      Are there signs of cadence lock during downhills? Thats the only situation where the Race S OHR really fails for me

              Today I did bike ride, almost all it was done on asphalt road. Here is comparison of Suunto 5 (using Suunto Smart Heart Rate Belt), and Suunto Race 2 OHR sensor.

                    The crazy high BPM at the beginning of an easy run is since forever on my Vertical too.

                      @sorinus try to wait minute or two after watch lock on HR before starting your excercise.

                        @Tomas5 with almost every Suunto watch I had bad OHR readings when riding my bike.
                        Usually it would eventually just fall into the lower 80s and stay there.

                        Race 2 was the first watch to ever got OHR in cycling right for me! 🙂
