Ankle straps?

I would like to wear my garmin vivoactive 4s on my ankle during work, as we have to be bare below the elbows in the hospital.

I couldn't find any longer straps to put on my watch, anybody got any recommendations? ( the strap don't need to be too long - circumference of 20 cm would fit i recon)

Thanks for the advice

This is something that people with larger writs have also done - add part of a 2nd band. It would also make it easier for when you don't need the extension. Just remove the extra part,

I just bought a band from Barton. They sent both a normal and long length for the non buckle side. I think the long one would give you the 20cm. But be sure to check the actual width of the watch where the band goes. Barton is saying they are not compatible with Garmin because they have found a lot of variation in the width of the watches and people have trouble with the band pins not holding. I found mine measured the correct size and ordered it anyway. It has been working fine. https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/collections/elite-silicone-quick-release

Another thought would be to use this. https://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/accessories/tickr-fit-replacement-straps I use the HR monitor that uses these. It is velcro, but not the surface that is next to your skin. You would need to put some band pins in the watch to loop this around and you would have to cut it down as it is wider than the 4 and 4S bands. As it is designed for use on the forearm, it should be plenty long to use on the ankle.
