I need a battery and a watch band. Where can I buy or send for repair? Do I send payment now or will I be billed? Any help will be appreciated. Question, will it be better to just buy a new one instead repairung the old one? I have had the watch 10-15 years and it has not been used for at east 7 years.
Thankssb

mcdevito75 here, Almost any jewelery, watch repair shop could help with a crystal and band adjustment. Look for the small watch repair shop in your area to save on cost.
Send it to Tag. You spend as much as for a new watch but if you really want the new case and band for this watch you'll need to deal with Tag in some way and the fastest is to send it directly to them. Even then it will take months for them to replace the parts.
Hope this helps,

As SKAGEN have their own traiding rules you will not be able to get watch band in shops or even at the dealer otlets. All I can do is to give you a link to send to Skagen a required part doc:

When the page is open click on PARTS REPLACEMENT FORM and give all the details asked.
Most watch pins go for an average of 5 to 10 dollars per pin. If the band is in good condition there is no need to replace it. Most invicta metal bands can retail from 35 dollars and up. We are located in the Holyoke Mall in Holyoke MA
You do noy need an exact Anne Klein band as all watch bands are made to specific measurements. You have to measure the width of the band (the end attached to the watch) and buy any type of band you like, just make sure it is exactly the same width as the previous band. In case if you have the Anne Klein clasp or buckle, you have to measure the other end of the band as well and by any band you like, but in this case you need to match both ends of the band. Clasp or buckle are easily refitted to the new band and nobody knows that this is not an original one. Do not forget to rate, please.
You have two options and for both you need to find yewellery repair shop. Option1) Some jewellers sell NOS (New Old Stock) gold watch bands. If your vallet is thick enough for this option- shop around and buy one. Same jewellery repair shop will be able replace the old band with the new one, even if the band is soldered to watch case. Option2) In the same shop ask if they can built up (lengthen) the clasp. In this case you will spend less money, but you will loose on looks. Note: As mostly all gold watch bands are maschine made, it is allmost impossible to repair or lengthen them in a good looking way. Anyway- consult the jeweller first and see what he says. He may have some NOS witch is exactly matching your old watch band pattern. Good luck.
I wear the smaller, womens' version of the Nike Oregon. Nice watch. I was attracted to it by the replaceable battery feature, but found out the strap goes long before the battery and the joy of ownership goes out the window with the price of Nike wrist-band replacement. I held onto my broken banded watch for awhile, and came up with a solution. First, don't try removing the screws that secure the watch-band pins. Not sure how they work, but I tried several times without luck. Even had a jeweler look at it without success.
I went to Kohl's and purchased a black velcro Timex replacement band for $8. Again this is the for the smaller version of the Oregon. The width of the timex band in 3/4". It includes a elastic band to secure the watch. This elastic band runs under the back of the watch and over the two pins. It is secured to a faux leather tab (with emblems), which is in turn attached to the velco band. Using a razor knife, I detached the faux leather pad from the velcro band and ran it under the watch pins, then reattached it with a touch of Gorilla glue. Be careful to wipe off any excess as Gorilla glue expands as it dries. Finally I blacked out the Timex advertising with a black felt permanent marker.
No reason to think this wouldn't work on the larger, mens' version of the same watch.
