      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! 🙂

                    @Matteiva my test from bike ride turned out good. Comparing to chest strap. I will do similar for walking activities. I am suspiciouse there is possible cadence lock when watch is not tight on your wrist. But i will see after comparison with chest strap. Hope i will find time to test this week.

                      With old Suunto 5 i hade from time to time crazy high HR measurement using OHR sensor. At least this didn’t occured yet on Race 2. So big improvement in that for my.

                        @Tomas5 🙂 in 10 years that’s the worst OHR I have ever seen for me while running

                        chest are always the best for specific workout, but for daily training or trail a good OHR should be enough, I use both chest and ohr, but very disappointed with the race 2, meaning I can not train with it’s ohr 🙂
