Strap/Band color suggestion for 90th Anniversary Edition
-
@dreamer_ Garmin Ultrafit 22mm strap should fit too and it is a high quality strap.
-
@sky-runner It’s been nearly two years now since I’ve started using those and never looked back.
I’ve tried wearing a nylon Coros strap for a while but definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. -

This is my road bike rig.

Maybe this one: https://www.suunto.com/en-nl/Products/Straps/suunto-22mm-athletic-7-loop-textile-strap/suunto-22mm-athletic-7-loop-textile-strap-coral-orange/
That textile strap is low quality. I will not buy another one. The nylon strap that comes with the 90th Anniversary Edition Vertical 2 is much higher quality. Even a similar cheap Amazon nylon strap that I bought before for Race is a higher quality than the one from Suunto linked above. It is too flimsy for a heavier watch and stretches out quickly.
I do not agree that Suunto’s textile strap is low quality. I use them (yeah I have them four) with the Suunto V1 without any issues. I think they work pretty well, for running and trails. Of course, there are better ones but is a product launched with the Suunto Run, so they must be light. I they were sturdier then we will complain because they are too heavy or stiff.

I agree, I have all of the colours except Lime and I am using them all the time, rotating between them. Best straps I’ve used.

@sky-runner I agree. I ordered the Nautic S band, it looks much better… Well, we’ll see.
Race S Ti.

Looks nice, sadly the price isn’t that nice

There are two reasons why I wrote that:
-
The metal clasp at the end of the strap fell off within a few weeks. I was able to fix it back with pliers, but that felt cheap!
-
it came with 2 straps included - a short one and a long one. Well, the short one was too short and the long one was borderline too long. After a couple of months of wearing it, the strap lose a little bit of elasticity that it had and stretched out, so now it was way too long for my wrist. Also, because there no longer was any elastisticity, sometimes it felt uncomfortable on multi-hour trail runs. My wrists aren’t meaty.
In comparison, the 90th anniversary strap feels so much more comfortable. It is very similar to Garmin Ultrafit strap too that I used for several years in the past.
