S9 baro WHR issues

florin2528

Hi all,

I have a S9 baro, with a Smart sensor for HR. Since a couple of months ago the smart sensor was giving some bad numbers. I changed the battery, and still the same, has almost 1 year and i thought that i have to change the belt.
Because of that i started to use WHR and if before the results were approximate ±10, now i get very strange results.
Uphill barely breathing and I get a constant 120-125, relaxed and breathing normally I get 180. I read and I know how to wear it.

I noticed this behavior since last update. Does anyone else have this issue?

Thank you,
Florin

P.S. can’t find on the market a new belt.

I have only one advice for you. If you haven’t tried it yet, try changing your arm. I get much better results on the right arm (the dominant one) while I usually wear the watch on the left arm.

The new suunto bands are very very precise, but as you rightly said, they are currently out of stock, you have to wait

Has anyone an idea why the straps are all out of stock? I tried several webshops who all claimed to have the belt in stock, but all failed to deliver.

@surfboomerang my guess is that being made in China production and shipping has been slowed down. I bought a strap + sensor (with the new strap) two weeks ago.

@isazi Did you bought it in Suunto’s web store or another place…In amazon is quite cheaper comparing to Suunto’s web store.

@cosmecosta I ordered it from Suunto’s store.

@isazi so which one has a new design - the belt or the sensor module, or both?

@vr2udt
The belt.

I received my new belt and could only test it today.
My suunto sensor was little hard to be plugged, and i can’t unplug it now .
Any tip? I don’t want to use any tool, and I may call suunto support before any hard attempt to unplug it.
Thanks, and sorry to hijack this post

WD40!

@Mff73 I had that same experience with my new belt. I returned the belt (with the sensor attached to it) to the shop. They had to send it for repair because they also couldn’t remove it without damaging the belt.

The new belt is still made in china ?

surfboomerang

@zhang965 yes.
