:dance: I have been keeping an eye out for one of these for awhile. Wanted an inexpensive travel watch with large digital display plus vibrating alarm. Now my CASIO G-Shock Atomic/Solar can settle into being just for action sports. (photos of both attached)

Usual prices on eb$y and elsewhere were about $35 and up, plus shipping. Retail sticker says $55. Saw it from Rakuten/Buy.com for $27 shipped and decided to bite. They're order fulfillment for this item must have been next door because it arrived in 2 days. Gotta love that!
Model: T49854
Pros: large display, easy to program, multiple time zones and alarm, even an "occasions" alarm/notifier
Cons: strap is too darn short!!
As you can see, I went ahead and put an inexpensive NATO-like strap on but the lug width is 22mm and the strap is 20mm. Who can suggest a comfortable and durable non-metal, non-leather strap for this new acquisition?
Thanks for looking! k:

I find that Timex has a cleaner digital dial look than most G-shocks.
Congrats!

Timex seems to like that format, day/month/date over time display, 12 or 24-hour. They are highly readable. (vendor image)
