@freeheeler what mount is that on your bars for I’m assuming is a light? Is that the Suunto watch mount?
-
Would anyone be able to compare the feel of the different watch straps available from Suunto right now? I have a S9PP with the Ocean Blue (Athletic 3 Silicone Strap) that it comes with, but I find it a little stiff and less comfortable compared to the straps from my previous Suunto watches.
Are the current silicone straps all basically the same in terms of feel? Or are there significant differences? Are the urban or vertical ones softer? I would like to try the microfiber one but the blue has been out of stock for a while.
Thanks - I appreciate any input!

my opinion: I have worn my friend’s Race and the strap is much more comfortable than the ones available on the suunto store. Unfortunately, it is not yet available. The microfiber one is also very comfortable but it’s a sort of “meh” when used for activities

@Greennorth I have been using almost all kind of models with my S9B (microfiber, leather, nylon, silicone…) and now just 3 different ones with my SV (original SV ones : Green Forest/Orange/Lime/black, Athletics 5 suunto branded - which seems similar to Athletics 3, and an Urban 4).
Among all, the Athetics 5 is the softer to me.
It seems like @robis said that the SR strap is better. I wait for it.I didn’t got a microfiber again because I wasn’t convinced with it on my S9B : maybe the watch was too heavier and bulky for it, and it got durty very fast. I’d never used it for training.
[@GiPFELKiND I posted you a pm with the link ; but I don’t promiss you it will be “bug free” if you order it !!

@isazi it can (mp)

@robis and @Tieutieu Thank you! That is helpful. I’ll maybe wait to see if the Race strap comes out.

I was looking for new strap since my Orange Canyon is a bit worn. I like “Athletic 5” yellow and pearl white, and wanted to decide to take one of them, but found there’s version for ambassadors, like here posted with red triangle. Do we know if its gonna be released for everyone? Like Baro strap can be bought nowadays. If not I’ll choose one of these without that little Suunto mark

Well I must say I ordered both, arrived yesterday - couldn’t decide. White and Lime (this one is great). I must say quality for this high (!) price is great. Both are very comfortable and soft. I wonder if its better quality than standard Vertical strap (I got Orange Canyon). I checked one month Suunto 9PP black strap and my 0.5 year orange Vertical straps and both are much different in touch. I dont know if they are just worn by wearing, water, sweat and washing, but I dont remember them so nice as brand new. Iam very glad
-
@Tami999 As you I have the Canyon (never used), the lime (used from day one (two months ago) and since two days I’m using the the white one with my SV Ti, these bands are very nice. The original one, the Canyon, look thinner and less robust than the Athletic 5 ones.
-
@Tami999 the original Vertical bands (the ones you get with the watch) and these Suunto branded ones are different technology and design.

Sadly not yet in the French Suunto web shop…
And no Race S also… -
@Mi_chael Yesterday it was displayed but not available yet. This morning it’s not visible anymore.
Also : does we know if the SR straps will be sold someday ? It’s more confortable than my original SV strap. But I never saw it on sale… -

Have also not seen them yet.
Regarding comfort and silicone straps: I like these ones best as they are soft and the most flexible available: https://www.suunto.com/de-de/Produkte/Armbander/suunto-22mm-athletic-5-silicone--strap/suunto-22mm-athletic-5-silicone-strap-lemon-yellow-sm/
Better than the standard SV or SR straps.t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal, Race S All Black, Race S Titanium Canary

@Egika I’ve wanted one for ages but it’s a ludicrous amount of money for a watch strap that I just couldn’t justify, it’s my birthday this Saturday so I’ve been leaving the below page open on my laptop for weeks now
Hopefully my wife took the hint & got me a white one
-
@Egika I have 2 of those. I agree about the confort but for my wrist size, I feel it either a bit too tight or a bit too loose. I have tried the SV strap of a friend on my SV and it felt very good

Better than the standard SV or SR straps.Yup I agree. Iits more soft than standard SV one. Sadly there’s no Orange with white label. I dont like this Lava Red. New Athletic 6 is orange but too bad its with fading to purple + with powder. Not my style :P.

Same here! I cant find perfect size in this one. Sometimes its too tight and sometimes too loose. I just need to wear it higher or lower compared to standard SV one.
