Paul Ruinaard Posted October 27, 2013 Share Okay - so I have a Suunto Ambit and a Garmin 800. So now I want to use one HR strap for both. Both say they are ANT+ compatible but they don't seem to be able to see each others strap. Am i missing something? is there possibly a third party strap that both will recognise? Anyone else solved this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baaisikilist Posted October 27, 2013 Share I'm assuming you've tried pairing them properly with the garmin...?It should work. I use a Cycleops Powercal band with my 800 and they paired perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ruinaard Posted October 27, 2013 Share how do you do the pairing - looked at the setup but cant see an option. Is there an external third party chest strap that is better than the manufacturers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted October 27, 2013 Share I use a Suunto Ambit 2 as well as a Edge 810. I use the Garmin belt with both and it works perfectly. I have never tried to use the Suunto belt for the Garmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted October 27, 2013 Share I have the very same problem. The 800 says "multiple HR monitors detected" Yes or no? Still cannot work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted October 27, 2013 Share A suggestion is to check if you have the latest version of the firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davem Posted October 27, 2013 Share Suunto uses ANT (Suunto proprietary). Garmin will not read the Suunto belt. Garmin uses an ANT+, an industry standard. Suunto will, however, read ANT+ from any manufacturer. One of Suunto's stupidest ideas. Otherwise brilliant technology. Note that the older T series do not read ANT+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambit was not ANT+ compatible on release. Check your Ambit firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
