      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.

        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.

                        @Mff73 Does it really look that silly or stupid?
                        In this thread, I just saw users who have the same HR belt model as mine, so I was hoping someone might have experience with changing the battery.
                        If it came across as stupid, then I apologize.

                          stupid maybe not, and afaics he didn’t say that
                          off topic for sure 🙂

                          what can happen is that people just skip your message because it’s OT

                          better search a proper thread or open a new one
