How to Replace Battery in Suunto Smart Sensor HR Belt

[@dfcx1]

I've ruined two Polar H10s by using CR2032s instead of CR2025s by accident (they look identical at a quick glance and everything else uses CR2032s so I have lots of them). The thicker battery makes the O-ring seal not seal properly and sweat gets inside. I don't know about Suunto Smart Sensor specifically but I wouldn't risk it.

Does the strap need to be re-paired with devices when a new battery is installed?

[@HowToPM]

Replacing the battery is the only thing that will need to be done. ;)

No beating around the bush, no bullshit, just solid and simple advice. 6/5 very helpful

[@shamim64]

Very helpful 👌

[@frankmertens6430]

Did you need to reconnect the sensor with the watch afterwards?

[@HowToPM]

No

What app do u use wit the strap? Use to have Movescount and it worked fine. Now new app doesnt seem to work with it or my battery is too low so the bt cant pair with it.

[@HowToPM]

Hi Amir. I never tried the strap with an app. I always used it with a watch.

Do you swim with your HR sensor? Just wondering if the larger battery might affect how well it seals.

[@HowToPM]

Hi Sean! Well I do not swim very often but I did few time last week and I had no problem with water getting in. However, I did realise that my watch did'nt see my heart rate into water.

Thank you

do I need to take the sensor off of the belt after my workout?

[@HowToPM]

Nha. I never do that and the battery last for a very long time. The device is activated by your sweat on your workout so it stop working few minutes after you remove it.

[@painrelieverstech]

Is it better than Polar H10?

[@HowToPM]

I think Polar is a leader in HR sensor.

[@mylenedanvoye9477]

ok preatty easy. But how long does your battery last?

[@HowToPM]

So long that I don't even remember the last time I did it. Probably around a year with 7 to 20 hours a week of use.

Thank you !!!!

There must something wrong with mine then...i've to replace the battery after a few hours....what could it be? I usually remove the sensor when i'm done too.

[@HowToPM]

Humm. Probably a bad battery. Mines work for... Month, maybe sometime a year. And I exercise at least 1h a day, every day. And I never rome the sensor at the end. Try with good battery. I use those one : geni.us/CR2032e

[@merakko]

@@HowToPM I don't know if the battery brand is the main problem, I used both Varta and Duracell and I was able to use it for a couple of times, like 3 hours in total. I did pair the belt just with the watch so maybe the sensor is damaged? It's not new, I got it years ago and it never really lasted that long... a month or 2 with 10 hours of usage per week I would say.

[@chriswright9096]

I prefer to use a coin to open the battery cover. Less chance of breaking the cover.

[@merakko]

A little update, i gave up in buying regular batteries cuz i would have spent a fortune. Actually can barely go past a couple of hours of energy. I guess the problem is the sensor itself cuz i always remove it from the belt and it's not connected with my phone or anything. I think i will just give up and get a new watch with Wrist HR unless there's a reasonably cheap alternative to the suunto official HR BEL / MOVESENSE.

[@HowToPM]

Hum. This is weird. I remember the battery was lasting for months when I was using it. I would give a try with those great quality battery and if it not working, this is by far my favorite watch ever : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uch4yFaNt-iJI
