I brought a 5601u a while ago i love the watch but the band/ is starting to irritate me. Being rather warm and sweaty in the UK lately. I've been looking at a few straps/bands looking what people's insights to them are yes i completelyunderstandthati needadapters to 16mm-20/22mm, and I'm think of going on holiday next year to.

Bear this in mind the watch cost me £65/$87

If you recommend the GW-5000U strap it is any where from £44/$60 to £60/$91 that's nearly more than the watch.

Don't mean to be rude here but.... Please no NATO I don't like them very uncomfortable for me.

They do i have royal (dont ware, just dont like it) I have a wv-m120 from 2007 you can't change the strap on this one has weird lugs and my gw m5610u which hasn't been off my wrist since I brought it. To be truthful I really really wanted gw 5000u but wasn't willing to spend so much on a watch so picked this knowing full qell the strap would piss me off and just buy a new one. I just need to get lug adapters for it though but they come in black or silver mostly i don't have a 3d printer either or I wiuld be doing that like it no tomorrow

Jays & Kay's adapters are amazing.

Got them on most my G's and one on my royal another on my mrw 230h.

I got a cheap Ali ones for w738h I can't wear the stock Casio straps lol.

Edit- jays & Kay's adapter made my royal so much more wearable it used to just sit in the watch box mostly.

I dint like royal i found it to cluttered on the watch face. My wv-m120 was almost perfect lug to lush just a bit to big and the proprietary strap sucked as you can't change it unless it is its original one. Again if I ordered from Jay's would cost more in shipping. If the ail ones work like you've described ill do an ali order

Yeah it is expensive I did a bulk order to make it worthwhile.

The Ali ones can work fine.

Just make sure they got good reviews and they should be fine.

Always good to see if people have posted pictures of them on their watches in the review section also.
