A real sharp vegetable knife can do the trick.
Or this costs under a fiver.

The saga continues. I knew the watch needed a service when I bought it and did get a few quid off. I took it to a jewellers nearly three weeks ago who sent it back to the manufacturers. Manufacturers wrote to me earlier, we will service the watch, replace some parts, take a scratch out and polish it. They also noted there was dirt in the 4th hole of the rubber strap, which was days old. The service will take about 15 weeks and will cost an arm and two legs

I have had cheapo Casio digital watches for a while now, well since my Swatch Irony stopped keeping time. They are cheap as chips. The first model I bought (£10 about) was fine until the strap failed after a couple of years. So I bought another and again after a year or two it failed. I bought a replacement strap but the rubber wasn't so great and that too failed.
So I found a different Casio that looked like it had a butcher strap and bought that. Again a £10 odd. It did have a stronger strap but now (probably 1.5 years in) the little rubber piece that holds the strap and the outer strap together. I have no idea what it's called broke and fell off.
Do I just buy another? Seems a bit wasteful.

No thanks. I would not trust any delivery service with it, insured or not.
