• Yes, I think even if we did have new cases available, swapping them isn't something you'd want to do.

    Do you have the piece that broke off? Since the Bangle's case is ABS plastic it can be softened with acetone (nail varnish remover). If you can put the bit that broke off back in place, apply a few drops of acetone and then move the plastic around a bit, and the plastic will melt back together and after a few days should be almost as strong as new.

    Otherwise I guess there might be some other type of strap that could be fitted - I'm not sure if anyone's got any ideas.

    ... but even if you can't wear the Bangle as a watch I guess it's still useful for other things - like a temperature/air pressure display or something like that.

    edit: how broken is the strap connection? Is it like in the pictures above where the very end has fallen off? If so, it shouldn't be too bad to add a small bit of glue to fill up the gap.

    Something like JB Weld (https://www.amazon.co.uk/JB-WELD-MAC8265-S-TEX-8265-S-Weld/dp/B0006O1ICE/ref=asc_df_B0006O1ICE) should do a pretty good job...

    • Properly clean the watch
    • take the metal strap pin out of the strap, put it in the watch where it should be (with the springy end facing away from the broken bit)
    • Apply the JB weld over the end
    • when it's try, take the strap pin out and use a nail file or similar to smooth it down
