Two Questions about HR Strap
-
Hello. I was thinking about buying Chest strap to pair with my SV. I got two questsions.
-
If i pair stap with my watch I want to measure my HR out of activity from watch, and from strap when doing activity. Do I need to set it every time, or that how its works? Every time I start running/cycling I need to set which device if should use to measure? Or I do it only one time, and after cycling for example, and finish activity, it automatically switch to my watch HR, than again next day I go cycling, it will automatically switch to chest strap when I start activity?
-
Which one do You recommend? I was thinking about SUUNTO SMART HEART RATE BELT and Polar H10 chest strap. Price is basically the same. Or maybe You know any better?
Thanks!

@Tami999 once the HRM is paired to the watch it will pick up for each activity - as long as you are using the same HRM. You can only pair one. As far as device recommendations - as long as it is Bluetooth and if you want to sue ZoneSense it has to measure R-R intervals.

The only advantage the Suunto belt has is its memory. So you can use it while swimming…
-
Thanks, I searched some more info and ordered Suunto :). Seems like it also got a bit bigger battery than Polar.

@Tami999 I don’t have any comparison with other’s brand but I’m using Suunto chest belt and so far no problems. Instant connectivity, direct HR reading, comfortable belt that doesn’t slip on the body (at least in my case).

Hello everyone! Based on your experience, can you tell me if it is acceptable to leave the Suunto heart rate sensor connected to the belt when not in use? Will the battery run out? As far as I remember, I left the Polar H10 sensor connected to the belt, the battery ran out quickly. The Suunto sensor is very difficult to disconnect from the belt and I am afraid to damage the contacts by constantly connecting/disconnecting.

@Sergei-Ladeishchikov In my case, it’s pretty simple: when I go to train, I put on the HR strap, when I’m done, I put it away, wash it, and forget about it. IMHO If it’s idle, it goes to sleep, so there’s no need to turn the device on or off every time.
-
form an electrical point of view, it seems to me that the belt just acts as an extension of the contact pins of the sensor, that is the pads you have to wet, if the belt isn’t in use the sensor shouldn’t drain more current
-
theoretically yes, but the discharge was present for several days in my previous H10, I had to attach and detach the sensor to the belt every training. I checked the detection of the Suunto belt when not in use, through the watch and SA, the belt was not found))

@Sergei-Ladeishchikov said in Two Questions about HR Strap:
I checked the detection of the Suunto belt when not in use
it is only detected when the skin close the electrical circuit
