HR Belt broken und looking for a new on

[vinc14]

Hello
on my HR Belt i had to change the battery - did so and worked fine!
Went to the lake for a swim, with the HR belt on.

a day later i found out my belt to not connect to my suunto.
i also found out the battery place was not closed properly and some water went inside. So i think the device is dead.

should i just get a new suunto HR belt or would there be something better which would connect to my suunto or a Polar H10, or something else?

have a nice day

@vinc14 I’m also curious to learn more about suggestions.
I have a H10. Garbage, replaced the belt, still garbage.
Bought a new H10, even more garbage.
Maybe is a me thing.
Maybe is my hairy chest (as mentioned in the support page).
Maybe is static (as mentioned in the support page, my clothes usually feel full of static).
At least 90% of my runs have bad readings (can be low as 50bpm up to 220 bpm)

Looking around about the Garmin HRM devices but maybe is time to realise that the proper and best solution is the Coros Armband. Wondering if the Garmin HRM wouldn’t have the same issues as the H10, in case is a “me thing”.

@jjorgemoura I have the Garmin HRM Pro+ and it has worked well. They no longer sell it that I am aware of, but I was looking at the HRM 200 as a replacement. The belt on my Pro+ is off and curling. It can be very uncomfortable.

I also had issues with a H10. When it worked it was great, but toward the end it had so many drops. I wish Suunto would turn OHR back on when the signal from a strap goes silent, but it does not.

I would also look at the Suunto strap, but it only allows one BT connection and no ANT+ so that is a no go for me.

I have a Coros band and it is really good. It has given the exact same readings as a functioning H10 or Garmin HRM when tested. Problem is if you want to have Zonesense it does not work.
