The watch band is a decent replacement for the stock band, feels nicer with cloth vs. the basic hard plastic. The stretchy feel does take a little getting used to. Couple of real problems. 1- Not a standard watch band attachment. And with the parts involved clear instruction for the change would be nice. 2- The loops for the attachemnt points are not the same (or any type of) stretch material. The watch tore through them after less than a month.
This is my second Suunto Vector watch. The one complaint I had with the first (before it was stolen) was that the stock "Rubber" band was very uncomfortable. They don't quite move with the natural movements of your wrist. I purchased this "Strap kit"at the same time that I replaced the watch. The change out was done the first day. With this velcro band it feels like a different watch. I can now wear it 24/7 without discomfort. It has softened with age (and getting it wet)..
