Last week I finally sat down and designed my own wrist band made out of some 2' wide velco bands with reinforcement and some 3 smaller 1/2' pieces of material sowed/glued on top. The cost was around $5 in materials and a couple of nights designing and creating the thing. Very sturdy and seems to me to be a lot stronger than the existing rubber wrist band. And the best - IT DOES FIT MY ARM WHEN IN DRYSUIT :-) The basic idea is 'stolen' from these sports watch bands. I have a .PDF file with the design.

The only problem is that is does use up the batteries very fast, as it is get's turned on by touch/tapping. And it does tend to turn on during handling/transport. But it is all worth it.
