Turn off wrist HR on S9
-
Before this post gets frozen or deleted…. I’ve searched previous posts and still not clear the answer, even though I did see some people questioning. I also have a number of my coaching clients asking me as well…
Is it possible to turn off the Wrist HR on Suunto9 so that it doesn’t search for HR before every workout? I know that I can do this manually for each workout, but that means several button pushes before each workout. I know that this was possible before, but not sure if there is a way now? Thanks.

@Derrick-Spafford hello, I got back a SB9 after one year and unfortunately I am discovering that product/services from Suunto looks getting worst…
Unless I miss something, I didn’t realize that options for the activities are not saved and have to set every time (like the Suuntoplus but also the wrist HR as you mentioned). Furthermore Movescount allowed to set a great number of options for each activity while Suunto App does’t (for instance 1s/10s registration or low color/full color).
For the time being I think that you can use Movescount to remove the wrist HR by default from your activities.But I think that Suunto needs to move at higher pace as they’re losing competitiveness compared to other brands, which the decision to dismiss Movescount for a poorest app is also amplifying.

@Derrick-Spafford I don’t get it… If you have activities where you don’t want to monitor heart rate you can disable this for the activity permanently.
If you have activities where you do want to monitor your heart rate, you don’t have to disable wrist HR to use a belt only. It will prefer the belt over the wrist sensor.
The only way it switches to wrist HR is when your belt doesn’t connect right after you selected the activity. -
@Derrick-Spafford I believe you can create a new battery mode that does not use WHR, and use that one for all activities.

Some are saved, some are not, for some you can create a new battery mode and they are kept.
For S+, I like that the previous one is not remembered now that we have many options to choose from, because different days I need different S+ apps enabled.Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

OHR is excluded from this setting, even for customized batterymode, as I rememberliving sideways

Nope, you have to disable every time, I tried

@TELE-HO interesting, so if you have a custom battery that turns off OHR it will default to the custom battery but exclude the OHR setting?

@isazi you would agree that configuration in Movescount for each single sport activities was much more practical and complete. Sorry to say but this has been a step back (and SA is not even enabling any of the configuration mode).
It’s also make completely sense keeping S+ saved in a sport mode, if you set it, as I would be use always the same. And If you want to select each time just not save the default.
Sometime I forget to set it, and you cannot even add afterwards when activity starts, very unpractical. -

Sorry but here but I disagree with you, I do not want S+ saved in a sport mode once activated. I use S+ from time to time and I want it activated when I choose it. Another thing is that I should be able to create a custom sport mode where I can add S+ as a screen and then is always activated.
-
@cosmecosta I’m saying that likewise in Movescount I would like the possibility to save in a sport mode a default S+, and if you want to select each time you leave the default off.
Now it’s always turned off, this is the only possibility. -
@stromdiddily
there is no OHR setting in the customized battery mode… at least not in my settings
it’s for touch, gps quality, low color etc -

I don’t agree at all, not even close, and I’ll tell you why
I never used movescount, but if it is similar to how Garmin works, with options for each activity type, than I am glad I’ve never used it. The Garmin implementation is a mess, it’s terrible, I spent years configuring stupid things for each and any activity type, to the point I had no idea which GPS constellation I was using unless I checked all sport types. A total nightmare, I much prefer the simple Suunto implementation.
But, this is my preference, there is no need for it to be your preference too. So I don’t agree with your assessment, but I can empathize and understand that you may prefer it for your personal use cases.

@pacos I see what you mean.
I enabled wrist HR on a sport mode I created a couple of firmwares ago. By default HR is not on (wrist nor sensor). I enabled it, but it was just for that one activity. Once I ended it, it revert back to the default.In my mind it was a permanent setting, but maybe that was a couple of firmwares ago. Otherwise I wouldn’t know how I was able to switch it off by default.

Thanks for your thoughts. I tried to get back into Movescount to configure and disable OHR, but was unable to.
I really hope that Suunto comes up with a permanent solution as pressing a sequence of buttons 17 times before each run to disable the wrist HR is getting very old.

@Derrick-Spafford Just to be sure, I tried recreating one of my profile which has HR disabled by default. I was not able to do so.
So I guess something has changed between firmware updates. Not sure which one, but for what I can recall, there used to be one setting for HR, later this was separated into wrist HR and Sensor HR.
This was already the case before the last firmware update. -
Yes - I believe that is the case. I was always able to do this before, but recently had to do a reset and then when I tried to build a custom mode again without wrist HR, I was not able to do so.
The good thing is that I can now push the 17 button sequence every run now without looking at my watch from memory!
…but, yeah, kinda annoying.

Now that I had to recreate my sport modes on my new S9P, I face this problem too
Wrist HR is enabled every time for sport modes where I never use it. I disable it from the menu, but that is a one-time setting.Any news on this behaviour?

@surfboomerang I will likely stay this way…
