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/

@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.

@Tami999 there is orange with white label.
It just says “Mammut” on it

@Egika but this one is quite expensive…but that’s fair enought, you get a free watch when you buy it

Wosh to have it. Athletic 5 yellow/white is muvh more comfortable (mammut seems like same type) but orange is my fav. -
@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).
