Suunto Core Nylon Band

This is a great watch band for the Suunto Black Core Watch. This is an issue with the original watch band and the replacements. The rubber wears out quickly and rips. Hate that. I decided to try a new type of band, and this new band is great. PROS Easy to install Comfortable Easily Adjustable Great quality CONS The band rings move and adjust. For me, this is a slight inconvenience because I am constantly adjusting them back to position. BUT...it enables you to adjust the band rings to meet your needs. The band rings are metal. Again, not a huge issue, BUT if you are military or LE, be careful. They make noise and can clink. Noise discipline. I also suspect that paint will ultimately wear in time Otherwise, this is a great choice for this watch and highly recommend it over the plastic ones!

My original plastic strap broke on my Suunto Core Black. I could not see paying over $60 for another OEM one that would undoubtedly do the same thing. I looked at just getting an adapter to use a NATO strap on it. But they alone were more than this kit. I got the “tan” one. It is a darker material than the photos show, a little towards the khaki side with a slight greet tint. It was a little fiddly to put on, but that’s the nature of the beast for this type of screwed on strap. It’s comfortable, looks great. Much more comfortable than the sweaty plastic original. Someone commented that the material was too thin. I don’t think so at all. It is pretty standard thickness for a NATO. In fact, thicker than some NATO straps for other watches I own. Buckles and keepers appear well made. The mounting screws might could be made a little beefier, but maybe they wouldn’t fit if they were. All in all, even if the strap fails, you have gotten adapters for less than adapter alone. Give this one a shot if you have a Suunto Core.

I actually bought this band because the original was always breaking. I am an active person both in the gym and outdoors. The band is in near perfect condition after nearly 6 months of use. It is great in forms of function and being durable as wear and tear. It still almost seems brand new. The con: This band soaks up all sorts of liquids, to include sweat. After a couple of workouts the band starting to stink, so every 2 weeks or so I have a routine where I soak the band and watch in oxyclean for about an hour, wash with a detergent and rinse. conclusion: Its helpful, but the band isn't broken, frayed or even showing signs of wear. I would recommend to an everyday user instead of the elastic / rubber stock that comes on some watches.

Great band

As advertised. Very satisfied with the product.

The loops on my Suunto Core had both broken off, and replacement ones were around $10. For a couple dollars more, I could get this Nato style band, which even came with the screwdrivers to replace the band. The bonus is that this band is way more comfortable than the original rubber band that came with the Core, and a heck of a lot more elegant. I wear my loose, so I have not seen any wearing of the holes, as others have reported. I could not ask for more. 1 YEAR UPDATE: Nov. 2020 Well, the good thing is that the strap still works. The bad news is that the hole I use is stretched out and the strap has absorbed my sweat (I wear it cycling) and has developed that distinct smell of nylon not treated with odor resistance. I suppose one year is not "bad" but I prefer to have things that last a bit longer.

Perfect fit to Suunto Vector. Great quality, nicely flexible, durable, adequate length.

Like so many Suunto Core owners, I finally had to replace the original band after it failed. I knew I wanted a NATO style band, and this product had the most reviews so I figured I would give it a shot. I cannot say much about the band. I like the look of it. The feel is what to be expected. Not the highest quality but it was what I expected. I noticed a little bit of the finish on the strap retainer started to go, but it was likely from rubbing up against stuff. I replaced the watch band on a Saturday evening. The process was a little frustrating. It felt like the hardware I received may have been too short, but after fighting with it for awhile the thread finally caught, and the screw began to seat. I snugged it up being mindful not to crank down on it and shear the threads, but enough to ensure that it shouldn't back out, or so I thought. I got to enjoy the band for one week. That's it. 8 days later on a Sunday morning, I was walking along and I felt the watch give way from my wrist. I picked it up off the floor and that's when I noticed the screw had backed itself out. I looked around my immediate area and tried retracing my footsteps to find the missing screw, but to no avail. Not sure what to do at this point. Do I buy another one and apply Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 to the threads? Do I try another brand? Do I go with Suunto knowing I will likely have to replace the band yet again. I never thought a watch band would give me so many issues, but here we are.

si quedo exelente y me gusto recomendable al 100%

Really pleaseed with the purchase arrives a day early and is great, nice quality and colour easy to install

Buen producto calidad-precio

Great quality product - the second i've owned Will keep purchasing.

After the original material band wore off, I decided to go with this silicon band - could not be happier. It is good quality, pleasant to wear - even more than original, material one. Installation is a bit finicky with small screws, but could be accomplished within 10 minutes. Definitely recommending this product.
