@Jamie-BG Of course, no one “literally” forced me to do it, but it was the only way to solve that only Suunto-related apps were not working. I do not agree with you, for me it is not logical to perform a factory reset frequently. As a user also of devices with this option, I have not needed it. I use mainly when tweeking, test apps/settings on other devices modifyng what factory/developer give me, it’s not the case (custom-mods, roms, etc).
“Hey, can’t see your friends’ Instagram stories correctly? Factory reset your phone and try again.” Apologies, for me this is not logical. Obviously it’s a easy exit to problems, but for me it’s a time insuming task re-add all the settings, parameters, create the sport modes, etc with the only reason that is use the product/device in a normal way.
In fact, here in the forum you can read about experiences that have needed it almost quarterly or something like that, luckily for me it’s the first or second time I needed it. I normally use factory reset when I am going to sell or discard a device. I used for years my A3P, I never needed, also the S9B, I never needit, only with S7.
And “for nothing” it’s clear: I only used the device in the normal way.
