Purple Silicone Strap Loop for Suunto Core Series, 24 mm

Purple 24 mm keeper for a Suunto Core Series strap

Purple is not the first colour people associate with an outdoor instrument, which is precisely why it appeals. A purple keeper on a Suunto Core Series watch gives a personal, slightly unexpected touch, whether you match it to a purple strap or set it against a black one.

Before ordering, confirm two things. First, the model: this keeper is listed for the Core Series. Second, the width: 24 mm, measured across the strap close to the buckle, where the keeper normally sits. A ruler marked in millimetres is all you need.

Silicone is easy to live with. The loop stretches to go on, stays supple against the wrist and resists sweat, rain and swimming. It can be cleaned under the tap with a little soap. Swapping it is worthwhile as soon as the old one tears or slackens, since a strap without a firm keeper tends to loosen and catch.

Some owners also buy a purple keeper as a spare, so a lost loop on a hike does not leave them with a flapping strap.
