Agreed!

When the band for my HyperAqualand started to crack (the third one in 4
years), I replaced it with a band made by a company out of Australia
called "Waterborne".  It's a black nylon strap with SS buckle and
retention rings. Very simple in design, but extremely versatile in
fitting.  It comes with an additional 2" of strap compared to the
Citizen factory replacement.

In fact, when I found the straps, I bought two additional straps for 
team members (after some heavy brow-beating) who's Hyper straps were
experiencing the same cracking fate.

The neat thing is, they are only $15 each, about half my price for the
Citizen replacement rubber strap.
