Third-party chest strap with ZoneSense on SuuntoPlus?

[Kraisun Tunta]

Has anyone tried using a third-party chest strap with ZoneSense on SuuntoPlus?

Does it work properly with brands other than Suunto, like Polar or Garmin HR straps?
I’m curious if ZoneSense requires specific Suunto sensors or if any accurate HR chest strap is fine.

Thanks!

@Kraisun-Tunta io ho una polar h9 e zone sense con il mio race2 funziona perfettamente.

@Kraisun-Tunta I use a £25 Amazon one & it works with Zonesense fine

@Kraisun-Tunta I also use a cheap one from Amazon - it is more comfy than the Polar one to be honest - and it works fine with zonesense and has washed really well also.

@Kraisun-Tunta Do a quick search in the forum. This has been discussed many many times. Historically some work better than others, but if you want specifics a search would be best.

TLDR: Yes you can use another brand.

@Stavrogin Yeah mate, that’s literally why forums exist — people ask questions to get information from actual users, not to become archaeologists digging through 8-year-old threads

@Kraisun-Tunta maybe this is the case on Reddit. But in a Forum you actually search before asking…

So far I’ve used only H10 and no problems whatsoever for me. Works fine with ZoneSense.
