S9B textile/ velcro strap

[TheGuyFromTheSummit]

@bulkan unfortunately I only find the “This product is no longer in production” alert in the Suunto shop

[sartoric]

Let me revamp this topic just to find out if anyone has found a worthy clone.

I need to change my shattered strap and I would like to go velcro but it’s not easy to find some … I’m not even talking about Suunto’s one.

Good Nylon bands for the money is the Coros nylon bands.

not sure if they have a standard quick release band for S9B but I have bought a quick release nylon band for S9P
I think you can get a Coros Nylon band for S9B but you need to have the pins in place on the watch then band hooks onto those.

Both sizes can be bought from Coros / Amazon or other localised stockists

@TonyG
Unfortunately Coros doesn’t have 24mm straps afaik

[TonyG]

@sartoric ah! apologies, forgot what size the S9B was.

@Brad_Olwin I don’t suppose they’re available on 24mm?

[Brad_Olwin]

@DMytro Don’t know, search the store.

[DMytro]

@Brad_Olwin I did search already, I asked because I thought I overlooked something.

Same here!

[DMytro]

@sartoric yep, should arrive sometime mid-August. I’ll report on the quality shortly after.

try a abanen (NA)/yooside (UK) hook and loop strap - lightweight, bit of stretch, and very secure as inner hoop is between wrist and strap; and the hook/bar prevents it coming through the lug. Buy two so while one is drying can wear the other. Work exceptionally well.

@Jamie-BG
Unfortunately it seems they do not have 24mm … or maybe I’ve missed it

[Jamie BG]

@sartoric use the 26mm. Quite a few guys have been putting the 26mm on the Epix which is 22mm.

This image shows what the 26mm looks like on a 22mm lug bar.
