Our Review of the Suunto Replacement Strap - Observer
Available in Elastomer, Stainless Steel, and Titanium. Note: Stainless Steel and Titanium straps are still Elastomer with links on the outside of the strap - only elastomer will be in contact with your wrist.
Note: In addition to the Observer, this band will fit older Suunto SR, TR, G3 and X6HRM models.
Although it is possible to install this strap youself, it can be quite difficult; we recommend using your local jeweler.

Replacement Strap
Reviewer: Carly , Archdale, NC
Date: June 28, 2008
This was my 2nd replacement band for my Suunto Observer which I've owned for around 5 years now. That's not too bad considering my first one went half way through my tour in the desert. I truly like the band but I think it is a little pricey and you don't have any other option than to buy from Suunto. I considered buying the metal band but it's still elastomer and I don't see it as being any more durable. My biggest problem with the band is the small retainer that holds the excess band after you have it on your wrist, they break entirely too easy. I used small rubber bands to hold the excess band in place rather than forking out another $40.00 for a new band until the band finally broke. If this could be replaced with a metal retainer, it would be a better product.

All too often...
Reviewer: Micah and disgruntled wife , Montana

I also love the watch itself, but this is now my third band. I went from the stainless band to the rubber one for price and now going back to the stainless one this time. I too would love to see a fabric/velcro option for these watches. Better price for the replacements wouldn't hurt either. My wife would have stronger words for Suunto since this was my anniversary gift a few years ago. She also feels that for the price of the replacements they should last longer and give the wearer "super powers", in her words.

Elastomer Band
Reviewer: Chris , Ft Leonard Wood, Mo
Date: May 13, 2008
I just ordered my second replacement band for my Observer Watch. I bought the first replacement before my second deployment to Iraq. The replacement band lasted about 6 months into my 15 month deployment. I love my watch, but I don't like paying so much for a replacement so often. I would like to see a fabric band with velcro for the Observer watch.

Suunto Observer Titanium Replacement Band
Reviewer: DAG , Berkeley, CA
Date: March 12, 2008
To Whom It May Concern,
The website is well organized and easy to navigate. The selection was easy to make and pay for. The correct product was shipped lightning fast. The band is an original replacement with all necessary installation pins. I'd would definitely do business with you again.

Great product, but ridiculously over-priced
Reviewer: Anonymous , Memphis, TN

Great product, but way over-priced. They have you in a bind when you need to replace a strap and they take advantage of you.
Comments from The Staff:
Sorry you feel that way. We are held to certain pricing policies by Suunto to ensure fairness across dealers. I'll be sure to pass on the sentiment, however. Thanks for your feedback.

Elastomer lasts a while
Reviewer: Ken , Fort Leavenworth, KS
Date: March 04, 2008
I bought my Observer SR in early 2003. After two deployments to Iraq and daily wear the band is just now needing replacement. I can handle replacing a band every 5 years that can handle that much abuse. Good product!

Elastomer Band - No Problems But $$$
Reviewer: Anonymous , Camp Arifjan, Kuwait
Date: February 24, 2008
I have had my watch four years now and the original band is still attached. I have been told many times to be ready for my band to break. From the looks of these reviews, a lot of folks have had problems. Some People must have caustic sweat! It is getting time to replace my band. It is cracking a little. Love the watch and the band, what I object to is a price of $40 for a rubber watch band replacement. If the price was more reasonable the stars would be much higher!

Stainless band
Reviewer: Anonymous , Seattle, WA
Date: February 21, 2008
A very nice upgrade over the stock elastomer unit and has a much nicer buckle, too. My original band lasted many years, I expect this band will last for many years, too....making the $100 price a good value.

Holds Up Well
Reviewer: Anonymous , North Hills, California
Date: January 09, 2008
Overall, I have been very pleased with the watch itself. I'm not so happy with the band as mine broke within the first year. The new band cost over $100.00 to replace when the only break was to the rubber portion.
