      @vinc14 You must have an activity running for the belt to connect. You will see the HR icon appear with straps instead of just a heart.

        @Brad_Olwin @vinc14 I will also add that you can add the heart rate belt into your Suunto app and connect. Once connected it will show you your heart rate and this will show it is reading correctly. I’ve done this to make sure the belt is getting a good signal and that the battery is not dead.

        From there you can start an activity and the watch will pick it up (showing the green heart with lines)

            @Todd-Danielczyk do you know if that works with any HRM or just Suunto?

              @Audaxjoe Good question… I can check it tonight when I get home to see if it works with my other HR band (Coospo H808).
              I’ll keep you posted.

              Edit I am on Android so I will double confirm if it works or does not with my other “non-Suunto” HR belt - see below

                    @Audaxjoe so I checked the Coospo on the android app.

                    And… it works.

                      What?! Suunto smart heart rate belt - how to check if active and connected? (24).
                      So it doesn’t work with my veritysense on my android app, but is working with your non Suunto sensor.
                      Strange.

                        @Mff73 could be that both the Coospo and Suunto are not optical where your Polar is?

                        Might be that you need a resistance style to work.

                          Maybe, but optical or not, it is a BT device which is sending HR values. So why app won’t connect is a mystery.

                            @Todd-Danielczyk thank you, how do you find the coospo? And which model is it? I noticed then on Amazon at a very competitive price.

                              @Audaxjoe Works pretty good for me although I do like the Suunto HR better for mountain biking (gives slightly better consistency and I think it is due to the profile)

                              The Coospo H808S is the one I have and use it mainly with my indoor rower which runs Bluetooth/ Ant+ and connects just as fast as the Suunto when pairing to my watch. For the price, it is a solid choice and beep and color flash to let you know it locked/lost signal is a plus.
