@inkognito I also vote for this indicator. Use this feature often when a cycle and using the wahoo element bolt

@dmytro not recently, the last one was in January (?) they don’t happen that often, that’s why it is important not to miss it

The US GPS system is being updated so it was not put in place and simply left. New and better satellites are used, it may be the most complete and that may be the reason for GPS as the default. In my testing I see no difference with any added satellite systems on Suunto or Garmin with multi band during normal use. The only time multi band mattered on the Garmin was the example I gave below. Garmin was able to get better tracks in the slot canyon but that comes at a steep cost in battery life.

@r-s-0 yes, but one can diverge from the original route for a multitude of reasons: weather conditions, path is destroyed/forbidden, etc.

@bandando happy to hear that enjoy the watch and the sports

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

@mountainchris now I see what you were asking for. lap screen is as it is, the colums can be modified as every other screen

@ralf-muri I think this is related not just the Suunto 9, I experience similar issues occasionally with my Ambit3. However, for me the high HR value from begining of the activity is indicating bad contact (didn’t wet enough the strap) or bad battery. As for dash instead of HR value, that could be bluetooth connection issue and many thing can cause it: clothing material, sweat or again low battery level. Sometimes pairing the sensor again with the watch helps, at least in my experience. Hope one day Suunto app will be able to display battery level of the HR sensor.

@ingiliz as @isazi mentioned, try the same activity without the HR chest strap, just OHR on your wrist. But overall it seems to be a bit different issue than I’ve had. If it works with OHR, then most probably you just need a new strap and don’t have to reset the watch. Just my two cents.

@dmytro said in Very wrong counting of the steps in s9b: @brad_olwin I don’t care either. However, I find this strategy curious at the slightest. I have a very specific programming experience, but from my perspective it shouldn’t be that time consuming to implement the same algo on all watches, given that libraries for sensors and device specific functions are most probably already written. So it might (!) be as easy as copy/paste. On thing is to say we don’t want to research this direction because it’s irrelevant, the other is to stubbornly ignore even it would barely cost any effort (once again, I might underestimate the effort needed). All in all, it’s suunto’s decision, not mine. 100% agree, I do not know why this is. I also do not understand the decision but it may have its roots in the hardware.

Can someone with more knowledge tell us what is the expected sync process for daily activity (sleep/steps/…) : should it auto-update to the app and at which frequency ? I can’t find any reference to this in the watch manual, but maybe that’s considered more of an app functionality that a watch one… I use the IOS beta version of the app.

@freeheeler yupppppp the best watch in market with that miss… … Suunto ️

@freeheeler Well actually that is not true…it also activates when you get notification…for example I was on bike, I came home I went into the shower and then I get notification about daily calories, something like “congrats you’ve done your daily target”, so my S9B has been activated and it started scrolling up and down and it also accidentally run stopwatch and it goes just crazy…and of course as I said before you can not even use stopwatch in the water so for example I can not even measure breath hold of my buddy. Therefore I would like to have option to disable the touch screen in shortcut menu like “Media controls”… this is sooo big disappointment for me and I really fighting with it

@freeheeler In my case it’s worse…I discover that while i’m taking a shower after riding - I have enough power to start running…:-)

@fluca ah ok, thanks to everyone ! I’m sorry

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos @freeheeler @Egika Just to confirm that I tried and was gratefully convinced this feature just works fine. Even with a voluntary manual wrong adjustment before the activity, as you all said, FusedAlti just get it correct. Perfect. Thanks to you all (and my apologies again for being so directive and not open-minded). Congrats to Suunto

@minimark069 Maybe it depends on port V output

@egika @egika Thanks for the clarification. I assumed that if the process worked on Android it would work on iPhone as well. My Traverse manages the whole process of converting track to route internally. All the code is in the watch. To me, making the phone a part of the process is a retrograde step. But at least with Android it can be done entirely via Bluetooth. If I were an iPhone user I would contact Suunto and ask them to have a look at this.
