Smart Sensor HR belt: memory function with other belts?
-
Hi there! I use the Suunto Smart HR belt and I find it particularly useful when I leave the watch in the locker or in the backpack and use the memory or “standalone” function of the sensor during an activity. After, the watch and the sensor synchronize seamlessly.
My question is if, to anybody’s knowledge, this feature is present in other HR belts or armbands. The Polar H10 seems quite notorious and Coros has its HR armband, but I don’t know of any other manufacturer than Suunto offering such function.

I understand that if the protocol used is the general BLE then there’s cross-compatibility? -

There is no cross-compatibility reading the stored exercise data from belt memory between brands.
