Easily added a watch face to my magicband

[mrzrich]

Saw this idea on another site. Bought a cheap kids watch and some dollar store elastic hair bands. Cant believe Disney isnt capitalizing on this add on yet.

Awesome! I've been thinking about this. I ran my battery down on my phone just looking at times.

Where did you get the watch?

I would be scared the watch band pins would pop out.. And I would lose my watch face (which is really cute)

Good idea!

Good Idea I may have to try it.

Where did you get the watch?

It's a kids watch. The straps that come with it are very small.

This watch face does not have pins that pop out. It is a "change a band" watch that comes with 2 straps that slide through the band.

From your photo of the back, it looks like it does have the traditional spring-loaded watchband pins. (It would almost have to.)

Thank you sooooo much for posting this!! I was trying to figure out how to carry my magicband without wearing it cause I can't stand having things on both wrists and really need a watch. This solves my issue!

I am at work so I don't have a picture of mine. I found a "rubber" watch at a kiosk at the Galleria in STL that was a fish slap watch that looked like Dory. I then found a "Mouse" watch on ebay very similar to this http://www.amazon.com/slicone-micke...F8&qid=1426858458&sr=8-33&keywords=slap+watch you just need to make sure that the watch comes off the band, then slide it on your magic band. Easy peasy.

I found myself constantly looking at my MB to see the time, so I made a watch out of it.

I can't believe Disney hasn't done this yet.

Guess if you are super worried about the spring pin you can put a dab of super glue on the spring. For this project I would recommend a cheap watch that you aren't super worried about

This is such a great idea! Now the only question is which watch to buy -- I might have to get a couple, just to coordinate with all my magic bands, of course.

How does looking at the time on your phone run the battery down?

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing!

Great idea. Thanks for sharing! I'll have to look for character watches now to put on the kids' MB.

Screen on is the biggest battery draw on my phone. I look constantly on busy days when we have different FP+ times for the same event!

LOVE this idea!!!!! Think I'll pick up a cheapo watch at Walmart and try it out. I hate to drag my phone out if my bag just to check the time.
