    @thanasis said in Suunto ZoneSense: i also want to rely on zonesense but i really struggle to understand how is it possible when going uphill , with over 170Bpm for some minutes the app to be showing i am in the green zone… In principle i am excited about relying on hr variability but am i harming myself by relying on it? that’s the big question for me This is normal, because metabolically you are still in green. You do not enter/exit one zone only for changing a few HR beats. As you observe that at 170 bpm you do not go red immediately you will also observe that if you are red at the top of the hill, when you start to go down and your bpm are going down you are still in red for some time, because you are still not recovered metabolically. When you are going uphill, instead of reducing your pace try to keep the pace and continue pushing you will see that you will enter in red rapidly, or start the uphill at higher pace. In my opinion, since the release of ZS, amateur runners we should do a test lab/medical check to see if your heart is healthy and there are no issues with it and then you can trust ZS for you training. Of course you have to use it correctly, do the warm up, do the first sessions slowly and use a good chest strap. In order to use it properly, we should unlearn some things. @thanasis said in Suunto ZoneSense: If this hypothesis stands true, I (as an amateur, non scientifically trained user) cannot really make use of it. On the contrary, you can use it more. The zones that it indicates are the real ones for that exercise/day and you do not need any expensive test lab. In my opinion as a first approach ZS is pretty good and solid but Suunto should do a next step integrating ZS in the watch firmware and let you decide to work with the 5 zones or the ZS zones. In my case, I use ZS from time to time because chest straps wound my chest if I use them continuously. So when I have a session that I want to be strict with the zones I use ZS and the days that I do not care I use an OHR armband.

    @aamado said in Using Suunto heart rate belt for scuba diving: Hello Everyone, Can the Suunto heart rate belt monitor be used for scuba diving? I’m thinking that, when diving in cold waters, I won’t be able to use the HR sensor from the watch (not even sure if it works underwater!), so using the chest belt for HR might be an option. Maybe better with dry suit to avoid getting wet but not sure if pressure can damage or even break the sensor which isn’t something pleasant to happen during a dive! Any thoughts on this topic? Thanks, Antonio Interesting question. I have never dived with a heart rate monitor but I swim a lot with OWS and in the pool with a heart rate monitor. I think it can be done but only with the Suunto Heart Rate Belt because Bluetooth does not work underwater. The Suunto sensor has its own internal memory and can work independently with the watch after starting the activity. After finishing, the data is automatically transferred to the watch. If you want to dive with Suunto “OCEAN”, I don’t know because I don’t know this model. The only limitation is depth. According to the manufacturer, the water resistance is up to 30 meters.

    Hi! I have an Amazefit Balance watch which does broadcast the HR during a workout or when I activate the HR App on the watch. I am using an Android Phone (Xiaomi 12 Pro / HyperOS 2.0.5.0) and the Sports Tracker App (Version 5.1.7). Strava and Bergfex can connect to the watch via Bluetooth and show the heart rate. I guess this is then using Bluetooth LE (BLE) and the generic heart rate protocol defined in that standard. But the Sport Tracker App can’t connect. The help tells me that it should work with all BT Smart compatible devices. BT Smart is the old name of BLE, so it should work in my opinion. I am using Sport Tracker since years and it would be nice to get also the heart rate into the App to get better calories calculation, now that I have a watch. Using Strava or Bergfex is no real option, because those Apps are not as good as Sport Tracker. BR, Jasmin

    @Audaxjoe / @sartoric +1 to both of you I do use the unread button, and thanks for the pointer to the settings. Still seems an odd default to me though!
