Replacement Suunto Ambit Watch Band Strap – Premium Watchband for Suunto Ambit 3 Peak, 3 Sport, 3 Run, 2R, 2S, 2, and 1 – Screwdriver Included

I am fairly certain this is the first review that I have ever written, and I do so because I feel compelled to.I have had my Suunto Ambit 1 for a very long time, and put more miles on it than I can honestly comprehend. A couple weeks ago, the retainer loop (for the extra band) broke and then within a couple weeks, the strap itself began tearing at the position the buckle sits on the opposing strap. So I really needed to replace it.I looked around for a bit, because it seemed difficult finding a band for the Series 1 Ambit. This band had good reviews and was priced reasonably, so I figured I'd give it a shot.I have to say that my initial impressions of the band were astounding! I couldn't believe how soft it felt, especially being plastic. It was very easy and straight forward to install and I 'really' appreciate the fact that it came with the tool needed for the job. I have now had this band on for a week or so, and I must say that it is really incredible. I enjoy it so much more than the original band. The comfort is top notch and the fit is perfect. The buckle positions happen to be better suited for my wrist, so it fits really, really well.I highly recommend!

Looks great. Easy to install.

The band fits the Ambit3 Peak BUT it is a very soft material which means where it screws into the watch is thin and stretchy. This is not what you want for trail running/OCR because if your watch snags on something the band would rip at the screw eyelets. Returned for a stronger material band. Probably would be fine if used as a EDC watch

I bought this to replace the band on my 1st gen Suunto Ambit. I am happy with my purchase. If I could give a half star I would give it 4.5 stars. I've used it now for over two weeks and it feels durable and comfortable. It is a bit thinner than the original and the material seems slightly more flexible. I love the 2nd band retention loop. The included torx screwdriver is a nice touch as well. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the fit is not 100% matched to my old watch. There is a tiny hardly noticeable gap around the GPS antenna. I get the feeling that is because there were subtle changes to the shape between the Ambit 1, 2 and 3 models. When I first put it on I was worried. But it has held up and functioned well. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

So far so good! I have only had the band on the watch for 1 week. After going through 3 of the Suunto brand replacements, i decided to try something new. The material seems to be of higher quality, so i have high hopes. I don't think this is a down side, but the strap that goes around the GPS sensor fits a bit snug, minimal concern that the added stress may cause the strap to tear over time. If you are looking to get away from the Suunto replacement, this is the one!

I echo some of the comments already made. The original band on my Suunto Ambit2 Sapphire felt apart right on schedule. First the watch band straps broke and I promptly replaced them. Then just a couple of weeks later the watch band itself broke (I could have saved money by just replacing the original band right away). This replacement band was easy to install. It is softer and fits much better than the original. For now I am very happy with it. My hope is that the replacement band will have a longer life than the Suunto original. Only time will tell.

Don't buy this one. This is the first review I've ever written but I'm pissed.....band didn't make it 2 months before one of the little bands and the main band broke (see photo). I was happy with how easy it was to replace original, but shocked it didn't last. I may just buy replacement from Suunto whose band lasted several years. Literally no stress on this replacement band when it broke. I give it zero stars for everything other than 'easy to install'.

I'm not a review writer but I have had to replace my Suunto band so many times I literally almost threw my Ambit 2 in the trash. The replacement band is so expensive and lasts just under 15 minutes before it breaks. I haven't had this band long enough to speak to longevity but I can see it feels MUCH better and seems much more durable than the Suunto brand. Service was awesome. So far so good.
