FAQs

Yes, the Suunto Smart Heart Rate Belt is water-resistant up to 30 meters and is suitable for swimming and other water sports.
Do I need to wear a Suunto watch for it to work?
While it offers R-R memory for recording without a watch, for real-time data display and analysis, it needs to be connected via Bluetooth Smart to a compatible Suunto watch or a smartphone with the Sports Tracker app.
How long does the battery last?
The belt provides up to 500 hours of usage on a single CR2025 battery.
What size is the included strap?
The belt included in the package is typically size M. Spare straps in sizes S and L are available for separate purchase.
How do I clean the heart rate belt?
Rinse the belt with clean water after each use. Periodically hand wash the strap with mild soap and water, detaching the transmitter module first. Allow it to air dry completely.
What devices is this belt compatible with?
It is compatible with Suunto watches (3, 5, 9, Spartan, Ambit3, Traverse) and the Sports Tracker app on Android and iOS devices.
Can I use this belt with other fitness apps?
It can be used with other fitness apps that support standard Bluetooth Smart (BLE) heart rate profiles, provided your device can connect to it.
Troubleshooting
Belt not transmitting heart rate data
Ensure the electrodes are moist. Check that the transmitter module is securely attached. Verify the belt is paired correctly with your device and within range. Replace the CR2025 battery if it is depleted.
Inaccurate or erratic heart rate readings
Moisten the electrode areas thoroughly. Ensure the belt is positioned correctly and snug against the skin. Check for any obstructions or damage to the electrodes. Clean the belt as per care instructions.
Difficulty pairing with a device
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Put the heart rate belt into pairing mode (often by moistening electrodes and wearing it). If already paired, try 'forgetting' the device in your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the belt.
Strap feels uncomfortable or too loose/tight
Adjust the strap length for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure good skin contact without restricting breathing. If the included size M strap is not suitable, consider purchasing a separately available size S or L strap.
