Repair watch strap

Greetings!

The little loops for the bands on my Instinct watch strap are torn and are threatening to separate completely. While they are still partially intact, I thought that I would try to repair with a bit of glue of some kind. I realize that I can order a new strap. I am trying to economize. Anyone with any experience repairing these silicone straps?

Thanks!

Superglue works perfectly. Just be careful as it bonds/cures immediately

Amazon also carries the same watch straps in a variety of colors. Easy to replace and change the look of the watch.

I tried it. It looked like it would hold, but a day later the tears in the keepers were back - the edges have separated.

Thanks. The strap itself is intact. It is the little strap keepers that are torn.
