Suunto Race 2 + Coros nylon strap
-
@TrailEyes Thanks to the nylon strap that I use I’ve never put in the lugs the stock sage strap of my V2. And because the watch is titanium, the weight goes down well under 60 g. Kind of don’t feel it on my wrist. So comfy.

I’d really like to see Suunto offer a proper, high-quality nylon strap themselves.
Athletic 7? Maybe not high-quality enough?
the ATH7 are nice but too thin in my opinion, especially for heavier models (e.g. Race), the Coros from this point of view are better having a thicker nylon tissue. The only drawback of the Coros ones is that they can be too short for people with big hands

Maybe I’m not very sensible to these things, but for me Suunto’s nylon straps work perfectly, the athletic 7 one.
I use them with a SVTS for all my trainings and races. I have used them in the swimming pool and in the sea too. The watch feels very secure too, in my opinion.
They are very comfortable and dry ver quickly, 10/15 minutes and they are dry, and I sweat a lot. After my activities I always rinse the watch and the strap, with cold water, no soap.
I have all the 4 colors, the “white” one gets dirty easily but the other ones are quite ok in this regard, even the yellow one.
The nautic one looks very nice, does it come in two sizes too? -
I personally like Suunto’s nylon bands, I have multiple colors and switch them up if one is wet, and so on. I had also bands from Coros, and I am not a fan. I don’t like the plastic pieces which connect to the springs, and find them too short. Material quality is good. Would love to order the Nautic one, but cannot justify about 50€ for a nylon band.

@isazi can you share some pictures of the way you attach the strap? I don’t understand how to mount it with the two pins. I have try a way to do it but I find it is not very practical…

@isazi Do you maybe have the weight of the Nautic S strap? I want to add it to the list
Race S
Vertical Titanium Solar
Ambit3 Vertical

By the way, I just connect my brain and find the good way to do!! Both velcros are not on the same face but one beneath the strap and the other above.

@VoiGAS 61g for Vertical 2 Ti + Nautic S strap
-
@v.sacre Really? Wow, then its the exact same weight like the Athletic7 Strap which doesn’t look as robust as the Nautic S.
I need one -
@isazi can you share some pictures of the way you attach the strap? I don’t understand how to mount it with the two pins.
It is attached exactly the same way as Garmin Ultrafit or Abanen Hook and Loop strap. You can see an example here:

@sky-runner yes exactly. I don’t know why I first tried to put both velcros on the same face …

@v.sacre sorry I did not see this message, but you managed anyway
