Hi Guys

I have recently bought a Suunto 5 but am concerned the HR reading I receive from having the watch on my wrist is slightly inaccurate. I am therefore looking at a chest mounted HR monitor to feed the info to my watch. Apart from the suunto heart rate chest rig are there any other systems that would work with a Suunto 5?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Simon

Chest straps are definitely more accurate. But are also cold when you put them on!
Why not use a Suunto own brand chest strap? The likelyhood of another runner knowing what other straps are compatible with a Suunto 5 is absolutely minimal, unless they Google it - which you could do?

IIRC the suunto 5 uses bluetooth rather than ANT+, which may limit your choice of alternatives.

The Garmin HRM-Pro has dual connectivity, Bluetooth and ANT+

Polar H9 is BT and ANT+ compatible too.
