I use my Citizen Aqualand Duplex as a back up to my dive computer. I just bought a dry suit with dry gloves and rings. Will I still be able to use the watch over my suit? Is has a Trident velco xtra long band on it. Thanx in advance for the help. Oh the suit is a trilam if that matters.:shark:

I have yet to have a problem. I worried for a long time that I would rip the glove. Have not as of yet. 50 to 100 dives and still going strong.
In fact the only tear I have had was cause by a hacksaw while cutting through a steel cable wrapped in a prop.

Go to www.fifthd.com - They are carring Waterborne Watch Bands . They are designed to be worn with a drysuit.

Put a piece of surgical tube a couple of inches long under the wrist seal on both arms. Have the tube stick out past the seal which will let the air move in and out of the gloves keeping your hands from getting a squeeze. It will also keep the gloves from popping off as you ascend (if they are the snap ring type).
If they are the snap rings you can try putting your watch above the ring (towards your elbow) on your forearm.

Yes I found that if I lift my hands up or forward air will enter the glove. I found that I don't need liners down to about 46 degrees. The watch band is only tightened enough to stop it from spinning on my wrist. On ascent I shift my hand position so the air will return to the suit.

Hey Eric
I bought one of those watch bands awhile back. I don't like it. I think I'm gonna stick with my Trident band. And as far as the gloves popping off; if I don't put the tubing between the seals and the golves they will pop off?

When you are at depth some air will leak from your suit into the gloves. As you come up the volume increases and if enough got in they will pop off.
This does depend on the type you have. If they are the snap ring type (the glove has a ring and there is another on the suit and they push together) this could happen. This is the type I believe you were refering to in your dry suit post. My brother has the same type. That is also the type Matt dives and he always uses the surgical tubing.
Besides the crush your fingers can get if air can't move from the suit to the gloves isn't an enjoyable experience.
