@thanasis said in Battery drain:

I think I identified a new pattern for the battery drain without actually starting the exercise

Navigate to quick start menu of a exercise (eg running)
Configure setting
Abort (go back)
Did it twice after I had resettled the watch from an exercise and I got like 1% drain per hour on idle

@isazi Do you know if this one is also confirmed by Suunto (and not fixed yet)? I think I ran into the same issue last week.
During an evening run, I enalbed the backlight of the watch during the activity. Afterwards, I went into the options of my running profile to check if it was a one time setting or that the backlight was enabled now for every future running activity. It was off, so I exited the config menu.

After that, I noticed a huge battery drain of around 10% per day where 1-2% per day is my baseline.

@Michael-Schmidt I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. Suunto’s attitude to the notifications seems to be that they show the first couple of sentences - whether that’s an email, a txt, a social media message etc. Generally this gives you enough to know whether to go to the relevant app on your phone but they aren’t aiming to replace the need to use your phone in most cases.

I don’t have this issue - in the widget menu and when you access the HR widget I see a second or 2 where it’s “measuring” and then I see a pretty accurate value. I do have 24/7 HR enabled. I’ve not tried having an HR complication visible on a watch face but I can’t imagine it would work differently.

I did used to see this behaviour on my 5 Peak, though, because it took time to fire up the HR sensor and get a stable measurement. The 5 Peak only used to sample the HR every 10mins.

@sartoric said in discrepancy between the clock and the app:

Well, the switch between ds and st Is conventionally set at 2:00 am
Did you manually switch the watch time ?

I didn’t adjust it manually. I believe that the phone updated an hour ahead of the clock, as the discrepancy lasted only an hour and was resolved without any manual intervention.

@ChrisA This is such an awesome approach using a custom Yoga sports mode. I just came across this. It’s much better than Serene and customizable.

@Mauerwegler 👍

Hello,
Is it possible to send live data from Suunto 7 HR to Zwift?
If so, please let me know
Thank you in advance

@Todd-Danielczyk this was definitely a harsh introduction. But I’m feeling better today with everything working as it should. For now I’m trying to learn cause it’s so much different then Garmin.

Battery should cost around 5-10€ it is just small cell around 250mAh but get official replacement can be expensive. Sadly suunto talks about sustainability but there is not much profit in keeping old watch alive. Maybe thats reason for high unreal price (60% of watch price) to make profit.

@DavidCheesman

Just to check:

Are you also syncing via cable to a computer running SuuntoLink?

@Dwartus

And may i ask what the feedback was from suunto?

My Ambit 3 Peak is stuck in an upgrade loop.

I had to reset it.

Now when I connect the USB cable on Mac or Windows it says: “Watch reset required”

I click on “RESET WATCH”

It then tries to upgrade from 2.4.17 -to-> 2.4.17

After the upgrade, it is back at the “RESET WATCH” screen.

Screen shots of the upgrade and reset screens attached.

How do I get suuntolink to work?error-suunto-smaller.jpg
