@sky-runner said in Suunto Athletics 7 loop strap:
@v.sacre This looks like a common problem. I have the same strap, and the metallic part also detached after just a few weeks of use. I put it back and squeezed it with pliers, and so far, many weeks later, it stays attached.
But I should say that overall I am disappointed with this strap and will not buy another one. The main problem is that it quickly stretched out and lost some of original elasticity. The longer strap is now borderline too long for me, but the short strap is too short.
Next time I’ll buy Garmin Ultrafit strap which is higher quality and more comfortable. I also used Abanen hook and loop strap from Amazon with Race and still use with Race S. Even inexpensive Abanen strap is higher quality, in my opinion, than this Suunto strap.
Longer strap is too long for me, I mean this metal part is too close to watch case. Short is too short like You said. I chooses to use short and over time it’s scratched out and its longer over time of use. But I agree. A bit expensive for this type of strap. I would buy 3, maybe 4 of them for same price without logo.
