      @slashas said in SSWHR + belt -> heart rate wrong:

      @dimitrios-kanellopoulos if synthetic clothes affect belt this is HW design flaw, I haven’t had any issues with hrm-run or wahoo belts.

      Sure no doubt about that. However it could have been specific combinations or so.

        @dimitrios-kanellopoulos I am using synthetic clothes so seems electrostatic affected my belt.

            @dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks. Actually I was familiar with those and I’ve personally had problems like described, with my earlier devices (battery low, loose synthetic shirts, dirty electrodes). But I’ve never had this kind of quite steady readings.
            The things that still make me think, if this could be a hardware or software issue, are that:

            • during the two months I’ve had this SSWHR, I have had more than four weeks break from training and anyway I don’t train daily -> belt should not be very dirty yet. Gonna try washing it, just to be sure.
            • during the two months I’ve had this SSWHR, I’ve used same kind of training clothes, so I suppose I should have come across with this more frequently.
            • this time I had worn the belt about 20 mins before starting the ride and hr looked fine before starting the training. I rode that 6 mins wondering if my hr was really so low (70-90 bpm), started the new training without even touching the belt and got right reading right away.
              Quite strange, I think.

              @Jani-Kaikkonen let my say another example or at least how I understand if the belt is not ok:

              • It starts but takes a few more to lock and shows a normal value. Then if I walk etc the value changes slowly. Then when I start the activty it does not work well. Then I pause do not stop change my HR and works again.

              It is more of an issue belt + module in my opinion rather than SW.

              You can, as other users have, change the belt to another and test against SW (eg a different brand). From what I can concentrate from the web is people that have done that have found piace of mind.

                @jani-kaikkonen I can reply with confidence that it’s not a SW issue on the watch.

                  @dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes, electrostatic from the car once opening the door and boom this, photo is not mine but the same happened to mine, so if you know who is willing to buy F5 show this photo of the poor HW design and high price 🙂

                      @dimitrios-kanellopoulos ok. I’ll try washing the belt first, but if it still happens, I need to try another sensor+belt. Thank you.

                        Hi,
                        In my case, I had the same problem as you, an imprecise HR reading, so I had the idea, in addition to the recommended cleaning, to use a Compex gel for electrodes. Since then no more reading errors. I found mine in a Decathlon (I do not know if the sign exists in your country).
                        Have a good day

                            I’m having the same problem, sometimes, data from belt is non-sense, I will try to use with Compex to see if this could resolve the problem, because following the instructions, I clean up the belt after 3-4 uses.

                                @slashas 😅 😅

                                You have seen the strange behaviour of my belt, last chance, if not, I will speak with the support team.

                                You are using hrm-tri with your suunto?

                                  @aldnet Sometimes I use Decathlon belt or H7 polar belt, and without problems…

                                    @suzzlo yes, and i don’t want to make publicity but take a look to the price of Decathlon belt… compared to others.

                                        @suzzlo Sometimes 3rd parts have quality. And in our days came from China interesting gadgets.

                                          @aldnet no, broke it long time ago, I use scosche. BTW hrm-tri is only ANT+ so wont work with spartan line.

                                            @slashas Take a look for dual BLE+Ant solution in Decathlon. Not a single problem until now (1 year).
