Brown leather wristband for Suunto Vertical (Solar)
-
@alschmid I bought the brown leather straps of the Suunto 3 and swapped pins. Now I have a brown leather strap for my Vertical

@Audaxjoe said in Brown leather wristband for Suunto Vertical (Solar):
leather strap, non Suunto
Thanks for sharing your opinion and the hint. May I ask for a hint, @Audaxjoe, on what “leather strap, non Suunto” you have that fits the purpose and where you got it?
-
@isazi Good one!
Is that the 20mm version?
I wonder, is it not “too small”, with the 2mm missing to the strap width SV? And (where) have you found to buy just the pins?

From Amazon, I’m in the UK and under ten pound. Annefit was the seller.

@Audaxjoe Looks great. Thank you.
-
@alschmid Cheers. It doesn’t look it in the photo but it is green ‍️

@alschmid I had the pins around, removed from another strap, and the strap is definitely thinner because only 20mm, but I only wear the leather strap for special occasions and never to record activities, so it works.
-
@Audaxjoe I now tried the approach: AMZN, “genuine leather”. Looked decent in the online shop.
On receiving it, I remember why I prefer original products: underwhelming quality, only a thin layer of leather on the surface (, if at all), starts wearing off after first fitting, not really comfortable to wear…

I used to wear original brown leather strap with S9B, now for SV I ordered leather strap from “far east”. Looks very similar, it’s 22mm and quality made. I wear this strap for special occasions, not for sport activities.
-
@alschmid I do think the Original Suunto product will be high quality. I had the canvas strap on my 9baro and it was very well made.
I am sorry happy with my Amazon strap. It does seem to be wearing well, but I’m pretty sure I’ll invest in the Sunnto one at some point.
