@herlas said in race 2 + HR strap = :
current design to connect to HR devices is for each sports mode to remember the HR device it connected to and next time you open the same sport mode it’ll try to connect automatically to that device only
That’s how it is supposed to work, but it doesn’t quite work that way. Here’s an issue that I have just experienced today:
On my trail run profile, the watch is paired to Coros HRM. On my road run profile the last few times I used the built-in wrist HR sensor.
Yesterday I couldn’t find find my Coros HRM so I used the run profile with the built-in HRM. Today as I was wearing Coros HRM and about to start a trail run, the watch showed a popup telling me that Coros HRM was connected. Good! But since the run profile was preselected, it was flashing the built-in HRM icon trying to obtain the lock. OK, since that was the wrong sport profile, I went ahead and changed the profile to trail run. Nevertheless the watch continued to try to obtain the built-in HRM lock rather than switching to Coros HRM, despite the fact that the built-in HRM is explicitly turned off for trail run profile. So basically it was stuck - trying to use built-in HRM without success because it is turned off rather than using Coros HRM that it told me it has already successfully connected to. What a mess! To me this looks like this has never been properly tested!
In the past when I tried to use a mix of Coros HRM and Suunto HRM on different profiles, it was even worse.
