Dumb(?) question Suunto T4

[Alathea]

Im assuming that the Suunto's with the training straps get the heart rate from there, and not from a module in the watch itself, thus no strap, no pulse functions?

I might be getting t4 from the forum, but there was a t3 with no strap there too-does the lack of strap make the watch basically useless for fitness functions?

Yep, the strap measures your heart rate.

I think a strap could be purchased on its own and synced to your watch.

Cool. Thanks! Hopefully the other guy with the strap and watch will get back to me.
