SSWHR + belt -> heart rate wrong

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Jani-Kaikkonen let my say another example or at least how I understand if the belt is not ok:

• It starts but takes a few more to lock and shows a normal value. Then if I walk etc the value changes slowly. Then when I start the activty it does not work well. Then I pause do not stop change my HR and works again.

It is more of an issue belt + module in my opinion rather than SW.

You can, as other users have, change the belt to another and test against SW (eg a different brand). From what I can concentrate from the web is people that have done that have found piace of mind.

@jani-kaikkonen I can reply with confidence that it’s not a SW issue on the watch.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes, electrostatic from the car once opening the door and boom this, photo is not mine but the same happened to mine, so if you know who is willing to buy F5 show this photo of the poor HW design and high price

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@slashas ok wow

[Jani Kaikkonen]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos ok. I’ll try washing the belt first, but if it still happens, I need to try another sensor+belt. Thank you.

Hi,
In my case, I had the same problem as you, an imprecise HR reading, so I had the idea, in addition to the recommended cleaning, to use a Compex gel for electrodes. Since then no more reading errors. I found mine in a Decathlon (I do not know if the sign exists in your country).
Have a good day

@frédéric-fiandino

I’m having the same problem, sometimes, data from belt is non-sense, I will try to use with Compex to see if this could resolve the problem, because following the instructions, I clean up the belt after 3-4 uses.

@aldnet omg, I never cleaned my hrm-tri and worked just fine

@slashas

You have seen the strange behaviour of my belt, last chance, if not, I will speak with the support team.

You are using hrm-tri with your suunto?

[suzzlo]

@aldnet Sometimes I use Decathlon belt or H7 polar belt, and without problems…

[Luís Pinto]

@suzzlo yes, and i don’t want to make publicity but take a look to the price of Decathlon belt… compared to others.

[suzzlo]

@luís-pinto I started using with my Sony SW60 Android Wear smartwatch years ago, and still works well

[Luís Pinto]

@suzzlo Sometimes 3rd parts have quality. And in our days came from China interesting gadgets.

[SlaSh]

@aldnet no, broke it long time ago, I use scosche. BTW hrm-tri is only ANT+ so wont work with spartan line.

[Luís Pinto]

@slashas Take a look for dual BLE+Ant solution in Decathlon. Not a single problem until now (1 year).

@luís-pinto said in SSWHR + belt -> heart rate wrong:

Decathlon

I use scosche rhythm+ withous any issues as well, I do weight lifting so chest strap is not comfortable for me.

[Luís Pinto]

@slashas Yes, optic sensors in watch are more convenient.

[SlaSh]

@luís-pinto for weight lifting watch ohrm isnt the best solution cause of wrist move, but scosche on forearm works just flawless.

[Luís Pinto]

@slashas We can’t have everything…

For example a use dual protocol Decathlon HR sensor with a t-shirt with technical tissue that have belt inside. Its more comfortable.
I think optic or some type of new technology will improve.
