          Velcro. Has its drawbacks such as bike mounting and putting on, but feels the best on skin.

          Also I think it provides the best ohr especially if you wear the watch on the “inside” of the arm (eg due to tattoos )

            @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks. Inside? What about GPS connection? No Problem? I will try, as soon as my VECRO arrives…

                @isazi you can get an alert by mail on the page. So you have better chances to get it, when it is available again… 🙂

                  @mountainChris I use stryd for pace. GPS is more than acceptable for me. I don’t go chartograph all the time around my neighborhood.

                  I am relocated at Netherlands that I would sucrifise any any GPS accuracy (provided pace etc comes from stryd) for convinience or as well, way of checking data.

                  Inner side of the arm let’s you look less at your watch as well.

                  All this is very personal as you understand and by far objective.

                    @Brad_Olwin So to clarify, straps for the Spartan will also fit the S9’s?

                        SSS WHR BARO and S9 use both quick release strap

                        SSS non BARO has “normal” strap

                          @sartoric I just wasn’t 100% sure that the strap dimensions were the same for the Spartan and the S9. Gives a lot more choices if they are 😊

                            anyway straps should be interchangeable

                              For me textile and athletic are the best

                              Now that it is hot this is perfect

                                I have not taken it off since a pair moons ago when I bought it when it came out.
                                So far, I am surprised with this level of comfort without any noticeable wear.

                                I have each and every (Compatible to S9B) series of Suunto straps including leather textile all silicone and diving straps (12 with original) and for the comfort this tops them all.

                                Beside all day use there is very little wear when cycling or trail running. Washing it get rids of dust and sweat.

                                Wear wise I would rate leather one on the bottom, since first week it had signs of wear at the particular hole where I wear it. But this typical is with all leather bands.
                                The rest of bands show no signs of wear after a proper toothbrush cleaning.

                                What I did notice though is that since I bought velcro, I stopped switching between bands all together, even on rainy days. It dries quickly as surface area is large and material seems hydrophobic.

                                  If there are people interested, the black velcro strap seems to be available (at least in the Netherlands, I checked only the Dutch website) from Suunto again.

                                    Got it (red loop)! Just arrived! This strap is sooo cool!!! Love it. First impression very positiv. I can’t wait to run with it… Watch feels also way lighter… Sooo comfortable…

                                    need more… The lime one is not for sale?

                                    Bravo SUUNTO! More vecro loops…

                                        @isazi Think you will be satisfied. Such a high quality. I can imagine that this will also improve WHR further. Watch can be adjusted very good… Till now I had the S9 Baro standard strap, wich is a little big for my small wrists… Watch has now only 61 gramms 😁

                                          Back from trail running. Wow. This strap is highly recommended!!! Heart rate improved, for me very reliable and lightweight… for me at the moment no reason for a belt… I do not wear anything else anymore and will order 2 as reserve…

                                          I feel the vibration a little bit better…

                                            @mountainChris I recently got a Suunto 9 with the velcro lime/black strap. I thought I’d prefer a silicone strap so got one in black. Having tried both the velcro strap is so much better, WHR seems spot on, really comfortable when running and far less bounce than with the silicone. Only worry about the velcro strap is getting it dirty!
