A friend of mine had a S7 dead while swimming cause battery died in the middle and never charged again after, guess this is different, but he got a new one from Suunto warranty

@fenr1r thanks! B ut

@isazi thx for your reply. will do!

@שרון-כהן can you try with a different computer or a different cable?

@bradleyd this sounds like a suunto app bug do you have a link for the activity ?

@andré-faria Nice to hear that, thanks

@andré-faria said in GPS track "open water swimming" much longer: @yurgo said in GPS track "open water swimming" much longer: @renton82 said in GPS track "open water swimming" much longer: @yurgo Which Garmin does she use? All 945/Fenix 6 and i think all Garmin with Sony chip tend to understimate distance when set up in open water swim mode as i tested in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M88WksWOn1w She uses Fenix 5s. We swam many times at places where i exactly know how long track was. It could easy be checked by maps. As well as we raced at competitions where the the distances were approved and checked by GPS. Every time I faced with much less stable distance measurement than her watches and than real distance. Usually spartan shows more distance and very shaped track. The problem with OWS tracking lasts for some years. Why doesn’t anyone pay attention for this situation? Maybe because it is techinically difficult to solve (just a guess!). On garmin forums there is a lot of complains also about that topic on various watches. Maybe youre right. But I am suprpised why difference is so high between two devices. I practice the only swimming and this type of activity is very important for me so i feel disappointed every time when checking my results at OW. However I enjoy using spartan at pool training to be honest.

@sartoric @suzzlo THANKS A LOT!

@fpv-cz I don’t think it is possible.

DIY In my case Mounting point was easy - as my stem got plastic GoPro mount (thanks Bontrager ) Arms - I have reused Alu-plate scrap that was laying around First body prototype - used from Medicine container + 2 Alu plate caps i made & glued. - I wasn’t very happy with shape and how bulky was. Second body - I used plastic holder from my Swatch (as recently dropped by to store for battery replacement - and came out they wanted to give me new box - so i asked to keep old broken one). I used blow torch to bend a bit and reshape it to final form. Filled with foam to keep it a bit more secure, glued arms - and used electric tape. I am very happy with final results.

@sartoric said in Battery Capacity Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR Baro: but I can suggest you to bring a power pack Correct I certainly have to bring a power bank The real task is now to estimate the required capacity of the power bank and therefore I need an estimation of the capacitancy of the SSS

@isa4d could be defective, but before you contact Suunto support try another cable and another computer for the update. Also try drag and drop a firmware zip file instead of the Suuntolink download seemed to help for some people.
