Suunto
Wow. Thanks for that, Konrad. I would never have expected that. That's a strange limitation. I hope that isn't the case for the watch I just bought. After a lot of reading, I decided to...

Stitching
"Stay stitching like this doesn't work very well. It provides some reinforcement, but only directly on the line of stitching." David, thanks for the feedback. Reinforcement between...

Suunto watches
