I Suunto this for a little over 3 years and I was very happy at the beginning (look nice, reliable measurements, ...) but I became disillusioned since I discovered the deplorable quality of the bracelet that breaks after a year and a half. I am already in my second and last is currently holding with coarse black tape because it broke as the first .... I think it looks like very short lifetime (and I'm not alone in this case, we can find more evidence on the net). Besides, it's not easy to find a replacement strap of another brand because fixation is not classic. It is a watch that is expensive with time, it is better to know before buying ... For more information, you can check out my review on Amazon the only band (labeled "Do not stand in the time ").
