Why there's no Race 1 strap?

that should be the ATH2, it’s available on Amazon. I own the Race but prefer the ATH6, which is more flexible and comfortable for me

Nope. Athletic 2 is Vertical 1 strap, completly different, less elastic. I had Vertical 1 too.

I am not sure, but this was the most comfortable silicone strap ever.

Is it this one? I recently saw it on sale on the Czech official reseller (I see your image is from a Czech online store, too).
The price is quite good. I just thought it’s thicker, hence not as comfortable as the rest of the Athletic series. If you guys say it’s so comfortable I’m definitely buying this.

you are right, look similar with their 3 holes in row, but the surface of the Race’s strap is flat, not indented. Cannot find what ATH model is…

Exactly this! What site? I took random photo from Google. I always back to silicone straps, and definitely Race 1 strap is my favourite. I need to buy at least one for future

@Tami999 the official Czech reseller is suuntocz.cz
Thanks for the tip! Finally I can make my choice

Francesco Pagano

Perfect choice! This “midnight blue” fits the watch body even better than the original “ocean blue” in my opinion. The new strap just seems sticky with dust

@Francesco-Pagano
Maybe a bit sticky, but so comfortabe

Looks great, I agree, fits better than original one.

@Francesco-Pagano Grear color match Even though I’m more of a nylon strap guy, I find Race 1 straps great. Also, Vertical 2 straps are worth checking out.
