@sartoric I also think so.
Washing always helps in my case 🙂

@Massimo-Labozzetta
Phones usually work better in term of GPS reception
And usually it’s not recommended to use GPS on track, especially if you have a lot of turning, since distance is approximated.
The more the track is made by curves, the more the resulting distance is an approximation.

on Strava (as it syncs to strava before i can update to skateboard)

you could turn off any data service on the phone before syncing activites
then correct and re-enable it

Hello, I`m back again.

I started “running” with this famous audioguide from SUUNTO App. After 20 seconds I started “running” from the Spartan Sport. Autostopp off on both.

It was really great. I got all informations I wanted from the audioguide and sometimes I took a look on the watch to see my heardrate and so on.
What concerns me a little bit is the different distance between app and watch. (2km app - 2,15watch, 3km app - 3,19 watch, and 4.10km app to 4.32 watch.) Even I started the watch later.
I was accompanied by my my wife and her Huawei tracker and its distance was very close to the SA.

The results of this workout are shown in the same way in the Suunto app and in the Sports tracker app.
As Mff73 mentioned, there are 2 workouts in the apps and I have to delete one of them.

From now, I will start workouts from SA and the watch (because of the audioguide) and will keep the “Watch-workout” for my statistics.

Thanks and best greetings !

Did you update your watch just before trying to sync with SA ? This won’t work as activities are no more on the watch. Just a summary is left in it. Have you tried to sync a fresh activity ?

@zadow
you’re welcome
… I forgot to write here that I tested DISTANCE outdoor yesterday and it worked as expected 😁

@Frixos-Demetriades ok, I uderstand this. thank you for reply

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone

Glad to say that it’s all working ok now.

Seems I was not aware of the changes made to the Stryd / Suunto app process.
became a show stopper as I have now moved my SSS to SA fully.

So, deleting all the connections and then remaking them gave the desired result as per Dimitrios’s answer.

@inkognito done, it works thanks.

My error was (hope to be able to explain): I deleted the activity, then i started a new one not shown (to check the fields) before adding the customized one and the watch added it to the short list again reaching the maximum again.

@sartoric @suzzlo THANKS A LOT!

@_link_ said in Spartan "invalid" altitude field:

Even a relatively imprecise computation would be usefull

Not really relative 🙂 due to the misreading / misplacement

Hi @Mardee-Saxton, what did you choose and how do you feel compared to the older sunnto SS?.
I’m on the same situation these days.
Thx, Oscüi

@zhang965
I thought of this one…
We cannot seem to reach an end crippling our communication

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks for the speedy reply! That’s a pretty cool function.

@riccardo
Did you try a soft reset ? Maybe something is stuck

@Mff73 sure?
Thought starting an anctivity will get it back (think worked on mine)

@stevena Same issue with the Spartan Sport WHR. I asked about it on here a while ago and was told the following:

“There’s a threshold, which is 3 meters for baro watches and 7 meters for watches without baro, and the total ascent / descent increment in chunks once the altitude change exceeds that threshold.” (copy-pasted from here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/3886/dodgy-elevation-on-spartan-sport-whr/5)

In other words, if you’re running a route that undulates by less than 7 metres at a time, your non-baro watch will treat it as flat.

I find this super-annoying too. But apparently it’s considered OK in Suuntoland, because I was told I was being nitpicky for considering it bizarre. If it’s any comfort, I have a Stryd and it isn’t much better for elevation. Under-reports by almost a factor of ten on some routes, so perhaps there’s a similar arbitrary threshold at work there.

Update, 26 April: Just for the record, I may have been mistaken about Stryd’s accuracy, or perhaps I was looking at the wrong .fit files? At any rate, lately I’m getting conspicuously plausible elevation data from Stryd.

I had a similar battery problem with my SSSWHR baro, where the battery would die at 30%. I was never sure how much charge it actually had. Sent it off to Suunto, they repaired and it seems ok now.

Never had the issue with it displaying a different % when placing on charge, but when the watch does at 30% and I’d plug it in, it would show 30% again to charge up from.

Same watch, had a battery issue, but slightly different to how you describe.

(Incidentally, I’ve ordered a 9 baro now as there were a few niggles with then SSS that bothered me)

I think even digital meth won’t help if the imprisoned imp is just not capable of doing it.

@ColdBeer that’s not what happened. The back light button simply stopped working, so I did a factory reset, but now can’t get by the walk through, since in the tutorial you have to press the back light (which is still not working).
