Do these bands fit the Suunto Race, Race S and Race 2?

Yes. All three use a 22mm quick-release band, so any style on this page fits any of them. Suunto has kept this width consistent across the Race, Race S and Race 2 regardless of case size.

Do these bands fit the Suunto 9 or 9 Baro?

No. Those models use a wider 24mm band, not the 22mm width these bands are built for. Only the 9 Peak shares the Race's 22mm width. The two watches also look different in person, since the 9 Peak has a noticeably slimmer case than the standard 9.

How do I change the band on my Race?

Push the small lever on the spring bar behind the band to release it, then press the new band's spring bar into the lugs until it clicks. It takes under a minute with no tools.

What width band does the Suunto Race use?

22mm, across the Race, Race S and Race 2. All three share the same lug width regardless of case size.

Which band is best for race day?

The Vornis silicone sport band and Rovan magnetic loop are the practical choices for racing, since both handle sweat and adjust in a hurry. Keeping a dressier second band on hand also means you're not stuck wearing race gear once you're off the course.

Can I wear these bands while swimming?

Silicone and nylon bands are fine for swimming — rinse and dry them afterward. Wipe magnetic milanese and magnetic loop bands dry instead of soaking them.
