@sartoric customize-able price wont make you happy

sartoric

Yep, but I’m already done

At least there are some nice straps available now

aldnet

it’s a little offtopic of this topic but perhaps someone knows and I avoid to open a new one.

Do you know if SSSWHR straps are compatible with SSSWHR Baro ?

Because in the website straps from SSSWHR Baro are listed as compatible with SSSWHR, but visa versa no.

@aldnet yes, they are

sartoric

Baro -> Sport ?
Sport -> Baro ?
Or both ?

aldnet

@sartoric I understand @asdf123 is saying in both sides, isn’t it?

sartoric

I’m asking it because the BARO uses Quick release while sport doesn’t.
I guess Sport shouldn’t fit in Baro due to the shape of watch body, except the “special editions” ones (forest etc.)

aldnet

@sartoric yes, I understand.

In fact if I check the images:

Option 1:
http://www.suunto.com/es-ES/Productos/Correas/correas-para-suunto-spartan-sport-wrist-hr/Correa-de-silicona-para-Suunto-Spartan-Sport-Wrist-HR-Blue/
Seems not compatible

Option 2:
http://www.suunto.com/es-ES/Productos/Correas/correas-para-suunto-spartan-sport-wrist-hr/correa-de-silicona-para-suunto-spartan-sport-wrist-hr-forest-copper/
Seems compatible

Native Baro Strap:

Option 2 and Native one are very similiar, let’s see if @asdf123 could resolve our doubt.

I’ve purchased a couple of 24mm “regular” watch straps for my SSWHRBaro, and they fit fine. I did have to purchase stronger “pins”, but that was no problem. I’ve got a Carbon Fiber one, and a couple of woven nylon bands.

@oeagleo
I tried an Archer’s one.
The band itself was well made, but the pins were almost useless. I didn’t want to spend extra money for pins, so I returned it (amazon).

What did you buy ?

aldnet

In my case I’m speaking about official ones

I bought some “regular” pins, that weren’t quick disconnect, and they work fine, and then decided I would like the real quick disconnect ones so I ordered these. They havent come in yet, but by the measurements, they seem to be quite robust.

@oeagleo how you wil get to the release pin without making hole in the strap?

oeagleo

@SlaSh On the straps without the “hole”, I use the “regular” pins for the strap. A long time ago, I bought a “watchmakers repair kit” from E-bay, and it has a little forked tool to move the pins to remove them. Almost as easy as the quick release, so it’s no problem for me.

SlaSh

@oeagleo so what is the point to buy quick release pins if you will use tools for removal of them?

oeagleo

@slash I use the quick release pins on straps designed for them, otherwise, if I like a band that is the non-quick release, say ostrich leather, or carbon fiber, something that’s not offered in quick release, I have the tools to remove the band if necessary. Just makes it easier to change more bands, is all. Either way, I’m good.
