Smart sensor
-
Currently we have to use the MC app to update smart sensor . Will this be included in this app or is smart sensor no longer being developed/updated. I see that it is a requirement to have a smart sensor for recording swimming but any other blue tooth belt is compatible with watches for HR / running etc, if I have understood correctly .

@garyhenwoodfox Uhmmm very good question…
I’m looking for new band for triathlon, and @SlaSh recommend me some of then, like Polar H10. Anyone nows if it’s compatible with our Spartan in multisport or triathlon or just in Swim mode? Or should I go directly to Suunto Smart Sensor? -
@suzzlo I do not think it is compatible in swin mode, sorry.
-
@marius-jacobsen-eggerud
No it isn’t compatible, unfortunately. The suunto smart sensor doesn’t last very long… -
@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud @johan6504
so,
- Polar H10: not compatible
- Suunto Smart Sensor: very old and perhaps will be discontinued
- any other option?
-
What about the all-new Scosche Rhythm 24.
It now definitely has internal memory and can be used for swimming.
It is compatible with the Suunto … although I don’t know what data can be transferred to the watch/SA directly.
The monitor is not listed on the scosche-website, but available directly on Amazon and other pages (and no I have not ordered it until now … although I would really love to)Links

@shrek3k no compatible with the use of neoprene
-
PErhaps a solution :
Keep the Suunto belt for swimming (if you have one) and use another for running etc?
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I need to buy one (new or used…)
-
Why Polar H10 is not compatible ?
-
@frédéric-fiandino it is but Polars/Suuntos tech for memory doe not lets us transfer to from one to another. Only for memeroy
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos with PolarH10/Spartan we have only live data ?
-
@garyhenwoodfox AFIK only one update to the sensor was enabled. I personally have had very little trouble with the Smart Sensor and I especially like leaving the watch in the gym for gym workouts, the sensor records all HR and syncs when I get back to my locker.
-
@suzzlo They are not expensive on Amazon (US).

Yes

Yes and the reason why is because both companies play stupid with just following one protocol.
-
Pretty sure the Smart Sensor will continue to be developed if this is any indication: https://www.movesense.com/
@Brad_Olwin is right about the belts though, they fail pretty much in 6-9 months. This seems like something Suunto should address or that one of the Movesense partners could cash in on…

All , The question here is that we have a product the “Smart sensor module”, that is currently supported by MC to update if required. If MC is being phased out - and we have no definitive answer, how will the Smart señor be supported in the future ? I have see some articles lately saying the smart sensor was the smallest and technology advanced and being developed further.
Unfortunately we have not been told what the constraints are for the is new app. Eg what products eg watches , blue tooth, communication - (phone- app- web site) the new app should support. Us as a forum can then report back confirming functionality. There is no point asking for various statistics to be shown if the app cannot support a certain product leading to confusion and customer dissatisfaction or sattissfaction . Sorry :-morning rant.

@garyhenwoodfox dont worry about updates for sensor, if MC will pass away and it won’t happen tomorrow suunto will provide other way for updates, just calm down and go for workout
