Textile strap on Vertical?
-
@thanasis I have that feeling but it’s more important to have valuable data in the runs than the strap. Best looking velcro straps, are probably Coros ones.
-
I’m using the 22mm Coros strap with my S9Peak and I’m really happy with it. I think the Vertical uses the same 22mm straps. Would have bought a Suunto strap but they are not available where I live.

Coros Pace 3’s straps seems a bit better for me, without the plastic thing that cover the metal bars.
Amazfit’s nylon straps look pretty nice too but Coros ones are ultralight.
Both brands sell the nylon straps at the same price. -
@dreamer_ thanks,I only knew about the model I have. I looked now and there’s a bunch of new straps from Coros. They must have launched them with the Apex3. Now I want this yellow one: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1672/6075/products/COROS22mmNylonBand-Yellow-APEX2Pro_928x928.png?v=1716824942

@aligigi I use it with the blue on my race
Looks nice
not huge fan of the plastic however but it’s ok for the price -
@aligigi Have a look at this strap: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0650/2059/2396/files/PACE3NylonBand-Emma.png?v=1715369112
For me it looks a lot better without the plastic endings. You need to like the colour though

yep the best ever! I’ve the fast lane model and it’s available right now

Hi, I have a Suunto Spartan Ultra and I’m curious if I can use a velcro strap, e.g. the one from the Coros Apex 3 with my SSU? It seems to have a proprietary connector and I am not an experienced tinkerer.
-
Maybe just for thought, what if you tried nylon instead of a textile belt. It fits perfectly, is easy to maintain, and there are no nasty Velcros.
in bad weather, I have the original silicone strap, for longer hikes, nylon (https://www.thewatchsteward.com/22mm-straps.html) -
@Mouse-Cruiser I hate velcro on clothes or backpacks but on the watchstrap it does not bother me, also in this case it helps getting the exact fit for the watch so for me it’s worth it.
-
Hi,
Do these velcro straps also helps to prevent that the sharp corner of the strap holders of the watch sometimes slightly cuts your skin on your wrist knuckle?
-
@cjanevate . Does the fast lane have a similar texture as the texture of the black one? I had the black (an strap that weights 7g) but have not seen the other ones. I’m thinking in the Emma Bates.
I hope Suunto can make similar ones. I like the Sand strap and I can’t find a similar nylon one
And it’s a good idea. Nylon is light, It makes a good fit of the watch and helps a lot to have better WHR metrics -
@dreamer_ more or less. I chose the fast track because there’s no plastic end so it is less likely to come loose.

@cjanevate today I bought a Coros Pace 3 nylon band for 30 bucks on Amazon (original band, from Coros), fits the Vertical perfectly and it’s very comfortable. I don’t get why Suunto does not make them anymore, I owned two for my S9B.

Can you show which one ?
-
@thanasis sure, it looks good with the Vertical titanium.
-
@isazi best nylon strap for the best watch of the market
. I have tried several clones but none feels like the Coros one (ultra light with only 7g and very confortable).Your strap is the model I had in the Pace 3. It does look like it was designed for the Vertical. Nice choice

cool, it’s incredibly good, the most breathable I’ve ever tried.
-
I bought the Coros Pace 3 Emma Bates strap but I don’t like the texture much. It feels like all those chinese straps but being this one a lot more expensive. I think the stock black one is much better.
-
I’m returning this strap. The quality is ok but there are many similar straps and a lot cheaper. They did not the same job as with the black one, which feels totally different
