Does this come with the Timex soft elastic strap (elastic all the way around with a 2" plastic piece in the middle) or the strap that is much stiffer?

it's the soft elastic strap. BTW - it hasn't worked properly since I bought it...

It's elastic most of the way. Besides the 2 inch piece is plastic in the middle there are some flexible plastic pieces to either side of it that fit to your chest but compaired to a previous one I have it is not as stiff.

Don't really understand the question, but it comes with a "standard" two-piece strap that is hooked together in the middle by a pin through a hole.

I have had both, the regular strap was uncomfortable, did not register as well, and broke. The softstrap is more comfortable, does not slide down and therefore registers better - hopefully, it will last longer!

Yes, the strap is roughly 3/8 inch wide elastic. It is not very stretchy. It is tacked on both ends inside the hat. My husband had no problems wearing this hat for a Sensei Wu (Lego) Halloween costume. It stayed on his head just fine with the elastic strap.

Soft strap. I don't like the vinyl type but the soft strap is comfortable for my shape.

There is another choice if you use the core replacement strap with the buckles at the ends. Usualy they are orange and black. This strap will work and look better but has to have the pins at the end. You will need these to attach to your watch.

It's about on-par with the length of the "provided" strap - but can be adjusted like the free one. It's just the half case one has a nice, more luxuorious look to it compared to the one that comes with.

I found th strap white comfy. I never had any issues with sweat or the time I dropped it in the shower, but I never took it swimming or anything. My only issue with the timex is that I found the interface less intuitive than the Polar.

Plastic will last longer, soft more comfortable. If you can get the newer soft strap that's what you want. This one is the one I recommend. Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (Soft Strap) I had to replace the older version of the soft strap twice.

Yes it does, but in my case it just was not accurate for me. Maybe my wrist are too thin or something? I have a second one but it's not strapless, however my strapped monitor is very accurate.Hope that helps.

No, the strap that comes with it wasn't very long. Used to pull the zippers mostly. I threw it away as it wasn't comfortable to use as a wrist strap and it just got caught on things.

The strap is very elastic, stretchy 9 inches on one side. The side with the clasp is almost 3 inches. I am only 5 feet tall & weight about 100. Not very big arms. I think about doing weights to firm up some but haven't started. He he

Soft strap is much better. I ran 5 years with the regular one and the new soft is way comfortable!

Nope. I don't remember a strap coming in addition. The strap it comes with is plastic and only big enough for your hand.

It's an elastic strap .... watch out, dont keep is sports bag with velcro or purse with velcro ... the 'hooks' part of the velcro makes the fibers on strap fray but other then that, i've never had it slip open (ever)

Orange ring is focus. The first time you turn it, or if it hasn't been turned in a while, it can be very stiff. Not sure about the wrist band; I never attached it. I'm not even sure that hard black rectangle is for a strap...?
