The date and time on my S5 did a changeover and now reads Wednesday 01-Sept at 00:20 ( now ). I have the auto date|time to Suunto app set to true and battery saver turned on.

The watch time was correct this morning before a bicycle training, I noticed the error after finishing. The watch has not synced to SuuntoApp yet, as my S9 is the current connected watch.

Thoughts on debugging or just ignore? Best guess is the training will be stored on 01-Sept date and the watch will be auto-corrected to present during the sync.

@isazi I agree with you on your remark without the touch. in the other hand, it has an advantage if the touch was still usable in a locked situation. you take no risk of a wrong action which will result into stopping accidentally the exercise recording. it happened to me due to my glove this winter, hence the LOCK feature is a fantastic one … but … should leave th touch & tape available as this is not damaging in any manner the watch actions

Hey David,
What was your final discovery with this? I have a D6i and need to calibrate the compass basically before every dive.

How did you do a soft reset?
Did it help the calibration?

Thanks

@brad_olwin tyyyyy

@surfboomerang start it before the activity 😅

@adamj I had a fit of dropouts with my H9, sent it back to Polar and they replaced the belt as the electrodes were dead. Looked very similar.

In case anybody else has the problem this is how it got solved for me: leave the watch alone for several hours then keep the upper right button got 12 second to have it reboot. For some reason instead of rebooting in firmware update mode it actually booted normally with all settings factory reset.

No matter how many times and different combination of rebooting the watch, the computer, restarting Suunto link and disconnecting / reconnecting the watch I tried, nothing worked. I always eventually got a network error, sometimes far into the upgrade process, sometimes immediately. I checked the computer logs for USB communication errors and the like and there is nothing. This looked like a server side infrastructure issue or a bug in the Suunto link app. A very bad one.

@mattd for every day wear yes, for activity if you want OHR your watch will bounce too much IMHO with such a light strap.

@optics-field-test I don’t think so XD
It’s just a bug related to bringing new watchfaces to S9 from S9p.

@marc-breen what I would do with a corrupted sport mode (not custom) is hard reset, and if nothing change contact support because something is broken.

Another PC and another cable. Also drag and drop when you test.

@igor-martić I disagree, I like that the theme is a global option. I like that most things are global options actually, it makes easy to know how my watch is configured without having surprises.

Anyway, if there are many people wanting this it could be proposed to Suunto.

So after leaving the watch and smart sensor in the corner for a couple of hours it works.

Thanks for your help!

@tiagospm
ad 1. WOW, this is really strange. I am changing swimming styles very often during my swim trainings and never experienced such problem…yet. Anyway, are you using default swim sport mode or customized one? If customized, then try to delete it and recreate again. Soft reset could help as well. In case taht you are usgin default swim sport mode, then I have no idea, try soft reset or maybe even hard reset. If none of this helps, than I would get it to Suunto repair service. It could be problem with gyroscop sensor(?)

ad 2. @Egika explained it very pricesely and that is exactly how you have to proceed, when you want to have HR data from chest strap recorded while swimming. Please remember, what Egika said - this is applicable only with Suunto Smart sensor. No any other chest strap will work. OHR on the watch work as well, but data from it are very unreliable while swimming.

there is an internet connection, thanks guys, very useful information, I doing an update right now.

Thanks! 👍🏾

@dmytro, @nseslija thanks for the replies. I have the standard strap that came with the watch. I am thinking about the diving strap, but that would be too long for normal use. This is why I thought about an extension. I need a really long strap to put the watch over the sleeve of the ski jacket (you need some bulk when you ski at -25 C - -30 C). For XC I can squeeze the sleeve enough, even if with some difficulty (the 3rd hand would be handy).

You dont need to repair.

Keep the watch paired with one device and in your tablet for example you can see the activities etc.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Yeah… 🙂 Yes, there are some phones like SailfishOS (Jolla - by the way - Finnish company), Ubuntu or Librem …

I’d like this too but realise that it affects battery life/drain. If you’re on a watchface that shows the second hand you can press a button and they should show for a short time before they power off again
