@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos cool.

Thanks for mentioning steps to reproduce. In fact - I did turn off hr belt as the watch was struggling to lock on to my hr with ohr (which never happens) so I thought maybe it stubbornly wants to connect to hr belt which was impossible at that time. Only after that I thought meh to hell with hr, it’ll figure it out anyway sooner or later and I proceeded to load the route.

You can hear a flebile ticking if you put it really close to your ear, due to the flashing diode … but buzzing can be an electric issue

@Samuli-Sutinen also before you reboot it please, could you press send logs via the SuuntoLink and paste here the ID that it will give you. ? Even better if you can reproduce the issue easily then just after that press send longs.

Maybe this helps:

@surfboomerang
Aha! Thank you. I had naively assumed that the interval display would be created dynamically, in the manner that it is in my Ambits. Having added an interval screen to my custom sport mode, I can duly select intervals. Phew!

As to the 'no intervals whilst navigating; feature: yes, I’d already spotted and been mildly irritated by that, though it’s much less problematic than the original issue would have been.

Thanks for the remarkably rapid replies 🙂

@Luís-Pinto British sense of humour 😂

Txs all!

@Rosie65 You are not the first person to complain about that. Yes, standby backlight does help screen readability quite a bit in exchange to a small hit to the battery life.

@Meneillos
basically the “alternative suppliers” you’ll find on aliexpress etc have some nice quality straps. fore sure not all, but read reviews and check pics 👍
mine is a model where i liked the pattern (original silicone black for S9B x-alps) but wanted it orange and it was not available at Suunto.
I wear it 24/7 for 7 months now, almost no signs of wear… still bright orange!
If Suunto had more colors, I would go for an original one of course.

@benoize said in Save preset target:

@brad_olwin, too bad. I find this such a basic feature. How can this watch have a totally superfluous ‘feelings feature’(I mean, who really uses this??) and not have something like default or preset training features???

The feelings feature can be quite useful, I use it as my RPE for the run. There have been several scientific studies published demonstrating that RPE is a better method for gauging workout stress than HRV measurements as the latter require long history, precise timing during the day and are difficult to interpret. So you can use the feelings feature usefully. The S5 was designed for individuals either arrange their own workouts or want a coach. The watch has an adaptable coach feature that will provide adaptive workouts based on intensity. So, not only does it remember your last workout and suggest intensity and duration for the next, but the coach feature will adjust workouts if you skip or go harder than you should. There are three levels of workout coaching available. This might work for you. https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Support/Product-support/suunto_5/suunto_5/features/adaptive-training-guidance/

Thank you for the replies. Seems, I’ve exaggerated a bit. The battery lasts about 2-3 days at least, the case when it was working only a day seems to be a glitch. Nevertheless, I will keep an eye on that and try what you suggested if things went worse.

Simply go to 100% and then to 0% and then back to 100%

@André-Faria It is fairly well known that HR and similar light sensors can struggle with darker skin tones. And sometimes some optical HR readers can work better than others depending on skin tone.

@AGarrett82 - I assume that you have correctly positioned your watch i.e. 1.5-2 fingers width from base of palm (so that the readings aren’t impacted by bones of the wrist etc); and that you have set the strap fairly tightly (I can always see the indentations in my skin post workout, once i have loosened my strap).

Now everithing is ok with simply reset!
Thank you!

@Quique78 good to hear you solved your problem!

@mafxxx

Are you sure you are comparing the exact same lighting conditions? I’ve had mine for a similar length of time and find that there are conditions where the back light makes hardly any difference and others where it does.

Because of this I wish they would make the heart rate and GPS indicators at the beginning of an exercise bigger and contrast the background more so I can more easily see whether the watch is ready for me to start my exercise. I’d also like a regular (non exercise) watch face with white background and black letters and numbers

I love the watch otherwise.

Merci pour votre retour.
J’ai fait une mise à jour ce matin et là je vois que la fonction était déjà activée.
Je ne sais pas si c’était déjà la cas avant.
je vais aller vérifier cela 🙂

@Sebastien-Boulanger I would suggest to try the standard things and if nothing works contact support also. Things like clearing the cache, or even reinstalling the app from scratch. Also which version of the app are you using? And did you update Android recently?

@petar-kardjilov Did you update the FW?

2.10.26 corrects an error with the clock https://www.suunto.com/es-es/Asistencia/Actualizaciones-de-software/Notas-de-lanzamiento/actualizaciones-de-software-para-suunto-5-/

@sartoric did what you say and tightend and cleaned the band and went running for 5 km which delivered the complete same (!) average hr both on the S5 and the AW 5

Then after a pause went walking with the dog and voila same problem: after a while the hr raises magically on the S5 to over 150 bpm, while it never surpasses 119 bpm on the AW5

Will give it another try tomorrow… but it’s weird

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I have done that and interestingly a few random days have been recovered. One day is still odd, but fingers crossed.
Thanks

@reesmt78 I ask myself whether constant charging and incomplete charging cycle would affect battery health in the long run. I personally would rather opt for bigger battery then the solar charger option, but I can see this as a feature for through hikers.

@brnfox The calculations for relative effort or calories are based off of HR zones, which if different will change relative effort. In addition, Strava eliminates what the app thinks are pauses so in my experience the two relative efforts (watch and Strava) are close but never identical.
And secondly, yes, Strava does not have different HR values for cycling and running so this will be an issue.

@Calle-Bjernekull
This is not possible atm.

Please use search function.
