Ultrafit strap questions

Hello

I need buy new strap, I think about ultrafit strap. I’ve read topics about this strap, byt I can’t find answers for few questions. Maybe someone use it and can answer.

- what about running, when You get sweat it’s start stink after some time ? (after activity I wash watch always with soap).

- Is this strap dry fast ?

- what about swiming also in salt water ? There are salt marks on it later ?

Thanks

I have a Yooside clone. It’s a nylon strap but as I wash it after every run I have not noticed any smell

I bought the Garmin UltraFit in March and have been using it daily 24/7 without any problems. I have a Nick Mankey Hook Strap and it is super comfy but is changing from wrist to outside jacket, from wrist to bike is problematic and much easier with the ultrafit strap.

No, I've used mine daily for 9 months and run on avg 30k /week. I wear mine in the shower and clean it with soap.

Yes, but not as fast as the silicon or rubber straps.

No, no problem.

Based on @Ɛpsilon recommendation I bought these for my 6X at £15.99 the pair. Comfortable, improves wrist heart rate accuracy over silicone strap and, so far, not smelly at all.

Yeah - I wish I'd bought the pair now as only £4 than a single one!

Ive got the coros nylon band on my 6pro. The hooks fit well on the spring bars. Its not really quick release and I wouldnt recommend it for open water swimming. The velcro isnt that strong. But super comfortable for running and everyday wearing. Im rinsing it before showering and dry it a little bit with a towel. After showering its a little bit wet but still wearable. So its really quick drying.
