I made 10km and after this I had just 50kcal…

@zadow said in VO2max levels confusing:

Well, I guess that we could debate about it till end of the days. Runalyze vs Firstbeat (Suunto) and we’ll never come to any conclusion. RA and FB calculation will never meet, just because both are using different algorithm and none of them is able to handle intervals and trails run in correct way. Not even GAP.
As was mentioned here here already (and many times before) real value can be measured in lab only.
Well, so you can go, let measure your real VO2max value in lab, and the set a correction factor in RA. Of course, do not forget to remove all interval or trail runs from calculation (in RA). Keep calculation for races (single race runs, not multisport races) and steady runs. Then one should be able to keep track on nearly real VO2 max. That is for Runalyze (RA).
For Suunto calculation, it is just not possible (afaik) to exclude specific run from calculation…

Oh yes, and please keep in mind that effective VO2max in RunAnalyze is calculated from VO2max and running efficiency. So, here is another factor in game telling us that you just cannot simply compare values from Runalyze and from Suunto. They are just not the same…

Have a nice day all!

but we are discussing the algorithms right？

Just a hint: As I have seen or read other posts, mostly spo2 is just to see weather you are getting sick (I am that type with a bit astma and currently is winter time with Snow, so I am expecting some problems 🙂 ) and also might help to detect sleeping apnea (you can realize if you are snoring) if this all day/sleep time monitoring is applied.

@isazi but it was very annoying, because it was a very good recording for me … and instead all the data busted … min height, max height, ascent and descent…sigh…

@regger said in Ongoing altitude problems with Suunto 9 Baro:

@Brad_Olwin
I’ll try everything to clean it and not to wear it during showering the next weeks (even if this would be an reason not to buy a Suunto in the future) and observe the tracks.

This would happen with any brand, I personally would not shower, the sudden change in temperature and soap I don’t think are the best combination.

As an ex-S9B user, I find the sleep tracking on the S9P much more accurate

@freeheeler Had another crash today during a structured workout. How do I get the logs off the watch to send them to you?

@jeromep Do you have any progress with Sunnto support on this?

@Shrek3k no worries. I am asking also to know. There are intended behavours that can break…

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I will now proceed as you suggested !
It was with the default “trailrunning” profile of the watch, and further tests I did just now have the same result. What I tested:

Start Navigation in options, then interval after the start of the activity Start Interval in options, then navigation after the start of the activity Star nothing in option, start on, then the other after the start of the activity One random test in running default mode One random test with MTB default mode
Sooooo, I conclude that…well I was right at my first post !

Well, that could be a feature idea for Suunto developers haha 🙂

Anyway, thanks guys for the help and feedback !

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks.

@isazi don’t have the English version but that’s the icon 😉 have to try the other walking sports modes then 🙂

@TELE-HO said in Golf mode for Suunto 9:

@MartinLX
no I don’t play golf and while I normally say “never say never” you can believe me, I will never ever play golf and I’ve got reasons that I don’t want to put in here 😉

BUT(!), as you use your watch for golfing, it’s not what a golf watch would actually do. I know from a friend of mine who does play golf, and who I really do not envy for this, that there’s a garmin watch available only made for golf… obviously it does not only count strokes and times for each strokes, but also analyzes your motion and efficiency and if you’re holding and swinging that club how it’s supposed to…

but well… while I think everyone should do what he likes, I really respect what everyone does, but golf is nothing for me, really 😂

I know that watch, and I think this is total overkill - hence why I am looking for a pragmatic golf mode. Maybe that could convince you one day to play? 😊 No, jokes apart, everyone has its reasons to like or dislike, and welcome to diversity! 👍

@PepeLePew said in Suunto 9 configuration backup in Suunto App:

is it possible to backup watch configurations made in Suunto App?

+1. I also think its a feature its imported to have

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Okay, Thank you!! 🙂

@jkell11
remember it is just a workaround, sportstracker site is just showing suuntoapp data, but is not suuntoapp website, thus strange things may happen.

@tyresej4 sorry for the late answer (lots of work at the moment):

The Fenix 6 featurewise is a great Watch, because it virtually has everything you could ask for and if not, you usually find it in the connect IQ shop and just install it… but I found that it just has too many features and you easily get completely lost in it. There are menues in menues in menues … and it doesn’t give you a lot of help in how to use all that data you get from it. It really needs a lot of effort to use it to its purpose and I found it too much for my needs. I still have it since I got it quite cheap and sometimes I use it along my Suunto 5 🙂

I suggest that “:00” is dropped on the watch face from those timezones, that don’t have 15/30/45 minute offset. So “UTC+02” instead of “UTC+02:00”. Most timezones have 0 minute offset.

ISO 8601 standard allow also this representation without minute offset. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_offsets_from_UTC

“:00” is just redundant information wasting space on the watch face.

(I have S5 but same issue.)

@SvenG a proper solution is also being tested by the app developers, apparently something changed with a recent Pixel update.

@fof1618
Push middle button and screen should wake up for few seconds and then goes back black again.
It is a battery saving option, and it remains in custom battery option.
