Good band - Suunto X6 Replacement Elastomer Watch Strap

I use this band for a Suunto Observer watch, and it fits perfectly. I previously had an observer specific metallic&elastomer band, and found - as so many others that the rubber in the band would become brittle and break in about 1 year. Because the metallic band is too expensive and because it seems to break repeatedly (I changed 2 already) I thought of trying the all rubber one. So far so good, this one has a better price, is a bit more comfortable but harder to take off. Also, the rubber band makes the watch look more sporty, the metallic one makes it look more elegant.

Be careful and patient when you replace your old band - if you do this yourself, because it's a bit difficult to install it, and if you don't do it right, the band could come apart and the watch could fall from your wrist (it happened to me, luckily I was inside).
Pros: comfortable
Cons: hard to set up / install
