      @Brad_Olwin Do you now how much longer a Race or Race S battery will run if you use a belt instead of OHR?

        @VoiGAS No, my battery life estimates using the belt on longer activities show typically at the stated spec or greater. So for me using a belt and on maps some of the time I know I will get at least the stated spec. On some longer trail runs with the Vertical Solar my battery estimates have been 85-92h.

          In expensive Sweden the Suunto belt (including pod) was a mere ca 70 $US.

          I think that is similar to the price in Germany, 80 € with pod (and 40 € for a replacement belt without pod). Recently, it was 60 € and 30 € on suunto.com – just before belts regained popularity because of ZoneSense. 🤣

              @Luis-Andés-Olmedo out of curiosity, how long did you manage to get it run?
              I’ve had ohr and sleep tracking turned on and I needed to charge it today. It’s been 8 days and 20h.
              Today after the watch has charged to 100% I’m turning ohr and sleep tracking off.

                I charged it two days later with two hours more of GPS (one trail running activity using map and navigation). Battery was at 2%.

                  @Luis-Andés-Olmedo that’s awesome! I’ve turned of 24/7 measurements and will keep my eyes on battery life according to my usage. Will turn on ohr when exercising to make it as realistic as possible. At some point I want to test with a Suunto hr belt. That’ll wait for the future. Awesome to hear your experience and stats and thank you for sharing!

                    @Arju-Ambin you don’t need to turn on OHR when exercising if 24/7 HR is disabled. It will come on automatically.

                    You can turn OHR off if you want but by default it is on.

                      @Audaxjoe Awesome! That makes sense! Will test it out during workout tomorrow. Thanks for the heads-up.

                        Correct! that is my config: 24/7 OHR Off. The OHR automatically turns on when I start an activity.
