Any recommendations on good quality strap replacements? I'm looking for a high quality leather band for formal use. Not a fan of a metal bracelet however.
well, 2 or 3...the same. the ones shown on the Samsung site iirc just says for gear sport...they have a cool 'hybrid sport' strap which im contemplating on getting provided the Samsung experience stores have stock still as they offer a subsidized price of about $25 for it...so too with the leather. in contrast to about $40 if bought directly from the maker's (strap studio) online store.
acousticbiker: Yes, I've been using this one for a couple of weeks now, and I'm very happy with it.
Perfect fit, very comfortable and very breathable during excersise. Also bought the similar Fantek-band from Amazon, which in my opinion feels a lot cheaper and less comfortable compared to the Kades.
so here's my VA3 with the Hybrid Sport strap which i mentioned about above. its basically just a rubber strap, with a black leather top that is for aesthetic purposes. my only gripe is i wish those 'ventilation' holes on the leather top actually continued down into the rubber backing...as it is now the holes are just for show also. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1346716.jpg
