I give myself an answer, since I bought the watch a few weeks ago. With the right settings, without any particular energy apart from the brightness, yesterday I did 6 hours of navigation and I returned home with 40% of battery. Not bad, I had the same average with ambit 3, about 10% / hour
@Brad_Olwin
The Ambit2 and Ambit3 series of watches do let you edit the POI during the process of adding one on the watch itself. I had a Vertical model before switching to a Spartan. I thought I remembered doing this and recently reconfirmed this with an Ambit3 owner on another forum just to to be sure. I’m thinking of switching back to an Ambit3 Peak from my Spartan. Never been totally happy with my Spartan and it seems Suunto is never going to add back some of these features I consider critical for my use. I’ve been waiting 2 years now and still can’t do this on the Spartan. Not that they ever promised they were planning this feature, but for backcountry use, it’s kinda important if you ask me. Now with an impending move to SA from MC in the next 12 months, and zero indication that I’ll even still be able to do POI from a phone or web app…well, I might as well pick up a Peak that can function standalone if I have to.
Garmin is not an option. Their GPS accuracy on the Fenix line of watches is questionable. And Garmin evidently can’t get altimeter accuracy figured out either.
So it’s back to the Ambit3 Peak I guess for the most functionality. Better GPS over both the Vertical and Spartan, and I can manually enter a destination right on the watch from a map or mapping software on my phone. And if Suunto ever gets off the pot and does this right, maybe I can move back to a newer model.
@sartoric nada nor if its calibrated. In general 10s of that movement is ok. If it was really $#@ in terms of reading it will force you to calibrate it with the notification.
@Ville-Halmes yup, pretty much the same thing I experience every time I start an exercise with my HR smart sensor on my Suunto 9. The start up screen shows HR belt has been found and it shows a reasonable HR value. Starting the exercise and no HR is shown for about 30s. Sometimes this shows later after uploading to movescount as zero or 200bpm+ values. All pretty rubbish. This occurred on my first smart sensor with both an old strap and new strap, it also occurs on my new smart sensor on a new strap.
I’m thinking that will be a cheaper version (materials) of the S9
S9 Baro can do everything if they allow it to do it.
With the HRV tracking & using a proper algorithm can tell your stress, regeneration, sleep quality, fitness, etc.
It must allows 24/7 hrv tracking && export ALL the data…
@vietpq
As I also said many times, it works for me since ages, with custom mode + routes in SA, and MCapp.
Btw, if it doesn’t work for some of you, the question is to find why
It could be a nice bug found
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
From Suunto’s legal perspective it should be definitely better to note it on manuals (and I guess they pay attention to this) and that’s why I supposed it was ok to press it
1.2.1 (6332) tried to force failures by launching the app´s at the same time, in inverted order, close / open another while executing earlier. No issues, no blocks, no restarts except as usual. Bluetooth link is always interrupted and is not possible sincronize nothing. I SSU owner!
I still use Movescount. Suunto App is getting better but I am not ready to switch for a number of reasons:
a) Lack of a good web interface like Movescount.
b) Lack of support for POIs and Waypoints
c) Lack of some metrics like cadence, temperature, EPOC, etc
d) Can’t easily copy dozens of my routes from Movescount
e) Would like to be able to sync with two watches
In general I tend to use the app only for the sync and do all the analysis in desktop browser on the web. So the functionality of the app doesn’t matter that much to me, but the platform matters way more.
I do no manual corrections and FusedAlti works extremely well. Here is a link to last Sunday’s climb/SkiMo in another forum. Some of our climb was quite steep 50°
