Hi Ammond. Been looking at your latest Ambit recordings. Yours seen to be more consistent than Ray's recording with less discontinuities. Are you using the dual HR belt or the memory belt?

I am using the ANT belt that came with the Ambit - I do have a memory belt that I hope will pair with the Ambit, but I have not tried it.

olin 29.3.2012

I have found out that the memory belt is much more reliable than the comfort or dual belts. I am using it on an every day basis and am quite happy with it. Only the Garmin premium belt is a bit better, but it does not record in the water...

olin 29.3.2012

And is not compatible with the Suunto devices of course.

ammond 30.3.2012

Interesting - I recall that Suunto has described the new ANT belt sold w/ the Ambit as a better solution than the dual HR. Have you tried that one?

olin 30.3.2012

No I have not. I had so many problem with the dual HR belt that I gave up trying to get it repaired under warranty. It's never been working correctly. The comfort belt was working better but I had to spray a contact cleaner on the belt clips before each workout to minimize the data corruption.

bradolwin 2.4.2012

I am using the dual comfort belt with my Ambit and it is working very well. I do not seem to have discontinuities in my HR. I will look more closely at yours ammond and see if they differ from mine.

19.7.2011

know how long I will keep doing so. Since you are a Mac fan Google rubiTrack. It imports both Suunto XML and Garmin XML from your library automatically! It stores everything locally and is pretty nice. It will also export Suunto files as tcx files (Garmin Std.) to use in other programs like Training Peaks. email me if you want more info mart owl@mac.com

Hi Ammond, thanks for the shout on my race. I bought the 610 but returned it for 2 reasons. 1: battery life, for my training and racing is just not long enough; 2. the power save feature if you stop for more than 60 sec, which I do to filter water, aid stations, etc is a pain. I love the form factor, the watch is great and if it had 15h or better battery I would have kept it. Returned it for the 310XT so I use both. I don't merge these but I manually import into Movescount and don't cont....

How is the footpod, did you get it yet?

29.4.2011

Let me know if you get the new footpod. I have the GPS pod too and I prefer the footpod for running, instant on and long battery life for the ultras I do.
