Could someone upload a photo of how the strap fastening works?
I use my watch on the bike handlebars and want to check how easy it is to attach!
Not so easy to attach to a handle bar (if you cannot slide it on from the side).

@Egika thank you. Yes not ideal. Owe well
️ I’ll stick to Hemsut velcro straps from Amazon 🥺 -
@6iovanni Have you compared step counts on walking activities, by any chance? I think it’s counting a bit low. It seems okay on runs, so maybe arm movement is the important factor. I’m comparing it to my Suunto 7, which (to me) seems a very accurate step counter (among other excellent things).
I also think that the power saving battery mode leaves the screen too dark to see outdoors. And the lap vibration is a bit weak.
Otherwise, love this watch. Looks great. (Lime green. UK.)

I don’t use steps much as a reference. However, I took some midday walks during the break and the values seem quite reasonable. An underestimate is still preferable to account for false movements that generate steps…

I have yet to use PS, so I can’t say (btw I’ve brightness set to low…) . For me, the vibrations are okay.
love this watch. Looks great.

Just wondering, how does the nylon strap handle beach environment with salt water.
I got the black nylon strap for the Race and I’m going on a holiday to Elba island for few weeks. Should I change the silicon strap when going to the beach. -
Me and my family have been using the strap during swimming and also kite boarding activities.
It is pretty fast drying - just wear it and maybe shower with it afterwards to remove salt.
No issues at all. -

(I mounted reverse to you)
I did it that way as I’m used to the Apple like sport loop straps for years. If you look through the photos on the ordering page for the different colors you see that they wear it either way.
I wonder what way it is safer to use although I haven’t had experienced accidental opening the velcro, yet.

for who maybe interested, black velcro straps are finally on stock again

@Stefano-M64 Hi, could you provide information on which country’s website? I’m still waiting for restocking in my country (Spain).
-
@Elmiuel it was on the Italian website, but now they’re out of stock again. I ordered mine yesterday night at about 4:00, I wasn’t sleeping…
Some days ago, for curiosity I checked in several European websites and they where it off stock everywhere, likely the black one is the most popular (?) -
@Stefano-M64 Thanks!!! I’m afraid the black and its price make it very attractive

Black version just arrived to me today morning! Its super comfortable and looks great, but Iam just the one that smaller (S+M) strap is too short, and second one from pack (M+L) is too big, and “buckle” hits my bezel when tight enough? Something between these two lenghts would be perfect. Iam using Suunto Race maybe thats why. With Suunto Race S maybe (S+M) would perfect for me.
