Hi All,

This may seem extremely simple to some and some others may have not thought of it.

I have a Citizen Aqualand that I use as a backup computer/bottom timer. Doesn't do the full functions of my computer, but does tell me depth, time underwater, and water temp. Also has an alarm for ascent rate.

Anyway, when wearing my 7mm farmer john, the band is to short. Attaching it to my computer band worked, but put it at a difficult angle to make much use of.

So, what's the fix? I extended the band. Bought a rubber replacement watch band. Moved the buckle from the short side of the new band to the long side with all the holes. Then it's just a matter of putting it on the existing band just as if I'm putting on the watch, except I put it where I want it for the added length needed. Now, I just put the watch on like I would every other time. Plenty of length, I can't put the watch anywhere I want on my arm.

Enjoy.

Brian
