Suunto Watches that work With the Polar H10 Heart Rate Strap

Well Im looking at the ambit 3 for sure. However some of their new watches look nice too. I really want HR strap training load and Training Effect along with GPS. Almost to many to choose from. I wish my Ambit 2 worked with Bluetooth!

You can buy any+\Bluetooth strap like the one from decathlon, that way it will work with your current ambit 2 and if you buy an ambit 3 or newer it remains compatible.

@isazi I don’t find “Suunto strap” on the official website…
Does this Suunto strap is also compatible ANT+ and Bluetooth ?
Does this Suunto strap has very high accuracy as Polar H10 ?

Only bluetooth.
Maybe the ANT+ was discontinued.

Suunto Comfort Belts were ANT, not ANT+, meaning that they were usable only with Suunto watches. And originally Ambit1 & Ambit2 could be paired only with those Suunto-branded ANT-belts. Those were discontinued around the same time Ambit1 & Ambit2 received updates that enabled proper ANT+ support.

For Ambit2 it doesn’t make much difference which ANT+ belt you are using, watch does not support HR cache syncing anyway ( nor tid Suunto Comfort Belt). What might work is some ANT+ optical HR (e.g. Polar OH1) that you can wear close enough to your watch. .

OK, so I will probably buy the H10 because ANT+ compatibility with my Ambit2, and also Bluetooth for other device in same time. Moreover, I would like to have an good accuracy. If I bought a Suunto9, I can still use this H10 also.
In case of swimming, I will use the wrist HR on the Suunto9.

What size do you use with H10 Polar belt ?
I’m a chest of 83cm / 32,6inches, I think M-XXL is the correct one, maybe XS-S will be too small.

Thank you

Go with M-XXL, smaller is way too short for you

I’m just few cm more and happy with M, and there’s still plenty of room to tighten it.

Hello,

Thanks for your help. I received this week my H10. The size M-XXL is the correct one for me.
The H10 broadcast directly the data in ANT+ and Bluetooth, no need to set. So it’s work fine with my Ambit2 and iPad.
