Thanks for the quick reply! I’m using both apps on Android. Will deinstall MC and just keep the SA. I have again a 10k this Sunday, will see if the problem persists… I hope it will be ok, because I’m attending the Hamburg half marathon on the 01.07., and this will be my first half marathon in my life

@darren_m said in Can the Spartan Sport WHRB be switched off?: Ok thanks, I thought not. I’m wondering if the watch becomes just a watch after the becoming idle for so long. You could achieve this by stopping all measurement functions (Heart Rate etc) after the accelerometer becomes idle for a set period, which suggests that the watch isn’t being worn because it hasn’t detected any movement, maybe! To have background information like this would be interesting. Yes that is what happens. Only take care that it can sesnse eg small vibrations eg when you also out a glass on the same table.

I’ve just had exactly the same issue with Suunto 9. It was just a random downloading of activities via SuuntoLink, after which I kept the watch connected to USB cable to charge it.

@amcdj could you check if it is still turned on in the settings?

@giraffe73 nice. I mean nice of them to reply and not give you some generic answer. The trainer battery is not as good as published from my own experience… But its not the first company that does this.

@Brad_Olwin Me to. GPS only

Thanks all. I am going to fiddle around with it some more later this afternoon. Most of it I have tried. Also cleaned the back of the watch, and will tighten the crud out of it when I hop on the erg today. If’s the first challenge I have had with the watch , and hoping I can get this to work.

@surfboomerang great to see you here!

@fritzbt2013 said in Route guidance?: I use traiL waypoints for Lefts maybe Lake could be better

Have you considered to jump into Suunto app? These issues won’t be there.

I have just sent the sensor back to Amazon and purchased the Garmin Swim 2. Hopefully just use the Swim 2 for Open and pool swimming and keep my Spartan trainer for everything else. Fingers crossed it will all workout.

@Simone-Marchi As if the above wasn’t long enough, do you have the following slow response issue with the SSU? The route/map screen is way too slow to stabilise on raising wrist to view. I don’t know whether it’s the accelerometer, compass or GPS squabbling, or screen drawing speed but, when wanting a quick orientation reference, I find myself waiting for my Spartan’s route screen to stabilise, find North, doubt itself, move my location 50m, reset its aspect, move me again and demand compass recalibration.

Thank you! I also just found a response from one dive center I contacted and they sent me this link: https://www.suunto.com/fy-nl/Support/Repair-services/Online-Service-Request/ So I’ll try that.

@surfboomerang Thanks. I’ve done this several times and it didn’t help. After your post, I tried again on the street and after 10-12 minutes the signal was caught. Perhaps, the signal in Moscow today is weak or I was unlucky…:)

@aleksander-h I believe it is the same for Spartan as S series. And this is how my old Spartan worked. Paired as foot pod will give power, speed, cadence and distance from Stryd. Paired as power pod will provide only power from Stryd and all other metrics from the watch. Make sure you set the auto calibration on the watch for the foot pod to off, otherwise the GPS data will try to add a calibration factor to the Stryd.

@suzzlo yes, they did it a while ago.

Yeap, I eventually found it out. It is great users can create modes by themseleves! Thanks mate!

@Bluedragon38 352828 means lwh 35mm x 28mm x 2.8mm, as for connector, maybe you can remove the kapton tape that protects the battery and the bms, put it back and you’re done. I’ve done this with my trainer outdoor once year ago
