If I make watches stop unless I put a piece of felt or bandage on the back of the watch so that the metal does not touch my skin would the same thing work with the Inspire HR.  Not sure if I would make it stop like a watch.

If you put something, like a bandage, between the Inspire HR and your skin the HR functions (e.g. pulse monitor) will stop, I believe, but the device will still track your steps, etc (like a regular Inspire without the HR sensor).  Likewise, the connected GPS should continue to work.

@Nanner99 Your post is a little confusing, but no.  The Inspire HR won't just "stop" because you put something between your skin and the device.
