Citizen Aqualand Titanium question..

[Joe-Diver]

Not yet...I'm undecided because I use my watch when diving. The titanium band is pretty but once adjusted or sized to my arm, that's it. The black rubber band expands and will easily stretch over my wetsuit, so I'm a bit hesitant to take that functionality away.

Decisions, decisions......

Not so. The titanium band is like mine - I can add up to about 1 inch in overall band length without adding or removing links. You basically pull two tabs on the clasp and the band expands several times in about 1/6" increments. The bands are designed to be expanded with a simple pull to fit over wetsuits and then return to normal with a simple push.

Cool...now my credit card really hates you.....:14:

What can I say - I'm a bad influence!

The two tabs that I was referring to can be seen in the watch band photo (above) on the left hand side of the clasp. You pull these two tabs towards the opposite end of the clasp and it releases an extension piece that notches outward, thereby expanding the length of the band without altering the number of links. Mine notches out a total of five times for a length extension of around one inch (just counted).

That's the one I have....been a good one for almost 10 years now....

Thanks Undefined. I should have thought of attaching the picture.

Joe; that's certainly a good recommendation. Thanks.

Watch should arrive tomorrow I'll probably fit it with a Waterborne strap for diving. Look here for how it works:

Need a watch I can wear both diving and just casually, anyone have any comments on this one? I hear it's rather large, but being titanium wears very light. Anyone out there own this model?

tboxcar,

That watch is massive. If your wrists are big enough to support it, go for it. Otherwise, I'd look for something else.
