Strap Advice

[Nullspace.Nomad]

Maybe someone can assist me with a question. I am cursed with small wrists (6.5") so I have to be careful when buying G-Shocks - as those who are similiarly afflicted know, it may not work out, usually due to the strap style.

Luckily, sometimes strap substitutions can be made that solve the problem (ex: a DW-5600 strap on a DW-6900) and that leads me to the question => I have bought a GW-6900 and like it a lot but, of course, the strap is a bit too "flared" for my wrist. I've tried using a DW-5600 strap, a GW-5600J strap, and the strap adapters from a G-2300B as substitutes but since I'm having trouble getting them to attach to the watch I assume they aren't compatible.

Does anyone know a good alternate strap for a GW-6900 for small wrists?

Which GW-6900 is it? The black one has a different strap then the others - I think the black one wears much better as the strap tapers down at the end and is also more flexible than the strap on the yellow GW-6900. I once put adapters on a DW-6900 and it was a real hassle - I think I would never try it again as it took me forever to get the springbars to klick into place.

It is the black one.

Does the strap have those ridges on the bottom that make it less flexible? There was a very good DIY thread about removing those ridges on a strap to make it more flexible and hug the wrist better:
