Suunto Smart sensor vs other belt-sensors

@Mattg576 Indeed! I have done this too - and belt life can be prolonged by using some contact cleaner on the module connectors, but eventually the belt will still need replacing!

@Swaddy61, thanks for your point of view. My belt is well over two years old, so I think it’s indeed time to change it. I will keep the Suunto smart strap because in summer, I swim in open water, and it has this feature for recording hours during the swim.

@Mattg576 , thanks a lot for the video. Also, I’ve tested my strap, and it does not conduct well anymore—although I’ve always followed the maintenance and cleaning instructions to ensure it has a long life.

First time since a while with a new Suunto Smart sensor (after some monthes of use of Coros OHR arm band).

During my first 10min warmup at constant endurance pace, I had two sharp rises of HR, for sure not realistic. Does anybody else has already had this ?
