I wasn't familiar with Nob XL, but you are right; it seems a bit narrow
for a watch band.
Assuming your aerobar has a pair of parallel tubes running
perpendicular to your handelbar...
I manufactured my own, based upon some designs I have seen. Use a
piece of white PVC, like the pipe you see in irrigation systems and
1970's pool/patio furniture (but narrower).
Carve a crescent out of each end of the tube so that it makes a nice
contact/interface with the aerobar. Like this...

If you can get access to a Dremel, you can finish the carved edges
nicely.
The "X" indicates a place for a couple of drilled holes. Put a plastic
tie-wrap through each end to secure it to the aerobar.
If the diameter is too small, slip some pipe insulation (foam) over it
- - improvise.
This works for me and I imagine it should also work for anyone else who
gets as cheap and bored as I do... ; )
