Which is your favourite S9 strap?

@inkognito awesome pics but I looked at their site and they are out 10 weeks min…sorta depressing.

@Tom When I ordered mine, I tried to look for the suunto-sized pins on the internet. I didn’t find anything quickly available. But maybe that changed. Suunto service center is like 3 km from my flat, so I went there
During running, the watch is very stable with this strap. And it feels lighter than with the silicon one. But in 90 % of cases I still use the silicon strap for running. I usually sweat like hell and washing the silicon strap after a run takes 5 seconds under the tap and drying is equally fast Apart from some sports I wear the hook strap 24/7.

@fazel Yeah, I can see that now. When I ordered mine (February?) the waiting time was ~ 2-3 weeks.

@inkognito
Yep, thank you.

So in fact you’re using suunto’s pins, isn’t it?

inkognito

@sartoric Yes, indeed. Suunto’s pins seem much more solid. I was afraid of breaking the plastic watch casing where the strap is attached by using those thinner (and shorter on sides) pins that came with the hook strap.

Don’t worry, it would never happened you would have lost the watch faster

@Luís-Pinto Guys, i have contacted official retailer in Russia about availability of velcro straps ( only red ones are in store for now, no black). They convinced me Suunto is still producing it, next delivery is expected by Feb2021. So both black and red ( size M) will be available for purchase. Some gap of deliveries due to mass logistic issues esp. in China border. No lime color version ordered(((

@Atlen Thanks, I finally have found a retailer from Athens that i bought a black one.

Velcro strap is my favorite too, was lucky to get the black and red when they were in stock in Mexico , looking forward to buy the new ultra-soft microfiber strap if Suunto ever sells them separately

And today the new microfiber straps are out on Suunto store online , ordered mine already

@herlas let us know how do you like that.

The only problem is it hurt litle bit because it’s woven very tight compare to other nato strap or even the traverse alpha who is softer and more flexible.
But it give a very badass look !
It’s a tool but a nice one !

@g287-sf the one you have is not the new microfiber, it’s some kind of textile strap

@isazi yes it is but sometimes my approximative english don’t help me on the forum and i don’t correctly understand everything

This morning i made a custom Velcro Strap if it can interest anyone

@mff73
yes that’s true… but I would also like to surf more and get a bit away from being the pure beginner who is somewhere between whitewaterwarrior and only tiny green waves

@freeheeler honestly i’m in love with hiking in moutain but everytime 4h of cars. And beach is cool but in summer to many tourists, insane trafic and to hot for me, i’m closer to the polar bear than seal

In Europe, I’ve found this diving equipment vendor located in Netherlands selling them : https://www.sublub.nl/en/product/54705/suunto-24mm-athletic-6-loop-strap-kit-d5-red-m.html

I think they’re ordering it directly from official retailer when you order it yourself on the website. Mine got around a week/a week and half to arrive ! Velcro straps are indeed game changing !
