Aftermarket Watch Band for Cressi Leonardo

[Shazzeronthebeach]

Hi all - I just purchased a Cressi Leonardo dive watch and the band is huge. The issue is not the floppy end which can be cut, but the buckle end because I have to cinch to the very last hole. Is there any aftermarket watch band that I can replace it with? Frustrating that Cressi thinks making a pink watchband makes it "female" but the don't size the gear to fit!!!

Do you use a long sleeved wetsuit? That will take a couple of notches away.

Nope! I gave up diving in cold water years ago and just use a shorty with a skin.

Bungee mount? I know it takes the pink away.

So Jcp2 gave me an idea and I started down the wristband path. Found one for sports made out of neoprene for about $5 for a pair. Thanks for the hive mind help!

Late follow up. I ended up taking off the wristband and putting in a length of 1/8 bungee. The holes for the bolts that hold the pins for the wristband are barely big enough for the cord, and I had to make a cone of tape over the end of the bungee to get it through. The bungee is a bit long with a knot on both ends, and there is enough friction that I can adjust the bungee bracelet to accommodate all sorts of wetsuit thicknesses.
