S9B textile/ velcro strap

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!

@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.

Received my strap today. First impression is really good, with the exception of the rather shortish spring bars. But … the spring bars and the tool are included, and to change the strap was not hard at all. The material feels good and it seems to be made welll. The mechanism to adapt the length and “tension” feels good, too. I am looking forward to using it, and see how it behaves and how it dries (or gets wet).
