    I gave my son my old watch for Christmas (a nice classic Swiss Army one) but I cant find a strap with a 20mm width that will fit his wrists. I had bought a short velcro one but it’s still too long, and all the kids and ladies straps I can find are too narrow.

    Anyone know where I can find a 20mm wide band that will fit a 14cm wrist?

    Get a NATO nylon one, they can be modded just by using a hot wire or something to melt extra holes. If you get the ones with double keeper rings, the extra material can be doubled back on itself.

    This pic shows the strap folded back and pushed through the double keepers:

    Ive had them on several watches, including my G-Shock using adaptors, and they’re great, very comfy, and easy to keep clean.

    +1 for a Nato, also Rhino and Zulu similar, wide range of colours and stripes too.
    You could also try an independent jewellers as they may have a different range of straps form the high street chain shops?

    Maratac straps are generally thicker material, which may make a difference. Personally I prefer the Maratac straps, but they’re not so easily obtained, IIRC I got mine from here:

    Huge range of sizes, colours, styles.

    try a tropical perlon nato / zulu strap. same idea as above but woven and softer better for a youngun id say also has the plus of not needing to make new holes as he grows as the buckle tab just fits through the weave.

    Here on ebay from a uk seller, google may throw up others
