SSWHR + belt -> heart rate wrong

aldnet

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.

SlaSh

@aldnet omg, I never cleaned my hrm-tri and worked just fine

aldnet

@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?

suzzlo

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

Luís Pinto

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

suzzlo

@luís-pinto I started using with my Sony SW60 Android Wear smartwatch years ago, and still works well

Luís Pinto

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

SlaSh

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

Luís Pinto

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

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

Decathlon

I use scosche rhythm+ withous any issues as well, I do weight lifting so chest strap is not comfortable for me.

Luís Pinto

@slashas Yes, optic sensors in watch are more convenient.

SlaSh

@luís-pinto for weight lifting watch ohrm isnt the best solution cause of wrist move, but scosche on forearm works just flawless.

Luís Pinto

@slashas We can’t have everything…

For example a use dual protocol Decathlon HR sensor with a t-shirt with technical tissue that have belt inside. Its more comfortable.
I think optic or some type of new technology will improve.

@luís-pinto just to spice it up: ohr latetly also supports ibi (rr)

@slashas the schotche also supports ibi but it does it quite bad.

Luís Pinto

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos ibi rr?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@luís-pinto interbeat interval. Useful for hrv and vo2max

Ze Stuart

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos is this just IBI at rest, or in motion too? And, and: is there a device available to buy, or is this still testing?

SlaSh

@luís-pinto you are wrong, as I am hitting my chest quite frequently and this way I have broke hrm-tri and suunto sensors with dumbbell and weight bar. For running or biking this is ok, but not for weight lifting

aldnet

More tests, I use compex gel today, and with 2 trainings no problems. Tomorrow I will try with running, in fact where I have more problems with HR, let’s see what happen.

@slashas After writing my post I realize that HRM-Tri it’s only ANT+, so, as you say, no compatibility with Suunto Spartan.

If tomorrow it’s not working, apart of contacting Suunto, I will have the possibility to try a Decathlon belt, let’s see what happens.

Interesting Scosche rhythm+, I didn’t know this brand, I will take a look.

@Luís-Pinto optic sensors are more convenient, or comfortable, but in some scenarios are less precise that a belt hr.

Because someone speak about Polar belt, I remember using it some years ago and my experience was really bad.

Perhaps the problem it’s me

@aldnet Good news for the Compex trick
