which one is the source of pace and distance? Any way to find out?

Yeah, one person wears the watch and strap, other person stationary wears stryd pods.
Run around within connection distance.
Then switch the watch to other person and repeat the test.
Then remove the pods while belt is also stationary, and repeat test to rule out the watch is the source.
(watch is always running in all 3 tests…)

• Belt itself wider than the old one Exactly same size and hight

I have corrected myself…at sight it seems wider but it’s exactly same hight…

Actually, looking closer as I type this, that noise is when I had a headwind.

So that could be noise from static electricity if You wear loose nylon t-shirt.

@atoponce still rather noisy. For what it’s worth I make sure to position the sensor so that it doesn’t interfere with the running vest

[atoponce]

@snow Thanks, but I’m not wearing a vest. Just a tanktop. If I’m out for long runs though, I prefer waist belts.

Everything’s fine for me so far, the belt fits nicely. The only thing I’m struggling with is the black Suunto logo on the sensor. It used to be a reference point for me, and now that it’s dark in the morning, I have to check more carefully to make sure the belt is turned the right way. It’s a small ergonomic thing, but the white logo on my old belt used to help me.

now you have the tactile feedback of the button instead for positioning

[martintrail]

@Egika Oh, right! I didn’t think of that thanks

100km trail running race last w-end with my SV1 and the new belt : now that it’s well adjusted, it’s as confortable as the old one. And it doesn’t fall down in time.
Race metric in SA afterwards are limited with SV1 vs SRs, as mentionned.

[martintrail]

Hmm, I guess I cursed it. Today, ZoneSence didn’t start working until the end of my run. That never happened with my old heart rate monitor. What could it be?

[isazi]

@martintrail how’s the R-R plot?

[martintrail]

@isazi I see there are some unusual drops there. Could it be because the belt was too dry?

[isazi]

@martintrail if I am not mistaken, this is the HR plot, but the drops usually correlate with bad IBI data. If you can get the R-R plot, you should see noise

[martintrail]

@isazi Hmm, I don’t have any service that would show me that. Once I figure it out, I’ll send it here…

e.g. Runalyze tracks that data

@martintrail weird! it’s perfect

[martintrail]

@snow Yeah, it looks like it. I think I’ll try wetting the electrodes a little more and tightening the strap a bit more. No idea…This didn’t happen with my old Suunto strap.

[isazi]

@martintrail cannot see where the drops come from or why zonesense is not working from this, it seems that there is no noise in the data

[Tieutieu]

As anyone seen yet the new belt (without sensor) somewhere ?
My old ones are starting to decline.
