you bought.

The attachment is different. If you look closely, there are 4 lobes on the end of the watchband. The band attaches with a long nut and bolt that go through the lobes and through the side of the watch case. On the Core band, there are only two lobes. That said, I ordered this watch band (based on one of the incorrect answers in this Q&A;), and I used cuticle scissors to trim off the two inner lobes of the Vector watchband to make it fit the Core watch. It worked.

HI. If the links in the watch are screwed in. this particular gadget would not work. But I had several watches , which I needed to shorten to fit my wrist, and they all had tiny little posts holding the links together. This gadget worked great on them. I am very happy with it.Hope this helps.

Hey Victoria: My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band. Thanks, John

I've never needed to since I just got it but looked on the back of watch & it appears to look just like a regular watch backing that can be removed like a regular watch. Perhaps you can go onto Geneva website & see if they give any information or send them an email to ask? Hope this helps a bit

Mine had a pin with a spring and ate holding it in. Almost like how a kitchenaid mixer you add beaters. Push up against the ring with the blade and turn to the notch. Comes off. Look up attach beater to kitchenaid on YouTube. Same concept but much smaller lol.

You can use any "Ant" band from any brand. Like Garmin for example. It's compatible with your watch.

Should work with any watch that has an adjustable band really, it's really just providing a large enough area on the handle bars to strap the watch to.

It's a ring type mount with an opening at the bottom. Just pull it apart and slide it over your aero or handle bars. I'm almost certain it will work with any watch.

They make a watch press with different fittings with which you can press the back of the watch back into place. You need to make sure the press has a fitting that will accommodate your watch face without breaking the crystal if your crystal is curved or raised in any way. If your crystal is flat, any of the presses should work.
