@MKPotts Thanks for that, I’ve also been going with the tighter hole & as yet my hand hasn’t fallen off. I’ve started doing wrist rotations with dumbbells to try & bulk up to the next hole LOL TBH I found the original Race strap really comfortable & could adjust it perfectly for my wrist (just a bit boring in plain black).

@IceRim Thank you. I used my Suunto Sensor yesterday. For the last 12 months I was using a Garmin HRM Pro. The Data I got from my Suunto Belt was horrible. Most of the time I had no Heartrate on the Watch, so I hoped it would sync afterwards, but what I got looked like this….  The Workout at the end seems ok, but way to high. The running intervals at the beginning showed no heartrate at all.

@Mff73 I reported some observations from different tests here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/10353/strange-behaviour-with-garmin-hrm/13?_=1715781410812 My heart rate monitor is 3 years old but I have no reasons to think it works bad (it doesn’t with other devices). I believe that for me this high/low readings at the start of the activity happen mostly when I wear a synthetic windproof jacket, but also cheap synthetic t-shirts without the jacket (it’s getting warm now!) seem to cause this problem.

@Egika interesting, must be, because Seal was on the FCC test report.

I have the same issue with my new HR Suunto belt and my S9PP. I had the same with the Ambit 3 and my old belt, this was much worst though. I always thought it was linked to dry skin and not enough sweat. Strangely this does not happen when I ride my bike, only when running.

@Ecki-D. To complement, maybe that would help too. When you use the activity you don’t need to have HR wist additionally turned on, OHR starts automatically. The rest was perfectly explained by @Mff73 .

@talha it started working again with the last update (2.39.20) however due to the subsiquent downgrade it has stopped connecting again. so just waiting for the bug fix release and hopefully i will be up and running ‍️again

@Maryn yeah, good point

by the way i am using garmin hear rate belt. it works fine with my suunto race S

@tinten.addi Got it, I just checked out the UK website and it is the old style.They have changed the website in the US and it does not have several of the items that are available in the UK. Having said that, the Run is in stock in the US so… Suunto is so special.

@alschmid said in Brown leather wristband for Suunto Vertical (Solar): anyone else missing the “classic brown leather strap” for the Suunto Vertical (Solar) model? The blue and black leather wristband for the SV seem to look quite nice (besides the pricing). However, the standard silicone strap is black already, and seldomly do I wear blue belts and shoes… Not me, But that surely a good good choice…

@Mff73 Thanks for the explanation, I learned something new

I used to get chaffed when using a neo for swimming until I read that others aply vaseline maybe give that a try just at the problematik spots.

@stromdiddily did you check the belt instead of the sensor ? https://forum.suunto.com/post/124621 if the belt is not waking up the sensor properly, then, probably the sensor looks dead. just to be sure, do you have tested another new fresh battery ? i sometimes have new batteries somehow not powerful enough despite new according to the video, try to plug the sensor on the belt and put both belt electrode in contact to each of them (like short circuit), if it definitively not make the sensor seeable, it is probably dead or something we may not think about

@Stefano-M64 If I understood it right both models are basically the same. The only difference ist that the plus is MDR certified (and therefor mor expensive) so that you could use the ECG readings in clinical settings. So you are right, the HR2 would be the better alternative for sports

@twekkel that is really impressive battery usage.

@JANTIKAINEN Polar claim that the Verity Sense can broadcast up to 150m. They don’t specify whether that is for the ANT+ or Bluetooth connection, so I assume both. I’ve never tested it and I don’t know what team sports you play but that should be sufficient for most if you can leave your watch at the edge of the pitch/court.

@larrybbaker ah very useful for my other devices too, you can even see the data from the hr senson in hex values

@Stefano-M64 said in Small wrists (14cm) armbands?: @Luis-Andés-Olmedo said in Small wrists (14cm) armbands?: @Stefano-M64 thanks!!! if you buy it, be careful that there are 3 bars “hidden” inside a tiny box within the package … Thanks! I do not think I will buy that… I am looking for one with “quick fit” system. With the Coros one I need to put the bars and remove them if I want to use the Suunto band… I’ve not found yet a strap for 13-14cm…

@Legin25 Here’s how I set the sensors up. I put a spacer under the one on the crank to move it closer the the main body - hopefully the pictures are clear enough.
