XL watch bands - DRE - 05-17-2004
If any of you have had the same problem as I did trying to find a watchband that'll fit over a drysuit: the search is over! I found this velcro watchband - called "The Band", which still keeps the watch on the band even if one of the pins breaks for $9 at the Fixery at Southdale mall. They have it in a variety of colors and you can wear it as normal on your wrist. It'll also fit most divecomputers that use pins to attach the bands.

I use a Waterborne strap on my Nitek Plus. It has the similar feature of keeping your watch in place if a pin breaks and also uses a good method of looping and locking the band in place so it won't come open.
I did have to modify it a little - i took a hot nail and poked som extra holes in the watch strap so I could wear it from wetsuit to drysuit to no suit.
