Which is your favourite S9 strap?

@halajos just search on aliexpress, there is a lot. Delivery about 3 weeks.

I have it since 3 weeks, ran a lot, no problem. Maybe the same thing with the suunto one, after the shower it stay wet about 1/2 hour.

Are the spring bars shorter and spring bar heads thinner than original ones?

@prenj Usually they are thinner and shorter.

A pro tip: check eBay or some similar market place and look for genuine Suunto silicone straps. Buy a pair, cut them with a sharp knife and take the pins. That’s what I did; I seem to get a nasty rash from silicone straps anyway…

I bought one from aliexpress, but pins were thinner and shorter than original ones. I don’t trust them.

ink357

@prenj unlucky you are, mine are exactly the same, just leave my silicon strap and put the new one

Prenj

@ink357 can you share a link of the one you bought?

@herlas Looks nice! Pin can be removed I guess because the short band isn’t displayed with one?

herlas

@surfboomerang I think so, still deciding if that blue is worth buying

Hi guys. Do you know if and where can I find the MERCEDES-BENZ EQ band for the s9? That is the white/black one? I am in Germany (https://www.suunto.com/de-de/Produkte/Sportuhren/suunto-9-baro/suunto-9-baro-titanium-mercedes-benz-eq-formula-e-team-edition/)

@hristijan-petreski Not the same quality, for sure (originals are smoother, I can say), but very similar: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B093YP4QQF/ref=twister_B093YQTY49?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1.
I am very happy with this one: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B089738KPR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I guess that they are not difficult to find in Amazon.de

EzioAuditore

@efejota Thank you I too prefer the originals and it seems that i can buy the white one and remove the buckle from the black one manually.

@prenj sorry for my late answer, this is this one: https://m.fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002290248005.html?browser_id=98d111536b57498e99824ac0f7edb0d9&aff_trace_key=0e71dc0f33f6426a9f465f262d451b50-1619714021346-04286-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=br8vgxy9af4cavh71799370fd821e0c57dcc16bd6e&gclid=&imgsrc=ae01.alicdn.com%2Fkf%2FH87ba0c9bf58148bfa1b0f09b13da5196Z.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg

Have it since 1,5 month and nothing wrong to say

Egika

@ink357 and the pins are Suunto size?

Prenj

@ink357 great. Thanks.

@Egika there is a picture where it says they are special fat pins for Suunto, so I guess that’s it. I’ll order one to see.

Or not. AliExpress shipping rates are insane lately. $47.71 lol

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy the new strap retaining pin? (Suunto 9 peak) that would be perfect for my Suunto 9 silicone fitness strap.

isazi

@minimark069 I don’t know of they sell pins on their own, but they sell the new straps also for the S9 I believe.

isazi

I actually hope they will make the velcro strap for the Peak too, and in different colors!
