Why there's no Race 1 strap?
-
Hey.
I have some Suunto straps, Race 2 Ti black, blue, Yellow and white athletic 5 (with Suunto mark), Mammut edititon of Vertical and… Race 1 Titanium strap. I just digged my old Race 1 strap (I sold watch but kept strap). I forgot how comfortable it is. Its super elastic (most elastic silicone strap of Suunto or I ever used). I wonder why it was never released separately. We can get Vertical, Vertical 2, Race 2 strap, 9 Peak) but no Race 1. I changed Ttitanium pin and buckle for black (took from different Suunto) and match perfect. I plan to use it until it gets damage, but I use it 2 days (forgot about it since sold Race 1) and Its soo good. For example Race 2 strap is probably worst silicone i ever used.What do You think why we got practically every Suunto strap for sale, but no Race1?

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…

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 -
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
