My Suunto Observer is the BEST watch I have ever owned!However, the watch bands they make for it are terrible.These 2 bands are the 5th and 6th I have had to purchase in the 5 years I have owned the watch.For some reason, they have not figured out how to make the bands so that they will not quickly begin to crack and then come apart where the buckle is on them after about a year of use.I tried buying them from the Suunto site first.They, as usual, were not in stock there.Thank goodness Amazon keeps them.
