OHR durability and wearing outside clothes

A question to all of you who have been using a F3HR, F5 or F5plus.

During the cold period of the year I normally wear my watch on the outside of my clothes, no problem since it is (was) a F3. I recently switched to a F6X Sapphire and I'm a bit concerned about the OHR sensor, is it durable enough to wear outside the clothes for about 3-5 activities a week?

Best regards,
Tobias

It should be fine, you won't get optical HR obviously but aside from that being in contact with fabric shouldn't harm the sensor.

I'll add the the watch does have a setting they call "jacket mode", which is for exactly this situation. It quickly disables the OHR so you can wear the watch outside your shirt/jacket.

Thanks both Former Member and C.sco for the info!
