Suunto Race 2 straps and accessories
To get the most out of your training watch and its advanced health features, you need a watch strap that sits comfortably and securely in all conceivable conditions. With a customisable and interchangeable strap, you ensure that the device always measures with the highest precision and blends seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Materials and fit
The fit is crucial for the watch’s heart rate sensor to record accurate data whilst you’re on the move. A strap that’s too loose causes the watch to lose contact with your wrist, whilst a stiff and overly tight material quickly leads to skin irritation during round-the-clock use. By choosing flexible, skin-friendly and breathable materials, you allow your skin to breathe and effectively wick away moisture. The result is an uninterrupted, comfortable experience where your device feels like a natural part of your body.
Activity and lifestyle
Your choice of material makes a noticeable difference to how well the watch integrates into your daily routine.
- If you’re pushing your heart rate to the limit with intense running sessions or multisport activities: Then a sports strap made from soft, high-quality silicone is by far the best choice. The material is extremely durable, resistant to sweat and salt, and ensures the watch sits snugly against your wrist during rapid movements.
- If you wear the watch 24/7 to optimise your recovery and sleep: In that case, we recommend an incredibly lightweight nylon strap. Its unbeatable softness and superior breathability mean you’ll barely notice the watch during the night, laying the foundation for an undisturbed sleep.
- If you need to switch quickly from a training session to a work meeting: A stylish leather or metal strap gives the watch a professional, premium feel that fits perfectly into a modern office environment, without the watch losing its sporty DNA.
Frequently asked questions about the strap for Suunto Race 2
What strap width fits my Suunto Race 2?
The Suunto Race 2 uses the industry-standard width of 22 mm for its lugs. All watch straps in this category are specifically selected and guaranteed to have exactly the right width and fit for your particular device.
How easy is it to change the watch strap?
It’s a very quick and straightforward process. Our straps use built-in quick-release fasteners. Simply push the small metal lever on the back of the strap inwards to release it from the case, then repeat the movement to click the new strap into place. No tools are required.
How do I keep my strap clean from sweat and dirt?
To avoid skin irritation and extend the life of the material, regular cleaning is important. Silicone and nylon straps are best cleaned by rinsing them under lukewarm tap water with a little mild, fragrance-free soap after a workout. Always allow the strap to air-dry completely before putting it back on your wrist.
Can you swim and shower with all types of straps?
The watch is built for tough environments and is highly water-resistant, but the strap material determines what is suitable. If you’re swimming or showering, we recommend a silicone or metal strap, as these are completely unaffected by water. A nylon strap works in wet conditions but takes a while to dry, whilst leather straps should be protected from water to prevent the material from drying out and cracking.
