        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.😊

              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.

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

                      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.
