@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.

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

@herlas Never run that race (my daughter has) and I likely never will:). I will be out of town on that day.

I have the same issue, any idea how to fix it?

@martin720601 The Suunto smartsensor has only 1 bluetooth channel and no Ant+. It will only transmit to 1 device,

@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 .

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…

@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

@Maryn yeah, good point

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.

@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

They don’t seem to be available, but someone found a clever solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/17g7kk2/finally_done_suunto_x9_x10_rubber_strap/?show=original Maybe that helps

Hey @Audaxjoe thansk for replying I‘m already the owner of different Bands (Color). The M/L size is tight on a 7mm wetsuit and (for me) impossible to wear on a drysuit. Looks Like I have to wait for XL straps

@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.

@Todd-Danielczyk Thx for your help!

@twekkel that is really impressive battery usage.

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