I can't find a strap like that in any models currently for sale. Can anyone point me to one? Thx

I've never worn a G-Shock because they are too big for my arms, but I do have a cool Ironman story. I was under my truck working on loosening a bolt that would not budge. I had an 18" breaker bar on it it and with all my strength on the bar the bolt broke. The release threw my arm back onto the frame so hard it dented it with the watch. The watch was fine. Ran for another 5 years.

I've always really liked G-Shock/Iron Man, etc. They're cheap, perfect for traveling - very reliable, durable and not very attention-grabbing.

The only thing with this watch is if the atomic auto-set is having a hard time setting itself (primarily when traveling across time zones), it's a real pain to figure out how to set it manually until it updates. Also the hands block the sub dials pretty regularly. That said, it's a very good watch!
