    @craigeggleton Looks good! I just noticed that Coros got rid of the plastic connectors on the nylon bands for the Pace 3.

    Looks like there’s a quick release built into the one end and some sort of new finger nail release system on the other. They’ve got a video showing how it works.

    You could still easily lose that spring bar if you’re swapping it out regularly, but I prefer the look and feel without the additional plastic things. Perhaps I’ll give one a try, but $30 for a nylon band is steep for me since I’m used to getting 3 knock-offs for $10!

      I am tempted to buy a Velcro strap, but I am also tempted to buy a Suunto microfiber strap, so how about the latter? Pro & Cons? I don’t sweat much and it looks really comfortable.

        I’ve finished my testing and the clear winner for me (fixed indentation issue and most comfortable band) goes to the Garmin Ultrfit

          @craigeggleton what are the springbars you use with the Ultrafit band?

            I used it with my S9b.
            Very confortable to wear, but finally didn’t used it for sports, only for everyday wear.
            I found that it had to be tightened too much for sports, and also got dirty and sweaty too quickly.
            Didn’t bought it for my SV.

                I use the microfiber strap on my 9PP for daily life, looks good, very comfortable, HR reading is okayish for my bike commute
                My only gripe is that the things that hold the extra band to the side are very easy to loose and I already lost one 😞

                  Wanted to try a blue one…
                  Nice to wear. Plastic connectors not very nice.
                  Promise I’ll buy plenty of Suunto stuff to make me forgiven for this crime of lèse-majesté ! 😁

                  Hope having resized the picture to cut the brand name makes me already « half forgiven » !

                    Not to hijack this thread too much but has anyone tried a leather strap with the race?

                    Are the peak ones suitable? https://www.suunto.com/en-nl/Products/Straps/suunto-22mm-urban-6-leather-strap/suunto-22mm-urban-6-leather-strap-all-black-m/

                    Also open to other suggestions/brands

                      Coros strap from decathlon. Tad cheaper than the Garmin version and, since I’ve swapped it with the Suunto strap, I’ve hardly noticed it.

                          Thanks to the interesting posts, I came across the COROS PACE 3 Nylon Band and I’m delighted. Compared to i.e. LYYLTX, which I have also tried, the Coros Band is much more comfortable and breathable. In addition, the low weight of the Coros Band makes my Race Titanium somewhat lighter and more competitive…

                            @zucchero the weight of an FR965 😊 . Impressive

                            I had the Pace 3, that strap is very good. Amazfit nylon straps are pretty nice too.

                              @duffman19 I open a very old subject but thank you for your recommandation.
                              I tried today a new nylon coros pace 3 on my vertical watch and it fit perfectly. I tried so much nylon band before (Amazon, garmin ultra fit 2 etc…) but today i find the perfect for my watch.
                              Just a point to know before to buy: you have to buy bars because Coros give you only the strap with one side integrated bar. The other one need to be fix with an additional bar (need to buy before).
                              Thanks Guy for your post !

                                in the Coros Pace 3 I bought, three additional bars were within the package, “hidden” inside a small box

                                  @Jer075 In July last year I bought the same Coros strap as the one in the last pic posted above our posts. The strap came packed with one pin in it and three more, so I used one more pin from the box the for the other lug and two spare ones left. I wore the strap every day since October till mid January and stopped wearing it cause it got worn off - the sticky part (I don’t know the right word in English). They replaced it for me. But I bought a Garmin nylon strap for which I use the pins from the Coros strap box and this strap feels way more comfortable and with better quality.

                                        Another option is to use Abanen Hook and Loop nylon strap. It is available on Amazon. It is similar to Garmin Ultrafit strap but less expensive. It works quite well with my Race S.

                                        It comes without spring bars which you need to buy separately. I recommend the Barton brand bars - they are a bit thicker and fit Suunto watches well.
