      Hi, I’ve always read about the fact that the RS have an improved new OHR sensor with 4 leds, instead of 2 as in other models, providing more accurate readings.
      Just by chance, yesterday I noted on the RS of my wife that during normal HR monitoring only two leds are on, green leds, as on my Race, while the other two, emitting red light, turn on only when the blood oxygen is being measured.
      So, I wonder if the new OHR sensor of the Race S does really improve the HR readings, as usually stated, or the improvement is limited the blood oxygen measurements only.

        @Stefano-M64 Actually the new sensor in Race S has 1 green emitting LED. No idea which second you found. Can you show a picture?
        The improved precision comes from 4 detectors. The idea is, that one detector probably has a bad reception (maybe there are hairs or something else), then others can take over and the sensor is constantly deciding, which detector signal to trust.

          @Egika Hi, thanks for your replay, it’s likely I was still sleepy … I could check it again, but have no reasons to doubt what you say! 😉
