over the metal surface on top of the SHRM2 module

afaik module’s surface isn’t conductive. Where did you get that information?

[Speed Man]

@snow I think it might be metal because it looks and feels quite hard.

[atoponce]

@Egika Yup. Optical armband, so no R-R data and no ZoneSense.

The SHRM2 is significantly worse than my Polar H10. I purchased it because it promised artifact rejection at the module, but I’m seeing a lot more noise.

same merino tshirt (most recent activities were more or less the same)
I wonder if the skin-contact surfaces (polyurethane according to Suunto’s specs) could improve their contact with the skin over repeated use and washing (only rinse it with warm water and no detergent)

Hello my belt is completely discharged in 3 days I had already mentioned the problem which remained active even without the green led am I the only one?

If you haven’t already done so, I recommend performing a factory reset (press and hold the button for 20 seconds until you see a sequence of blue, red, and green led lights. hope it fixes the issue… btw ofc change the battery before trying this!

Hello I think the battery is there for a lot it was covered with sticky products and there seems to be a micro hole on it

Treadmill - 8x3x1 minute intervals…brutal

it really does seem I’ve finally found the right setup

@snow Wow, what is your secret?

[snow*]

@VoiGAS the merino wool tshirt and a very light layer of gel (a water-soluble electrolyte solution) covering the entire conductive area of the strap, which means I no longer have to soak the strap completely as I used to. Well to be honest this one was with a 100% poly tshirt

[Egika]

Crosstrainer. Long sleeve shirt, I spit a little on both contact pads before putting the belt on. No need to soak it or so…

This is the only sensible method. If we had to resort to wardrobe changes or gels regularly there’s a design floor. (Based on two decades of licking so, so many chest straps!)
