@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!

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 … -
@Argonaut330 AFAIK only for Ambassadors and no longer produced (second hand knowledge for the last so not definitive).
-
@Brad_Olwin thanks…Will have to look for second hand now ;]

I was looking for some time but with no effect. You need to ask ambassadors

@GiPFELKiND Hong Kong;)

@lauser Same here - they irritate my skin, and the buckle is too protrusive.
It would be better if they rounded off the sides like the Apple Watch strap as well as a similar pin design that doesn’t stick out.
I’m loving my nylon band though apart from the poorly glued plastic tab at the end (it’s come off a few times).

Nice! From rare Suunto straps, except these two You posted, I’ve seen also François D’ Haene strap (probably long time ago limited), Suunto Ambassador (white Athletic 5 but with Red triangle
) and also Black version (cant find google photo). I’ve seen black version with red triangle , and I believe Brad Olwin from this forum posted it once on his hand (I may be wrong about person, I think it was Him but don’t want to misled, it was long time ago!!!) ~Sorry Brad!
