Cheap watch for surf fishing

[Frankiesurf]

Timex Ironman. I had one for years, 94' to be exact, and just lost it. Got another on Ebay for a grand total of $10.50

When I use the seal watch I dont take it off when I put on my bayman or phantom top the gaskets cover up the watch. I have tried the velcro strap and lost the watch. What I want to do is make an elastic band attach the watch by its pins to the elastic so I have a fishing watch that I can slip over the wrist gasket of my surf top. I wanted to try my idea with a cheap watch in case the watch comes off. If it works might try the navy seals watch but want to be sure it is secure. Charlie
