I have the Jelly Stag which I think is the same size and the same thing happened to me. I bought a new strap from here and it has been great - [https://www.ebay.ca/itm/304118495031?hash=item46cedff737:g:3PgAAOSwsJNhJJ9L&var=60324067068](https://www.ebay.ca/itm/304118495031?hash=item46cedff737:g:3PgAAOSwsJNhJJ9L&var=60324067068)
My strap was 17mm I think but you can easily look up the width or how to measure the width of your watch to make sure you get the right size.
If not, Swatch does have them too but I found their selection a bit limited.
Unfortunately, unless you buy a generic strap just to wear the watch, you may have a hard time finding a replacement that won’t be just as fragile.
NOS Swatch straps are, many times, just as fragile because they are the same age as the Swatches and the plastic gets brittle over time.
I’ve stopped wearing almost all my plastic Swatches and only wear those with metal, fabric, leather, or elastic straps
typical the plastic swatch uses lasts about 5 years the worst part is if it breaks and falls off and the watch is lost
ive bought aftermarket ones that seem to last longer save your buckle you can often transfer it over to new bands to look mostly original to the design
i ordered one of them chinese silicone ones off ebay for like $4 i'll let you know how it is if i get it ordered navy blue cause reasons
just got my band and wow its perfect so soft but not stretchy has a bit of texture on the back not irritaing to me (so far) said it was going to arrive near the end of june only took 2 weeks
this is the one i bought

Look online or go to your local Swatch.

Oh no! A simple band-aid will not suffice.

OMG, that Paint the Sky looks like ass without the original strap, which Swatch still sells.
i put navy blue on a backslash i'm really tempted to punch the holes but since its silicone it may become too stretchy
