That's a great question.

I use a "Waterbourne" strap, made in Australia.... but still it
doesn't normally fit. What I have to do is this:

pull the drysuit up my arm, so that there is little overlap on my
latex seals - put on my glove (I use thin wreck gloves regardless of
the weather... They're much smaller than 3mm ones, and great for
flexibility - though not so great when it's 3DegC). I then put the
watch on my wrist, but about an inch nearer the hand than normal -
this leaves some overlap if necessary on the gloves to protect the
latex seal from damage by the watch.

This seems to work very well for me, although sometimes the watch can
be obscurred by the overlap (easily remedied by pusing it back as if
it was a normal shirt cuff).

Rich.
