I'm looking for a small piezo element sounder (for a GPS watch) that's 15mm
in diameter.

I'd normally just order from ebay for something like this but there doesn't
seem to be anything that small in diameter there. (For example:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Piezo-Cera...item27de997178 )

Any recommended sites where I can buy just the one without being stung
horrendously for P&P?

Have you tried the makers? Or just buy a cheap watch with an alarm from
a market stall.

Nope, but given that they don't supply batteries, new screens or other parts
I think it's unlikely that they'll supply one. No harm asking I suppose
though.

Or just buy a cheap watch with an alarm
from a market stall.

They usually have no wired contacts, using springy electrodes to make
electrical contact. I need one with wires attached (which I've never seen
in a watch). Never tried soldering to one so I'm not sure how easy that
would be.

You may want to think out of the box and dismantle a subminiature piezo
buzzer, I'm sure I've seen a few smaller than the more usual 25mm.

The last 2 PCs I built came with tiny piezo speakers for connection to
the mobo speaker pins but they were probably closer to 10mm dia.

Maybe CPC for the buzzer idea.

it's a ba-na-na . . . .

I'm looking for a small sounder to replace a bulb in a continuity tester
that runs on 1.5v AA.
I can no longer see the light.

What about buying a watch with an alarm from a pound shop and just
cannibalising it.
