It's not the most elegant solution, but maybe buy two straps and link them together in series?

I've bought long straps made for scuba watches at the LDS-- $17 CAD. Can't recall the brand.

Curious what computer it's for. I have the aqualung i770r it came with a NATO style band that is 14" long and 1.125" wide. Not sure if you can buy it alone from them. I actually broke one of the pins that hold it to the computer and had my old LDS who was an aqualung dealer "order" them and aqualung sent them 2 at no charge. I have a smaller wrist so I replaced it and now it is the band for my compass.

But, it's only 20mm and 22mm.

Maybe you can find something else on their site that will work for you.

I changed over to bungee cords. Now my computer fits over bare arms, wetsuit sleeves, and dry suit sleeves.

You could get the 20mm strap and then use a soldering iron or a hot nail to burn two divots at the lug points after determining the position of the watch on the strap. You will need to pull the pins to install of course. I have done this several times to fit longer straps to old watches that were 18mm. Most dive watches are 20mm or 22mm lugs.

I have never seen a watch with bungee cords, not sure how that would work. The OP is asking for a longer strap for a watch. How do you put the bungees on a watch?
