coldwaterLloyd,
All of the D4 / D4i straps have been re-designed, and are now made from a much more durable material.
Best Regards,
Chris from Suunto
Aloha Chris!
I have some concerns about my new D4i watch: I bought this watch as a replacement for my Mosquito. I love the Mosquito and used it often. At some point it would not go into to dive mode anymore and after sending it in for repair, I was told it could not be fixed and unlike Oceanic, Suunto did not offer any trade-in option. After a long investigation, I decided on the D4i as a replacement over the Oceanic Geo2. Mainly because of the size. I am female and I have a small wrist, so I wanted something small and comfortable that i could also wear as a watch while traveling. I just received my new D4i and I a VERY disappointed in the strap. It seems flimsy compared to the weight of the watch. I am very concerned I could lose it by the plastic strap breaking. It is also big for my wrist. I called Suunto and was told they do not make any other style that I could replace it with for the D4i. This is disappointing. I have not decided to keep watch. i will continue through weekend to look for a replacement strap. But this is a deal breaker for me. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated?
Are the color straps made differently than the black strap?
Where could i order the color straps if so?
Hope you don't mind me asking. Found you on ScubaBoard and you sound like you are in the know

Thanks for your time Chris!
