@Kasper My wife’s S5 has been behaving similarly since yesterday: I did a hard reset, the watch started up, but after a few hours it showed the arrow symbol again and does not respond to any button. Tomorrow I will take it to the store where I bought it and make a claim.

@ActiveJiggy it’s already there [image: 1671922715599-screenshot_20221224-235752.png]

@matt-r Basically the default fields in the screens

@DMytro oooo! that’s an interesting observation, I hadn’t thought of that Cool tip - such for general understanding of Suunto ecosystem thanks!

@sartoric said in 24/7 HR measurements: No, that would eat you battery Ok, thanks for the answer

@surfboomerang I think my new job is too stressful

@epictetus Ah, now I see. By default, the Suunto app loaded all of the Suunto Plus Features. When I deleted all bar one of these, the Guides were all suddenly available on my watch. It would have been helpful if Suunto had explained that there was a limit on the number of apps that could be loaded!

Today AGPS back

@Renaud112 yes https://forum.suunto.com/search?term=down arrow&in=titles I would contact support

@Francesco-Pagano I’m having similar issues as of v2.20.30, but my S5 Burgundy Copper is already off warranty period (Hardware 0071B4). I’ve already performed (not one but two) factory reset, battery recalibration, uninstall/reinstall app to no avail. Should I try to get to the dreaded black charge-me screen while aware of having battery left and upon near instant recognition of the watch by Suunto Link send logs?

@Cornell-Tsiang it has to have blue to green color before you start

So I talked to suunto custommer service via chat on website, they told me that if fog dissapears in few minutes it is considered OK. I should worry only if it persists for long time.

So i was testing this a lot last two weeks. While breast swimming style, i must put my hand few centimeters above water and wait 10-30 seconds to get gps fix every time i want to record swimmed distance. It is sometimes hard to do if there are waves but it is possible. But after some time i just stoped doing it and recorded just openwater swimming without GPS. So i have just time and stroke. I think strome rate and time is more important than GPS track. Since there are water currents distance is less accurate tu measure work done.

@dr-suunto If you are purchasing a belt, strongly consider the Suunto. The memory feature is more significant than you might think. If you temporarily lose connection between the watch and the belt it will fill those in when the exercise is finished. You can use the belt alone for sports where you may not want to wear the watch in the gym for example. Finally, the sensor on the belt is very small and the only one I can wear for long distance races without having chafing.

@activejiggy I don’t think that changing the step counting will affect the battery very much. Something to realize with the Suunto 5 (I assume this is the non-Peak version?) is the altitude is determined using GPS. If you use any GPS other than Performance mode the altitude/ascent/descent will not show in the watch as 1 min GPS fixes do not allow for determining altitude changes. The 2, 5 and 10 sec fixes will not improve battery by much, that is why they were not implemented. In the Ambit series these were to provide a reasonable GPS track with some battery savings. In watches that have a compass, Suunto has developed FusedTrack so your GPS tracks are very good even with a 2 min GPS fix. For the Suunto 5, this watch does not have a compass so FusedTrack is not possible.

@brad_olwin Thanks! And I forgot to add. I’m using a PC.

@tomas5 on Android we don’t show distance as it’s too hard to calculate. We would need to interpolate those 50m lengths to speed etc. It’s on the backlog but not so asap. Ios will remove it I think.

@tomas5 I support this feature request! we should be informed if the satellites are locked the precision is good enough to get the correct altitude (for baro versions also with FusedAlti) I have made various observations regarding start altitude but also alti change during an activity on a totally flat track, that I can not explain. It would be good to do some improvements here, or let’s say to inform the user by GUI improvements about the status of the watch.

@lombam2 I had/have two S5s and a S5 Peak, which all share the same cable and never had any problems, nor have I read about such here. Perhaps it really is a cable problem, or your charger? I also found, that the loading pins on the S5 collect dirt and other things quite good, perhaps the problem is there? Or it’s really just bad luck. But it certainly is not the product itself.
