I have purchased a Suunto Titanium bracelet to complement my Race 2 Titanium and I have to say the combo is just gorgeous.

However, after just a few days of actual use, I have decided to ask for a refund.

The bracelet has a design flaw which denies its very purpose - the clasp holding the bracelet links is very sensitive and the security hooks holding the clasp together are very small and loose. The bracelet simply unlocks on my wrist randomly and if I am not paying close attention, the watch can fall of my hand.

To reproduce the problem I flex my wrist inwards (usual motion when taking a backpack off). 3 times out of 10, the clasp unlocks by itself. This denies its very purpose and if used when hiking, that would be a big no-no.

I have a Longines steel bracelet for a mechanical watch. The clasp is rock solid - never ever in 10 years did it unlock by itself; however, the hook mechanism is different.

I have contacted Suunto support, let's see. In the meantime, I reverted back to the original silicone strap. I cannot be always on alert to save my watch from falling of my hand.

Here are a few images of the bracelet and clasp mechanism (the screw heads visible in the images are cosmetic only): https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B245nhQSTPoRYj
