Intermittent HR band disconnects
-
@MarkusG Ok, so getting another belt (other brand) won’t solve the issue then? It seems like I’ll have to settle with wrist HR until Suunto fixes this. Disappointing.

I have this issue you described with my SV1… it appeared after the last firmware update. I used two belts, one was really new, both belts the same crazy behavior. In my opinion, it’s the watch firmware.
-
Update: Seems like the connection problems were not fixed with the recent update. Probably the best bet is to send my HR belt to Suunto for replacement.

@JaakkoK I had so many issues with HRMs on the last firmware. Today’s run was flawless with the new firmware. I was not using a Suunto HRM though. I was using a Garmin HRM Pro + which was a boatload of trouble before. I also used the SV1 today. It might be the HRM.

@JaakkoK same.
My polar H10 connects ok and stays connected. My Suunto sensor connects then the connection ‘flaps’.
This was a replacement (last 12 months) for an older Suunto sensor. I was hoping this update would fix this, but it does seem to point to the sensor being faulty.
Maybe a bad batch?

This problem with Suunto HR Belt is still there, it’s not fixed… annoying

@SuperFlo75 Minę after update finally works SO FAR. Fingers crossed.

Aujourd’hui, c’était 1h30 de vélo. Toujours le même problème de déconnexion de la ceinture cardiaque (ceinture Suunto neuve)…
C’est frustrant.

Nope. Today it didn’t found my chest strap. Before start running I went to connected devices, chooses chest strap and couldn’t connect. I disconnected all devices (well, strap chest only) did soft reset of watch, and tried to connect it but my watch can’t find it. Strap was wet, on my chest, with brand new battery and of course connected on good side… There’s still problem with bluetooth

I had problems before with intermittent disconnects with the Suunto smart sensor and Polar Varity sense, but it wasn’t to bad or long.
On saturday I had my first total failure. Started the activity, on the startup screen it picked up the Polar Varity sense and connected to it. When the activity started the watch lost connection to it, and didn’t connect to it for the whole duration of activity (8 h).
The sensor was on and broadcasting over bluetooth.
This is a really bad bug. The OHR is not good enough for accurate tracking, and now the external sensors wont’ work.
