Could someone upload a photo of how the strap fastening works?

I use my watch on the bike handlebars and want to check how easy it is to attach!

Not so easy to attach to a handle bar (if you cannot slide it on from the side).

@Egika thank you. Yes not ideal. Owe well‍️ I’ll stick to Hemsut velcro straps from Amazon 🥺

@6iovanni Have you compared step counts on walking activities, by any chance? I think it’s counting a bit low. It seems okay on runs, so maybe arm movement is the important factor. I’m comparing it to my Suunto 7, which (to me) seems a very accurate step counter (among other excellent things).

I also think that the power saving battery mode leaves the screen too dark to see outdoors. And the lap vibration is a bit weak.

Otherwise, love this watch. Looks great. (Lime green. UK.)

I don’t use steps much as a reference. However, I took some midday walks during the break and the values seem quite reasonable. An underestimate is still preferable to account for false movements that generate steps…

I have yet to use PS, so I can’t say (btw I’ve brightness set to low…) . For me, the vibrations are okay.

love this watch. Looks great.

Just wondering, how does the nylon strap handle beach environment with salt water.
I got the black nylon strap for the Race and I’m going on a holiday to Elba island for few weeks. Should I change the silicon strap when going to the beach.

Me and my family have been using the strap during swimming and also kite boarding activities.
It is pretty fast drying - just wear it and maybe shower with it afterwards to remove salt.
No issues at all.
