Broadcast Heart Rate

[Patrick Löffler]

@suzzlo Hm. Polar announced they will add heart rate broadcasting via Firmware Update to their Grit X and Vantage V2. So seems possible without HW change.

Broadcast via BT smart it’s (should be) possible, after pairing … the real question is “is it worth?”
I’m not sure about data accuracy and battery drain

[suzzlo]

@sartoric @Patrick-Löffler sorry guys, but broadcast and sharing with multiple devices is not exactly same thing.

What I see in Polar new implementation, is that you need to add the devices you want to share with https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/04/a-look-at-polars-new-heart-rate-broadcasting-for-apps-like-zwift-and-peloton.html

Anyway, sharing HR with multiple devices would be good, but I doubt Suunto will implement that, since is not implementing support for multiple sensors at the same time like Cadence Sensor + Speed Sensor (for bikes)

polar made something for team training, I don’t think suunto will make the same stuff, but for professional training polar is better.

Polar has HR belt for horses as well

@zhang965 Suunto is not doing solutions for team sports analytics, right. But instead it offers a solutions for other firms to build that. For example, FirstBeat were using Suunto’s HRM tech for team sports solutions https://www.firstbeat.com/en/team-solutions/ (More partners at https://www.movesense.com/)

Nice, got it.

@patrick-löffler I think that the S7 can (with a third party app).

[Bulkan]

@isazi yes, it can with that app.

I used in the trainer and zwift.

@bulkan Awesome! Thank you very much! Any opinion on the heart rate accuracy of the 7?

I started my weight loss training with one of those and after successfully loosing pounds switched to the Polar H10
