Timex Marathon and Timex Ironman replacement straps

Are you looking for a replacement watch strap for your Timex Ironman or Timex Marathon watch? You're not the only one!

Recently we have had an increase in customers asking us if our straps will work with those watches.

It appears that the stock Timex Ironman and Marathon bands just aren't up to scratch and are prone to breaking, and unfortunately in most cases you cannot use after market straps with most Timex Ironman and Timex Marathon watches

 

Use the table below to see if your model supports after-market straps.

But why are so many Timex Marathon and Timex Ironman straps not compatible with after-market straps?

The problem is that most of the Timex Marathon and Timex Ironman watches use straps with 'shoulders' where they connect with the watch face.

Most after-market watches will connect to the smaller section of the watch face - leaving your watch looking like this:

 

Timex Ironman Timex Marathon NATO strap

If you are OK with this, then I recommend:

  • You remove the existing strap and check if your watch has spring bars which form a single straight line that the strap can thread through -  read mroe about this prcess here
  • If your watch does have spring bars, then you can can measure this part to find the strap size you need.

Is your Timex Marathon or Timex Ironman not on this list?

Leave a comment below and I'll see if your watch is compatible with our interchangeable NATO style watch straps.

Hi Jordan, I think you're in luck - from the looks of it that one will work with our 18mm straps. Just to be sure though - can you please try removing the strap fully and re-inserting the spring bars and measuring across the bar distance? Thanks, Brad

Watch band replacement

Hi, Mark here! My mum has a Timex ironman T5K523 Ladies model in black & purple. Mum loves this watch, I have had to glue the band together several times as it's difficult to get a replacement within a reasonable time. Can you help me with a stronger replacement or if not available, I guess a couple of original replacements!

Hi Mark, Unfortunately I'm not able to help you with that one, and it's not possible to get after-market straps for the T5K523 and the only option is to go with the (dodgey) original ones. Sorry! - Brad

Hi Terry,
Unforunately the TW5K94600 requires a specific band from Timex. I recommend you contact the place of purchase or your local Timex official agent for assistance.
Thanks,
Brad
