OHR accuracy of owners of Race 2

[Tomas5]

I will get back later after few weeks so people with same problem have some answers. At least for me it looks with Race 2 better than with S5. Not sure if it is accurate but at least no spikes with 200bpm while normal walk etc.

Walk looked good HR usually between 100-120 which is correct for me.
On bike it looks good too. I think there was rise of HR while riding down bumpy road while i think my real HR was lower but other than that it was correct. So for now good but this is only after two excercises. Will let you know later.

Are there signs of cadence lock during downhills? Thats the only situation where the Race S OHR really fails for me

[Tomas5]

@VoiGAS i don’t run, i will see while hiking

[Tomas5]

Today possibly cadence lock in first half? Not sure but strange change in middle of activity while i walked same speed all the way.

@Adam.B which Garmin are we speaking of?

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.

Yesterday during a long run. Constant pace all the way.

Ok so I am not alone with those crazy high bpm in the beginning of each easy run…

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!
