Improved OHR on Race 1 really?
-
corrected OHR on Race 1? I walked twice today. In the morning to work in the afternoon back home. I tested the improved OHR and I can say that it is a disaster… I attach photos. I have never had such fluctuations in heart rate while walking. Yes, it happened that it flew up here and there for about 2-5 minutes to a heart rate of 170 and then it dropped back down nicely, but after this update it is a complete tragedy. Does anyone have a similar experience?
Edit : i can not upload my photo.is too large -

has it been different before?
Does the watch sit tight on your arm?
Was it cold outside?So many thing that influence OHR. Even if the sensor and algorithms have been improved, it does not mean that it is 100% like a chest belt under all conditions.

@Egika It’s true that it’s brutally cold here at the moment. The temperature feels like -13 degrees. In the afternoon, it’s only -1, but I always wear my watch tightly when I’m active. I only wear it looser at night. The watch was under a thick winter jacket the whole time. Before that, my heart rate jumped to 150-170, but after a few minutes it dropped. It’s strange. It was just a regular walk that I don’t really care about, but it surprised me quite a bit. I use the Coros HRM for running and I have the heart rate from the watch turned off.

@Egika here is screen
from my app -
Warm up the arms before starting the run. There is less blood flow that is why

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos this was. walking. the hand was covered by a jacket

@Miroslava yes ok but that doesnt mean that bloodfflow is ok at -13 for example. In general avoid trusting ohr at cold temps.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Sure, I just reported that there are fluctuations. I’ll test it when it’s warmer. It doesn’t really matter, I use coros hrm for running.this was only walking
-
that’s why I was asking for the temperature
In general I suggest Suunto tinkers with OHR only during spring or summer time - then the feedback will be better
