      I just got my Suunto nylon watch strap and it’s so much nicer to wear than the standard silicone straps.

      You should make them an option when choosing a watch!

        @Steven-Hambleton agreed. First thing I do when getting a new watch from Suunto is change the strap.

          @Audaxjoe going to throw some love to Suunto here, cause I disagree : I really like my blue/green silicone strap that came with the Race S.
          I also have a sport (nylon) orange one, that I like even more, but since receiving the Race S I didn’t swap it, because the blue one is quite cool.
          But do agree that this should be an option when buying the watch (like for the Suunto Run).

            @tailwind_mrs haha. I get a reaction to the silicone it is nothing personal against the strap 😀 I like the strap it doesn’t like me🤷🏻‍♂️

              @Audaxjoe Exactly this, plus the latch system catches on the desk when I’m at work. Just not a fan at all.

              The Apple Watch band never dig into my skin or got caught on anything, I really liked that strap!

                @Steven-Hambleton I like Suunto nylon strap less than Garmin Ultrafit or even less expensive Abanen strap from Amazon. After a few months it has stretched out and become less comfortable. I think my next one will be Garmin Ultrafit.

                  @sky-runner totally agree I have returned my suunto bands and buy 2 ultra fit they are way more comfortable and a bit more discreet to wear

                    @sky-runner My only concern would be the pin size with the Race S.

                      @Steven-Hambleton I bought Barton spring bars that somebody else recommended for Race S. They are a bit thicker and fit perfectly - not loose at all. Also, I compared them to spring bars that came with Suunto nylon band.
