Suunto Smart sensor vs other belt-sensors
-
To any of the insiders (maybe you know):
Do you see a possibility (maybe over an update or so), that the Sunnto Belt will be able to have connection to multiple devices (for example a watch and ZWIFT).
Or is it limited by the hardware and would need a new version of the Belt?
-
@Stoke80 Only 1:1, I would be more than happy to see multiple connections with a new belt upgrade
-
@robis
Thank you. Yes I know, only 1 connection.
The question was if it might be possible in the future that the current version can do two connections?
-
I have switched from Suunto HR belt to the Coros HR sensor and I am very happy with it. It’s very comfortable and (for me) accurate. Can only recommend.

there’s no way to upgrade the sensor to my knowledge, as said I hope in a new edition

@robis
Thx again. I slighlty missread your first answer, sorry. -
Hey Suunto ‘Gang’!
I am looking into experimenting a chest heart rate monitor, mostly for my weight training sessions as the wrist heart rate is usually reporting a lower HR on quick push (hr spikes). As I’m located in Thailand i can’t get the Suunto stripe (band) it’s been out of stock for months. in the meantime I was thinking of purchasing a cheaper band as a ‘test unit’.
Does any of you have experience with the one from Decathlon (Kalenji)?
*ps: once I pair my external HR sensor do I need to turn off the 24/7 HR monitor or wil the external sensor have priority for HR transmission when paired?Cheers!

iirc it works
the external sensor have priority for HR transmission when paired?
yes it takes over, you can check by observing 2 small wings on the heart and no you do not need to turn off the 24/7 HR
-
@robis Great! Thank you so much for your input
-
@RaDeck considering we live in different countries to make sure we are talking about the same chest strap model please verify that it is bluetooth smart
-
@RaDeck My girlfriend is using it with her S9PP and the HR transmission is good. But the quality of the belt not so much. The stitching here is coming off. But hey, you still have warranty.
-
@robis cheers, will do! (it is
) -
@tomasbartko beaut’! Thank you so much for the hands-on input!!
Yeah stitching should be a huge issue, even if it comes off. Thanks A LOT

@RaDeck
I’ve been using this belt for the last 3 months. I can confirm it works. I’m no expert on the quality of data, but to me, it seems consistent with my personal perceived effort. -
Great to hear, thx @Prenj !

Hi guys,
anyone knows if the Suunto Smart Belt R-R memory function is compatible with the new Suunto RACE? This model isn’t listed in the description of that belt on the Suunto web site:

@SteM64 yes. that page needs to be updated
-
@SteM64 The memory is compatible with all current Suunto watches and many in the past.
-
Thanks for the answers!

Hi All, I wanted to give a quick feedback after having used the Kalenji BT chest HR band for the past 3 weeks. The connection to Suunto is absolutely straight forward and the HR belt gets recognize in a matter of seconds every time I start a new workout. Thanks to Suunto here for offering an amazing compatibility with external sensors! As far as data goes: the difference is day and night! The chest band follows every HR peak of my weight training! No more 80ish HR after a series of heavy squats (now I get in the 150s BPM, which is my reel feel too).
So to anyone thinking of getting a chest band: GO FOR IT (as soon as the Suunto will be available here I might upgrade mine, but working as a charm for the time being)!
