Suunto watch strap loops

Suunto watches go hiking, running, climbing and diving, and the loop that holds the strap end works hard along the way. Once it splits, the strap end can catch on a rucksack strap or come undone. These Suunto compatible loops let you repair the strap and get back outdoors.

They are compatible replacement parts, not official Suunto accessories. Made from smooth, durable silicone, they are unaffected by water and easy to keep clean. Two ranges are covered:

• Suunto Core Series: 24 mm loops in a choice of seven bright colours, namely coral, orange, red, yellow, light green, sky blue and purple, to match your strap or add a touch of colour
• Suunto 5: a loop matched to this model

To choose, check the exact model of your watch in its settings or on the back of the case. For the Core Series, the strap width is 24 mm. If you have fitted a third-party strap, measure its width in millimetres where the loop sits and choose a loop of the same width from the widths section instead.

No tools are needed: unfasten the strap, slide the loop on and push it into position. After a swim in salt water or a long, sweaty outing, rinse the loop with fresh water and a little mild soap, then let it dry.
