Willi Cannell

Thank you for the help! While I have you: do you know how often battery should be replaced in sensor pod?

@Willi-Cannell sorry, just got mine the other day so don’t know how long the battery lasts.

I manage to keep a battery for almost 300h of effective workout. Long enough ?

The level of battery can be checked with some app on your phone for example BLE tool.

And have you tried wash your belt? You should clean it if you not.

And polar’s belt works great with suunto watch, if you fed up with suunto strap, go grab a polar HR belt.

@zhang965
Do you know if Polar belt (just belt) is OK with Suunto Smartsensor ?
Suunto new model belts are still out of stocks, and i can not so longer wait for a new one.

@Mff73 No, is not compatible. The distance between connectors and the size of them are different. Suunto’s is more compact than the Polar.

I don’t know, I only use the Polar OH+ on arm, so I cannot give you the answer,

But what do you mean by new model belts?

there is a new one?

I always have a backup belt.

@cosmecosta
Thanks.

@zhang965
Suunto has finally identified that their belts have some issues and have introduced a new design which should make them more reliable and durable.
One should recognize the ‘new’ design model, with the color of the brand/model marking on the belt (grey background) like there.

@zhang965 I have one of the new belts and @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos has used his for over a year with no issues. If you order a black belt from Suunto you will get the new design, do not order a colored belt, they are the older design.

Currently, all belts are out of stock at Suunto.com. Since more than one month.
Surely Covid root cause.

I bought a new one recently, make sure to put your email in to be notified when a black belt is available then order. Mine came about one and one half weeks ago.

@Brad_Olwin
I put my email, but never receive one. Plus, I check regularly the site, and never see any stock.

Brad_Olwin

@Mff73 Put the email in again, I did as soon as I got the notification I ordered.

@herlas as per photo, the belt is the old one.

@Atlen that’s from Amazon US, wonder if they will star selling new version soon

zhang965

Amazon’s product photo might be different than the current product version.
