HR sensor always on

Hi all,

My F5x optical HR sensor is always on and it affects battery. In my F3HR the optical HR sensor wasn't always on. How do your optical HR sensors work? Always on?

Thanks and regards.

    On the F3HR the HR was taken periodically throughout the day.

    With the 5X the HR is taken constantly (I think every second but close enough). The new sensor is more efficient than the one in the F3HR.

    My battery life seems about the same (Had the F3HR since the first week it was available and ditto with the F5X).
