@freeheeler , yes I did that and there is no change. thanks.

@jiri-kuran This is sensor issue probably, maybe you covered the sensor during the buke ride, wind can also mess the altitude, or the sensor just needs a cleaning…

FWIW Courtney Dauwalter has an S9PP and a Vertical, she seems to regularly alternate between the two but for her recent races/wins such as UTMB she seems to be favouring her S9PP. Obviously seems to work well for her over massive distances in the mountains which should instill a fair amount of confidence for us mere mortals

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos When you load 15 sports apps on 9 Baro, it says memory full. That is the limit. But when you just disable - on the phone - some of them, not uninstall, they keep showing on the suunto app on the iphone, but not on the watch. Ok, now the thing: when you create an exercise, all the sports apps on suunto app on the phone are enabled. If you have a list of 20 sports apps, but only 12 enabled, all 20 get enabled then you get a memory full warning.

@zhang965 It worked. Thanks!

@michaeldwilson I will do so by the end of August. Now almost everyone is out on vacation. The sensor does not shut down (no zero reading). Instead it seems having a hard time reading the HR and for as long it keeps the last read value.

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

The charging cables have a tendency to wear out (stop working) after about two, maybe three, years. I did not notice any significant difference between the factory cables and the cheap replacements. Of course, ymwv.

Answering my own question after a few weeks of troubleshooting: I could never get my Suunto to connect to the power meter, so I ended up getting the Hammerhead Karoo 2 which uploads workouts to Suunto with the watt information. It’s not perfect, because now I have two workouts each time- one from my watch (which measures heart rate), and one from the Karoo (which measures wattage). I could probably combine them if I just got a separate heart monitor, but I wish that Suunto just supported Ant+ in the first place.

@Vrba007 then it is quite possible that sweat got inside the baro hole, causing these continuous raise and drop in pressure. From the graph it looks that the drops are the spurious artifacts, and that would be consistent with an artificial increase of pressure due to sweat (or anything else pushing air/water inside the baro hole).

@surfboomerang said in Step counter and walking km: @TiagoSPM I’ve always seen stepcounters as a gimmick. They just can’t give reliable data because the sensor is mounted on your arm so every other movement of the arm during a walk can potentially count or miscount a step. To me, stepcount is a useless metric. No idea how it can help in a training? Next time I want more steps in the same distance or something??? All step counters are doing the best they can but can never be reliable if you’re not moving exactly like the algorithm wants you to. Suunto 3 5 and 7 had a dedicated context sensor to count the steps, it’s why they are better than S9 on counting steps. The weird stuff is this context sensor doesn’t come with S9 or any other suunto flagship watches. It’s not the target population they said.

@Elipsus it’s calculated. It just doesn’t drive me mad whenever I see it VO2max estimation has been discussed on this forum many times before and I think we’ve settled the debate on that the current implementation is useful only for seeing trends (getting better or worse with time), not an actual level, and that it does go bonkers on longer walks or hikes. Hopefully something will change for the better soon with the introduction of new fitness features. You can also use runalyze to sync your workouts with it. It has its own VO2max estimation algorithm, which you can also adjust.

@isazi Yes that’s the next step, I will clean the watch and see in the feature how it works. Thanks

@Michał-Ciba something may be wrong with the hardware, contact support and see what they say.

@Brad_Olwin, thanks! Yesss, seems to be something wrong, yeah… Support told me to send it to them. Already tried soft-reset (hold 12s uppper-right) sometimes makes the arrow disappear, but it happer again some hours late. The same with hard-reset (usb connection with pc running SuuntoLink) also suggested by SuuntoLink, which then tries to update, fails a few times, then completes, but hours later the arrow happears again. Also tried many times the soft-reset as requested by the support, leading the watch to a new state with the display showing a message I don’t remember but inviting to ask them. So I am waiting for them to solve this, happeared after upgrade

@MaTroskinas9 Since the days are long now where I live, it is not a big deal now… I only went for two hikes very late at night and decided to use Do not disturb mode to decrease backlight (I did not expect any notifications around midnight anyway ). But this improved “low” backlight will become really annoying for me starting from autumn… If nothing happens by then, I will probably really downgrade… Furthermore, my S9 now crashes from time to time and trying to find some pattern there is great fun

@Ze-Stuart Hi, sorry for not responding. It was quite a long time of waiting for WYUR. At the time of your question, it was simply a roadmap information I got from an support engineer - I was awaiting that WYUR would convert all connected ANT+ sensors into multiple BLE POD signals. In detail, we would need a power POD and a separate bike POD signal (BLE) to get all data to the watches. I mainly tried to record my trainings on a old DAUM Ergobike. In the meantime, I found an APP called Ergo48 coded by Uwe Böhm (thank you) which is able to convert Ergobike, Kettler (e.g.) to BLE. I‘m feeding this signals directly to Zwift (running on Apple TV). After the training, I import the training via RunGap to Suunto APP. Because of this, I was not investing into WYUR until now. Zwift makes more fun, then riding against a white wall for hours (may it would be a better training for my psyche). So I stick at zwift and RunGap for now. BUT - WYUR is available since (April ?) this year! https://npe.fit/products/wyur#/support Product information says, it can be a bike pod, it can be a cadence pod, it can be a power pod. I would assume that the individual POD‘s will be converted into individual BLE names and channels. Otherwise it would not be an advantage over cable. But this are my personal guesses. This has to be tested or answered by Northpole Engineering support. Cheers

@Tomas5 This was one reason why i went with Wahoo sensors. The cadence can be very easily attached to a shoe. And i stopped using the speed sensor. It was quite useful on the MTB as the GPS signal is quite often blocked (trees, boulders, etc.), but on the road bike, the GPS speeds is good enough (and we don’t have enough tunnels here).
