Very easy job, unless it's a super odd ball strap. Any place should be able to do it. Try the watch repair in The Bay

Does the first person to post their brand new Apple Watch in here get a prize?

I have no interest in the Apple watch or any other 'smart' watch. I have a GD cell phone for that. And I wish I could get away without have a cell too.
The simple yet complicated beauty of a mechanical watch is smart enough for me.

Sometimes when I wear a watch, it's like 16 days and 7 hours off because energy ran out. I realize this like half way through the day.
Smart watch would be cool with GPS and weather. I might be able to reduce smart phone usage with that if paired with a dumb phone.

So, is it industry standard that in order for you to model a watch, you must have hairy arms?

With watch shots, you tend to either get the hairy greek arms, or smooth-as-a-seal asian arms. There is almost never an in-between.

Nice Fossil. Smart to put the crown at the top of the watch instead of the side.
Crowns get in the way, and putting it at the top avoids the problem of the crown digging into your hand from time to time.

It's still fairly rudimentary but there are quartz watches that use GPS to sync time.
The dial on the right gives a very rough indicator of current latitude.

Oh, ha ha. I meant GPS maps so that I could use it to get to location to location.

If any of you were considering a Rolex, would you consider this one?
I had no predilection for a Rolex until seeing this one.

Wow... I like that watch. That's a great shade of blue.
 I could never justify such watches. I'd rather have like 30 Seiko/misc watches. And yes, my Avatar stares at pic because that watch is awesome.

Like the watch and think it's goregous but hate how garish the "YACHTMASTER II" screams out "HEY I HAVE A ROLEX" to everyone.
That and I have no idea what the numbers on the bezel are telling me. Maybe because I don't have a yacht.
