@cosmecosta Thanks for your reply. Even though it’s considerably cheaper than the Polar OH1, I’ve decided not to faff about anymore with the Coospo and it’s been returned for credit. I’m biting the bullet and splashing out £££ on an OH1 as, thanks to you, I now know it works with Ambit 3 Peak.
@andré-faria the memory feature is just for Suunto watches, for the rest it’s just a standard bluetooth hr monitor so it’s compatible with lots of devices.
@theguyfromthesummit The storm alarm will go off when the pressure drops sufficiently. I believe that do not disturb will turn that off but I am not totally sure. Mine will go off a day or two before storms as we have major fronts come through that drop the air pressure. I should add that my two S9 Baros and my A3P ALL simultaneously Storm Alarm at home. At least I know they are consistent:)
I would argue for the Sunrise/Sunset it is there and the only watch that you can customize the extent you want for this is the S7. If you argue that the watch faces on the S9 have no ability to customize, I am in total agreement on this and there are posts long ago asking for this. I suspect it will never happen. For example, a number of the S9 watch faces duplicate data, the Hero face has a graphical display of battery charge and a battery charge indicator as well. I do not understand the logic in this but…it is not going to change, unfortunately.
@georgex
Exactly what @andrasveres links to you.
Suuntolink should do exactly what you think it didn’t : sync activity from watch to Suunto app cloud + sync your legacy watch settings and routes and POIs from MC Web to your watch.
Sure it is not that simple, but it is like that.

@markg said in gps settings for ambit 3 vertical:
but it’s strange that the third generation watch is less accurate than the first
It’s the missing antenna bump.
I wondered if that was why. Still OK for most purposes, my sport doesn’t allow GPS navigation (rightly in my view - route finding and navigation is part of the skill set) so the record is accurate enough for what I need.
@brad_olwin The Runalyze method seems quite unrealsitic for me as well, as several times happend that a few days of hiking elevated the fitness level more, than 2 months of training in running (maybe i am training wrong ) thanks for the options i will check on the other solutions, until the SA will come up with some relevant options.
A bit late noticing this but I was a little disappointed with the battery life of my vertical. I expected about 10hrs on GPS best but usually get about 8. When I queried this with Suunto the response was that linking it to a HR belt knocks the duration down (and to a foot pod or cadence sensor), so using the HR belt 8 hrs was about right. I tried using it on GPS good setting instead but the watch lost GPS signal a few times part way through runs and never reacquired it - in fact I had to reset the GPS before the next training session before it would get a signal. The watch kept recording time, altitude and distance (distance presumably from fused speed) but on download the track just ended part way through the route. This didn’t occur in woodland or built up areas either, it happened in open fell country.
Thanks for pointing out the drawbacks.
Despite the fact that it is an improvement compared to the Ambit2, you have to pay attention to how the route goes.

This seems to be a general issue on Suunto watches, I did not manage to get my TACX Neo Smart work with all data (power, cadence, speed, distance) on Ambit2, Ambit3 or S9B
Works fine on Fenix6 and my Vantage V
@margusl
Thanks. I was worried a little bit because earlier my watch stopped during a run due to a full memory. I guess I have to wait till the memory is filled to 100% and see what is happening.
Thank you so much for the fast response. This was exactly the information i needed! I also think more about getting the peak because of the better battery.
