Review on πŸ”§ Suunto Octane Bands: Upgraded Replacement Strap for Enhanced Performance by Jon Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the same quality as the Suunto version

I decided to take a risk and order an unbranded watch strap for the Suunto Ambit Peak 3. I usually order one about every six months. These can be expensive, as they typically cost $60 on Suunto's website. Upon opening this product, I could immediately see that the quality of rubber/silicone is not the same as elasticity and thickness. Another explanation is that it's thinner in thickness than it is in width, and it's stiffer. I'll be surprised if this streak lasts longer than 45 days. I recommend not trying to save $25 but instead paying $60 and ordering directly from Suunto.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Very expensive
