Does anyone know of a waterproof watch with a crystal that doesn't crack the first time you hit a lane line? I have gone through enough "waterproof" watches in the last 2 years to fill a landfill.

I've got an Ironman about three years old now. I don't think I actually push the buttons under water, but I do use the lap buttons to time splits. So far I haven't had any leakage problem. I generally use my knuckles to hit the lane line, but I've knocked the watch against furniture a number of times.
My watchband was velcro. Now the velcro is pretty much worn out and I'm using a rubber band to hold the hooks against the fuzzy part. I might try out Jawhawk's suggestion, since no one around here seems to have replacements.
