@Tami999 just get it with the watch and sell the watch with you current strap

Yeah I thought about it but dont want to freeze my money and play in selling this

@fluca I second that…I love the logical and uncomplicated but useful SR feature set, that’s one reason I moved away from Garmin Forerunners. For my use, SR has almost everything I need and very little that I don’t.

So the wife came good & got me a white Athletic 5 strap however there aren’t as many adjustment holes as the original strap so as @Tieutieu found it’s either a little too loose or a little too tight for me.

Can anyone who has one advise whether it ‘stretches’ a bit over time if I continue to wear it in the too tight hole or will my hand fall off due to restricted blood flow ?

@Mattg576 they probably stretch a bit with time, I would actually try to wear it comfortably during the day, and tighter during activity, and see how it goes

@Mattg576 Only way is loose strap + get it higher or tight and wear it lower. :D.
I noticed that Athletic 5 is much softer for skin than original SV, even over time, but SV original one is much easier to find good spot on hand.

@Mattg576
I’ve used an Athletic 5 strap for about 5 months and it doesn’t seem to have stretched. Like you, I find it’s either a bit loose or a bit tight. I wear it in the tighter hole because I don’t like the watch bouncing around and don’t notice after a short while.
The best Suunto strap I’ve had for comfort, hole spacing and stretch was the Athletic 1 that came with the 9 Peak. But it’s only available in relatively subtle colours, pink excepted.

@MKPotts Thanks for that, I’ve also been going with the tighter hole & as yet my hand hasn’t fallen off. I’ve started doing wrist rotations with dumbbells to try & bulk up to the next hole LOL

TBH I found the original Race strap really comfortable & could adjust it perfectly for my wrist (just a bit boring in plain black).

Any idea why Race 1 strap is probably only one that is not sold separately? Used 9P for a short time, 9PP, Vertical Ti Solar, Race 1 Ti and now Race 2 Ti, and Race 1 Ti strap was most comfortable silicone I’ve used. I’ve used default Race 2 strap + Run’s textile, but I like silicone becouse its easy & fast to clean after training, and pretty comfortable. Its probably only watch that can be bought only with watch. Its so scretchy and better than R2. So good i kept R1 Ti strap when I sold this watch, but its gettin worn out.

@fluca totally agree!

@Tami999 said in Suunto wristband:

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

Dear All, any chance or update or the above?
I would love to get this …
