I've had problems with mine, too. I got my X9 in September of 2006 and in April of 97 the retaining strap broke. I contacted someone and they sent me another. I noticed a couple of months later that the band itself had a lot of cracks on the inside. I contacted Suunto and learned that the only way to get the band fixed was to send it in, which is what I did. Today, the retaining strap broke again, so can the band be far behind?
