Smart watch as heart rate monitor

Hello - I have an Aleno trainer and would like to know if I can use my Suunto Smart watch as an heart rate monitor?

I also have an apple watch, but I believe Elite wont be allowing for that connectivity so was hoping there might be a method to connect my other smart watch.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi

As you know, the HR sensor must be paired with the device you use (and not with the Aleno).
Our application my e-training is able to detect any HR frequency sent through the ant+ or bluetooth smart standard protocol channel.
So, you have to check if your smart watch sent to the outside this kind of signal (usually smart watches doesn't do this, unfortunately).
I suggest you to contact the manufacturer
