ok.. its here and i love it... but I do think it'd be better if it had a "G-Shock" style velcro strap.

Anyone know where I can get one of them for it??

Do they do a wave-ceptor G-Shock?

I have this one: http://www.g-shock.co.uk/products/g-shock_wavecept...

Certainly does the waveceptor thing well. Timing is perfect with a server my PC is connected to all day plus a radio controlled clock I have.

Not a fan of the reverse digits... not as clear as a normal LCD watch.

Problem is getting the right one to fit a customised watch.

Thanks to everyone especially pastrana72 for pointing me in the direction of the Casio and Shunt who I'm asuming is responsible for tictox reducing the price over the last couple of days!

Arrives tomorrow!
Not down to me, price had already gone down when I got to them. Great service and Saturday morning delivery for me. Agreed looks great, spent a while setting it up, temp was reading way out and height above sea level needed calibrating too. Ready for my next mission now tank

Tiktox sorted me out with a proper conversion part for the strap and the required casio velco strap. Me happy bunny now!

Cool. Wish I'd done more research before buying mine. I don't think there is an adapter.
