Suunto Watch Band
The Suunto Watch Band with hook-and-loop closure is compatible with the following Suunto watches (wrist top computers): Vector, Advizor, Altimax, Mariner, Regatta, and D3. Hook-and-loop closure as no moving parts to break, and the band has nothing on it to cause pressure points.

Suunto Watch Band
It is better than the rubber watchbands that come with the Suunto. Also, the fabric of the band does not itch during normal wear or during exercise when sweating. Finally, the green design band matches the green face of my Vector watch and gives it a slightly more dressy appearance. I recommend this band to anyone looking for an improvement over the Vector default watchband.
Suunto Watch Band Replacement
The Suunto replacement watch band is a definite improvement over the bulky "rubber band" that came with my wrist altimeter and computer. The hook and loop closure (felt) on the replacement band could be about an inch longer so the band would be more secure on my wrist. My wrist isn't abnormally large and it seems this band was designed for children or people with small wrists. That being said, it also took about a week to break in the band so the edges of the nylon no longer chafed the top of my wrist just below the watch.
I wish it fit my watch...
I got this watch band to go with my X6 HRM. The website listed several watches with which the band was incompatible. It didn't include the X6 HRM...so I ordered this band. Unfortunately, I got the band and quickly noticed it would not work. My recommendation to X6 users is to get an EK USA VELCROŽ band instead.

everything was fine
Light and easy
I have had a Suunto for many years and only recently discovered this strap. The stock plastic strap always kinda bugged me - not sure why. I think it was the fact it was way too long and I could never get the fit right. Always too loose or too tight. I like this strap much better. It's lighter (for all you fanatical ounce counters) and it adjusts much easier. Therefore, making it much more comfy. As any climber knows, your wrist changes size with altitude and this strap is so much easier to adjust for that. And although I haven't needed to, if it got caught during a climb, you can simply rip it off. If you use your Suunto as much as I use mine - this is a very good investment. You won't regret it.

Training Tips
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
