Suunto Core Strap, Rubber Replacement Watch Band for Suunto Core SS014993000.

I have been wearing my Suunto core watch for over a decade. The watch itself is incredibly durable, the watchband not so much. I’m a fairly active person and my watch doesn’t ever come off. Because of that I go through a watchband about once every eight months. This band is comfortable, affordable, and easy to replace. I think the durability is just fine given what I put my watch through on a daily basis. If you have a core watch, this is a great replacement band. By a few that way, you have spares.

Comes with screw drivers and attaching hardware. Looks just like the original band. Has two strap sleeves that have the notch that conveniently holds them in place. I spent twice as much on my last replacement band. I will update when it fails. Have a great day. Update: 2017/12/13 Still going strong! No cracks and both strap holders are still holding on great! I will keep you posted. Update:2019/08/19 Well now. It has been over 2 years and it finally broke. (posted updated photo) I would say for an inexpensive aftermarket wristband I am very impressed. I don't work on cars as much as I used to but I am still pretty active. For normal use you can not beat the value. I ordered another one overnight and am confident that it's a great purchase. Update:2021/05/11 The little holders have about a 2 year lifespan. My band is still good but decided to get another one any way. I am normally a black band person but decided to switch things up this time and went with the gray one. Hopefully it is as durable as the black one. I will let you know in a few more years lol. Just FYI, the watch itself is on sale for like $100. I was tempted to just get a new one but this one has seen combat and it means a lot to me. Overall, I am still very satisfied with this product. I added a few more pictures of my watch band from the same company. There are a few fractures inside if I stretch the band but under normal use I am sure it still had a lot more time before it failed. See you in a few more years..

Very good. Arrived quickly.

Looks good. Just like the original.

Great replacement

This is my second time purchasing this replacement band for my 10 year old Suunto Core. It’s easy to install and comes with the required screwdrivers in a kit. It has a softer feel and appearance than material than the OEM band (which I like). Over time with normal wear it does polish up and appears as pictured. The photos taken are of my first replacement band (same brand) and the new one on the watch. You can see from the pics that my watch has been through hell in the past ten years. Saltwater, freshwater, and a lot of blue collar work. I can’t see spending the $60 Suunto wants for the OEM replacement. I frequently receive compliments on my watch and not one person has said “that band doesn’t match”. Just do it. This item has arrived in great condition twice now, and I don’t hesitate recommending it to other Suunto Core Owners.

My Suunto watch band developed deep cracks on the inside of the band. It was close to falling off my wrist at any inconvenient time. Suunto bands cost about $50 for the same defective and short-lived material. I found my new band, with a weird name of Patrohoo, (must mean something in Chinese) on Amazon. Figuring that it might last as long as the original from Suunto (about 1 year) I ordered one. The band arrived without instructions, but it fit absolutely, exactly, as did the original. It had a different buckle. The buckle was supplied with a spring loaded pin typical of watches forever. A penknife blade under the buckle metal was used to compress the pin and out it popped. With the buckle removed, I could remove the Sunto buckle, much nicer, and attach it to the patrohoo band. Removing the Suunto buckle required two screwdrivers. Two came with the Patrohoo, but they were too small for the job. I had two larger screwdrivers (2.6 mm) that fit perfectly. With a small bench vise, the buckle was held to permit the tow screwdrivers working together to remove the pin holding the buckle. The nicer Suunto buckle was easily added to the Partohoo band. The two screwdriver/bench vise combination was used to remove the band halves from the watch case and reinstall the Partohoo bands. The replacement bands were an absolutely perfect match for the Suunto original bands. So there you are. The Patrohoo is a fabulous replacement for the original Suunto band. It is also a bargain price compared to a Suunto original made with sub-standard materials.

Perfect replace watch band for the Sunnto Black Core watch, exact match.

muy similiar al original , el cambio de la pieza requiere de paciencia y un lugar donde uno se pueda acomodar a quitar los tornillos . es un buen producto

Suunto All black excellent

Pour ma montre Suunto Core.Aucun reproche a faire.

Ajusto bien, calidad aceptable. Pienso pedir otro en color distinto

The product page displayed what appeared to be an original suunto wristband. I instead received a cheap piece of rubber with an even cheaper buckle attached to it. The item was so flimsy that i went and bought a zulu style watch band at a brick and mortar by fear of loosing my 300$ watch.
