Suunto Vyper2 owners - mounting question

[fbk]

I have an original Vyper that I wear on a 1" nylon watch strap - much more secure and less bulky than the rubber Suunto boot. The strap loops through the 2 spring bars like a regular watch so that even if one breaks it is still held in place. It sits nice and flat on the wrist.

I want to get a new Vyper 2 and keep my old Vyper as a backup. From the pics it seems the new ones have a totally different mounting system that may not include the spring bar mounting option.

Can any Vyper 2 owner confirm what the back of one looks like when you take it out of the rubber boot? Is the boot even removable at all? Or would I would be stuck wearing it on the included rubber.

Thanks

DSS makes a bungee mount. If you look on their website

it's the same mount for both Vyper and Vyper2, so they must be removable and have the same external profile as the Vyper. I think the bungee mount is easier to use than a buckle strap.

Thanks for your reply Hatul... I already had a bungee mount, hated it so got rid of it, way too big, I usually dive with no wetsuit and like to wear my Vyper like a watch. The nylon straps are awesome. The diameter of all Suuntos is the same so they all fit in that mount but I want to know if the Vyper 2 has the lugs on the back for a 1" strap like the Vyper 1 and other Suuntos have.

I see. You must be a lucky dog living in a place warm enough to dive with no wetsuit.

Lucky, yes... 19C/66F water temp in winter where I am in Australia, I wear a 3mm for that though I dive mostly in summer in a shorty or just board shorts.
