Red Silicone Strap Loop for Suunto Core Series, 24 mm

Red Suunto Core Series strap keeper, 24 mm

A red keeper is the kind of detail people notice: a small flash of colour beside the buckle of an otherwise sober outdoor watch. For a Suunto Core, red is classic and sporty, and it goes particularly well with black or grey straps.

Practical points first. The loop takes a 24 mm strap and is listed for the Core Series. To confirm the width, measure your strap near the buckle in millimetres. Silicone gives the loop enough elasticity to slip over the strap end and then hold it firmly, so the tail stays flat during a run, a climb or a long day at a desk.

When the old keeper has had its day

Splits along the edge, a loop that slides down towards the end of the strap, a tail that lifts every time you move your arm: all signs that the keeper needs replacing. A fresh red one fixes it in seconds. It does not mind sweat, rain or swimming, and a gentle wash with soapy water keeps the colour bright.

If your strap is red too, the keeper blends in; on a dark band it becomes a deliberate accent.

Red 24 mm loop: questions

Can the red keeper go on a 24 mm strap from another watch? It is designed for the Suunto Core Series strap; other 24 mm straps may have a different profile.

Does red silicone stain clothing? No. It is a coloured silicone loop meant to be worn every day against skin and cuffs.
