I suggest using a NATO strap for a largwr wrist. Any watch that takes standard straps will get you a solution that will work. Get adapters for a Casio and you are okay, too. Not sure what Casio models have adapterz available.
Any suggestions for big wrists (9″+) I have tried the 5600’s and 6900’s there fantastic but the straps are a little on the short side:(

The King G. The model number is GX-56. It’s a solar powered DW5600 on steroids. I believe it has a longer strap than the DW5600, and it has extra shock protection and the case is a bit bigger.
EDIT- For the record, I do not own one so I cannot confirm that my allegations are true- it’s best to read or watch a few reviews and make sure it’ll work.I WANT this one:

A basic G shock is like a gateway drug to more and more expensive G shocks!
I started out wanting a basic G Shock, then I got hooked on a riseman and now I own 4 g shocks including a frogman all purchased in around about 2-3 months and a very badly depleted bank account!I do love my G’s though – lightweight, durable and packed full of features 8)

Beautiful watch. My only issue is the date is really small for my over-40 eyes.
This is my 2nd Casio with solar/atomic. I don’t see myself ever buying another watch without both (when you can have a watch that never needs a new battery or winding and is always accurate to within less than a second, why would you? 🙂 ).I love my Casio G-Shock MTG900DA-8V, looks perfect in a work environment and still a G-Shock.
Now a need a black G-Shock….

Haha, a pattern I’ve seen many times. 😀WARNING!

I have broken 2 cases on G-shocks. They seem to last a while and then fail when a stainless or titanium case would not.I sold my first titanium citizen Eco-drive and wish I never had. The first G-Shock broke an ear off took enough of the case to leave a small hole. The second – a AWGM100B-1ACR tough solar atomic also broke the ear off but clean from the case. It is currently tie-wrapped to my EDC bag on the strap.
I just bought a used citizen Eco-drive sky-hawk with a stainless case, I will be putting a nato band on it.
I will probably get a Seiko or two also, I like the monster and the Seiko sports 5. Likely these will get some mods to them as I have wanted to make a custom Seiko dive watch for a while now.

Can I ask how the ear broke off of the watch?” A great leader shows his greatness by the way he treats little men. “

The first one I can’t fault the watch entirely, I caught the band on a hood catch stepping off the bumper of my Blazer. I am just surprised the band didn’t break first. The second one, not sure why it broke, when I went to put it on one morning the band came off. It broke right where the screw goes into the case that holds the rubber cover. I think that screw hole weakens the mounting ear. Both watches had the original rubber bands.
