Which is your favourite S9 strap?

isazi

@mountainChris as you, my wrist is small and the standard style with the fixed angles does not fit me well, so I bought few third-parties standard silicone straps and I use those.
I am also interested in the textile strap, but never tried it.

@mountainChris This! https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Products/Straps/suunto-24mm-athletic-6-loop-textile-strap/suunto-24mm-athletic-6-loop-textile-strap-red-size-m/

@Brad_Olwin I need it. Also ultra light. The red one and the black one. Unfortunately both not available now. Hope soon. Order it with a new wrist belt. Can’t wait…

@Brad_Olwin I wear my S9 as my only watch everytime. Do you also wear the VECRO strap not during sports? Seems like it is very comfortable. Do you also know this one for non-sports?

Maybe I order it too or I take a 2nd VECRO strap…

I’ve got the redbull version of this strap and find it comfortable for sports and casual use.
the only drawback on “textile” straps is that they soak a bit water…
so take it off before the shower unless you don’t mind

The Velcro strap is by far the most comfortable way for me to wear my Suunto 9 Baro. The ability to “fine tune” the fit is really great when i account for changes in the circumference of my arm from hydration, temperature, and selected activity type.

My favourite strap was an orange one I had for my old S9, just can’t remember where I got it from. It was a good fitting and good quality silicone one, looked great against the black of the S9

The S9 I have now is the gold version, any suggestions as to what colour works well with that model? Thanks in advance

@mountainChris No, I do not have a textile strap. For me, I don’t see advantages over a silicone strap.

Textile strap, red. Breathable, to a point.

@Brad_Olwin Again available! Bought!

@mountainChris it’s again out of stock, you got the last one

Velcro. Has its drawbacks such as bike mounting and putting on, but feels the best on skin.

Also I think it provides the best ohr especially if you wear the watch on the “inside” of the arm (eg due to tattoos )

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks. Inside? What about GPS connection? No Problem? I will try, as soon as my VECRO arrives…

Not that much inside …

@isazi you can get an alert by mail on the page. So you have better chances to get it, when it is available again…

@mountainChris I use stryd for pace. GPS is more than acceptable for me. I don’t go chartograph all the time around my neighborhood.

I am relocated at Netherlands that I would sucrifise any any GPS accuracy (provided pace etc comes from stryd) for convinience or as well, way of checking data.

Inner side of the arm let’s you look less at your watch as well.

All this is very personal as you understand and by far objective.

@Brad_Olwin So to clarify, straps for the Spartan will also fit the S9’s?

@lexterm77 How long do you find the velcro lasts?

SSS WHR BARO and S9 use both quick release strap

SSS non BARO has “normal” strap

@sartoric I just wasn’t 100% sure that the strap dimensions were the same for the Spartan and the S9. Gives a lot more choices if they are
