Hello from Jamaica
Before I left, put the Expl II on the Everest black band so I could wear it in the pool and ocean, has not disappointed. Very comfortable and I know it will stay on.

We are staying at an adult all-inclusive resort, Excellence Oyster Bay, about 45 minutes from the Montego Bay Airport. This place is about 18 months old, the food is wonderful, and the beach is great, fun at the pool.

I emailed him before I arrived to look out for a few Professional SS models, no go of course, we are not going into town or shopping. I understand that Bijoux has a store in the departure lounge at the Montego Bay Airport.

Enjoy Jamaica! I was recently in Runaway Bay and also explored inland into the mountains! I visited Brown's Town and Nine Mile (Marley's birth place) it was awesome! I wore my sea dweller! Beautiful people on the island! All the best!

We don’t leave the resort when we come to some of the Caribbean Islands. Perhaps it is safe, we just don’t take a chance. This is not a sightseeing vacation, but rather good food, sun, pool, and beach.

One comment on removing the band and installing the strap, when I used the Bergeron tool (giant tweezers), you compress both sides of the spring bars, but then you have to let the pressure off after the bracelet side is removed. Caution: the spring bars, which are spring loaded (duh), can go flying. Mine did. Had to crawl on the floor to find them both. Next time I am going to do this in a large box, like a large shoe box so when they go flying, they remain in the box. If anyone else has a suggestion, would love to hear it.
