did you buy it from suunto store ?
the whole smart sensor belt one on suunto store, the replacement belt on amazon, but the box looked like an original suunto one.
Don’t know what to think

It’s probably similar to activewear. Since they’re made of synthetic materials, they tend to smell bad. The solution is detergents for activewear. I occasionally clean the belt (without the sensor) with baking soda, and after each workout I rinse the belt under running water and I don’t have these problems, Even though I’ve been using the belt for several years.

I always rinse it too with warm water.
wash the stuff is the key

The issue is that it smelled like chemicals from day one when I ordered a new one. It doesn’t have anything to do with cleanliness.

exactly!

To me, the smell resembles that of leather products that have been in contact with water for some time.

Mine smells a bit like a newly bought laptop getting hot. Do you meen that? Like flame retardant?

I replaced the battery in my Suunto Smart Sensor, but now the R-R intervals are unstable and the values jump up and down. I’d like to know if I did something wrong during the process.
