Has the strap issue been resolved or do they still send out the older version?

I have usei the bag 4 or 5 times to carry clothing on weekend trips and one of the straps shows signs that it is going to fail soon.

I got one of these in early 2012. The shoulder straps or OK, but I wouldn't go crazy with too much weight stuffed in the bag. It's holding up overall. 2 years worth of light duty.

I'm not sure what was the old one like. I had mine for six months now and using it almost every other week and so far so good. The only thing is before I bought it I had read this concern so I'm carefull not to over load it or lift it with tension.

We have not had a problem with the straps. We used our bag in November when we went to Belize and it worked great. We are very satisfied with it. Thank you.

Mine was purchased in June 2013 and the strap did break on our trip, however, it was probably overloaded.

Mine is 93. It has vilco on all conners,this one dosen't have and the strap are in the wrong place.

I have had mine 5-6 years and the velcro still works just as well today as it did when I bought it. I agree with another answer that said the strap would be quite simple to replace if you use it enough to wear it out.

I wasn't aware they had fixed the docking problem. But I just bought this one maybe two weeks ago and to be honest have yet to see the docking issue they're talking about.

I've had both. For some reason the newer soft strap digs into my chest and chafes me, while the other did not. I've tried several adjustments to no avail. I'm going back to the older standard strap and monitor combo. I'm average weight and build at 5' 9" and 170 lbs.

No the one I recieved requires at least one end of the strap be removed for attaching it, the function there after doesn't effect strap placement though.

PROBABLY the best solution would be to contact Timex. you will have the number on your warranty/manual literature. it may be more feasable/cost effective to simply get a new watch and keep the other strap as a backup.but definitely check with timex

If memory serves, it comes with the connectors. I remember just taking off the old strap and putting on the new; no removal of connectors necessary. But it has been a little while so my memory could be faulty.....

No, my husband uses this watch and so far he hasn't had that problem. He had the older model before and the problem with at one is that the strap wouldn't send the signal no matter what I did to re set it after many batteries.

you could use your old strap. not the most secure but would work in a pinch

no, maybe the straps are twisted inside or in the back. I recommend you either contact them directly or perhaps re-install.

said it does, however my son's strap broke less than two weeks and I posted a comment with no response I recall. Warranty can be a pain with no value added.

Hi Georgia, I am on my 3rd watch:( I love them but they are not durable my straps have broken also. You can mail it to Timex because they do have a warranty and I think they can fix it . I haven't done it because... I wanted to replace my watch right away. In the back of the Timex booklet for the watch it has all info for mailing.

It is a newer strap. The strap and sensor disconnect for easy washing and to save on battery life. Hope this helps
