Sky Blue Silicone Strap Loop for Suunto Core Series, 24 mm

Sky blue 24 mm loop for the Suunto Core Series

Sky blue is a fresh, airy shade that brings a light touch to a Suunto Core, a watch better known for its tough, outdoor character. This keeper lets you keep that colour consistent on a matching strap or introduce a pale accent against a dark band.

The loop is 24 mm, the width of the strap it accepts, and it is listed for the Core Series. If you want to double-check, lay a ruler across your strap just beside the buckle, where the keeper sits; you should read 24 mm. Measuring the old loop itself is less reliable, since a worn silicone ring has usually stretched.

On the trail and in the water

Silicone was the obvious material for a Core keeper. It is supple, so you can coax it over the strap, and it shrugs off the sweat of a climb, a mountain stream or a summer swim. Pale colours can pick up marks from dust or sunscreen, but a rub with soapy water brings the sky blue back to life.

People typically order one when the original has split, gone baggy or been lost on a hike, leaving the strap end flapping.

Sky blue Core keeper: your questions

Does sky blue look good on a black Suunto Core strap? Yes, it gives a soft, sporty contrast that stands out without being loud.

Will the sky blue colour fade? Normal wear and washing with mild soap keep it presentable; avoid harsh solvents, which can mark light silicone.
