Which is your favourite S9 strap?
-
Textile strap, red. Breathable, to a point.
-
@Brad_Olwin Again available! Bought!
-
@mountainChris itās 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 āinsideā 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 arrivesā¦

Not that much inside ā¦
-
@isazi you can get an alert by mail on the page. So you have better chances to get it, when it is available againā¦

@mountainChris I use stryd for pace. GPS is more than acceptable for me. I donāt 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 letās 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 S9ās?
SV Titanium Solar Forest

@lexterm77 How long do you find the velcro lasts?

SSS WHR BARO and S9 use both quick release strap
SSS non BARO has ānormalā strap
-
@sartoric I just wasnāt 100% sure that the strap dimensions were the same for the Spartan and the S9. Gives a lot more choices if they are
-
anyway straps should be interchangeable
-
For me textile and athletic are the best
Now that it is hot this is perfect

I have not taken it off since a pair moons ago when I bought it when it came out.
So far, I am surprised with this level of comfort without any noticeable wear.I have each and every (Compatible to S9B) series of Suunto straps including leather textile all silicone and diving straps (12 with original) and for the comfort this tops them all.
Beside all day use there is very little wear when cycling or trail running. Washing it get rids of dust and sweat.
Wear wise I would rate leather one on the bottom, since first week it had signs of wear at the particular hole where I wear it. But this typical is with all leather bands.
The rest of bands show no signs of wear after a proper toothbrush cleaning.What I did notice though is that since I bought velcro, I stopped switching between bands all together, even on rainy days. It dries quickly as surface area is large and material seems hydrophobic.
-
If there are people interested, the black velcro strap seems to be available (at least in the Netherlands, I checked only the Dutch website) from Suunto again.

@Brad_Olwin @isazi @lexterm77 @Matthew-Robertson @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Got it (red loop)! Just arrived! This strap is sooo cool!!! Love it. First impression very positiv. I canāt wait to run with itā¦ Watch feels also way lighterā¦ Sooo comfortableā¦need moreā¦ The lime one is not for sale?
Bravo SUUNTO! More vecro loopsā¦
-
@mountainChris I ordered a black one, should arrive tomorrow from Finland
-
@isazi Think you will be satisfied. Such a high quality. I can imagine that this will also improve WHR further. Watch can be adjusted very goodā¦ Till now I had the S9 Baro standard strap, wich is a little big for my small wristsā¦ Watch has now only 61 gramms
-
Back from trail running. Wow. This strap is highly recommended!!! Heart rate improved, for me very reliable and lightweightā¦ for me at the moment no reason for a beltā¦ I do not wear anything else anymore and will order 2 as reserveā¦
I feel the vibration a little bit betterā¦
