@Retired-Assistant I believe you should contact support, VO2max may be because of your use, but HRV should work

@Egika fair enough

@Brad_Olwin thanks for the tip! that’s really helpful.

why endurance? i’m nit living in gps-difficult-condituons. the single band option (endurance) already produces a near perfect track. I’m impressed to be honest.

All i want is that the settings stay the same every time i start an activity. 😀 nevertheless, i will try try your additional sport mode approach as well as the custom gps mode trick.

Custom sports mode are always in the short list, so you can always use them for multisport 😸

@gone-troppo they will, probably, but I doubt it will ever make sense and cover all cases. Those algorithms are based on observation of the physiology of people running, but trail running has too much variability to ever reach a similar stability. You could be just running flat on a trail, running uphill on good trail, running on technical trails, pulling on chains on very technical terrain, and for the watch you’ll just be exhausted and running very slow. It is not just altitude gain, that’s way easy, is the variety of terrain that will never allow such algorithms to work.

@dombo titanium or steel, it’s the same.

@deserthike20 Same configuration 😢

@алексей-михайлов contact support, there may be something broken in your watch.

I would love this feature implemented from the watch directly. I have no idea how in term of UX after finishing the previous activity… But I am sure Suunto UX guys can find something clever!

On a another hand, Is the live track feature form Garmin could be have its equivalent in the Suunto?

Thank you!

@sebastiant How did you disable child protection?

@freeheeler Both but i have the Vertical connected to my android. Have sent logs so many times but they insist i have to give them Log ID (long number). I tell them there is no such thing from the app here is my app version my user id and the time the crash happend. They even sent me link on how to send logs that is literally the thing I do.

@freeheeler 👍👍👍👍

I think best era of Suunto was when Ambit 1/2/3 was on market. Now i know multiple people with Garmin and Suunto. It think people have less issues or shortcomings with Garmin.

I never had different sports watch than Suunto. I really like it is European brand, i like design a lot. I like user interface of watch. I like how route planing works.

I don’t like that suunto abandoned movescount. I don’t like WHR accuracy. I don’t like problematic GPS accuracy when openwater swimming. I don’t like how charging on my wifes S5P works. I don’t like need of watch in range of bluetooth if i want to change sport modes in suunto app. I really hate that suunto changed backlight behavior of S5 with firmware update(removing toggle and dim backlight when dnd enabled), and there are some other dislikes.

I think there are lot of pros and cons of suunto watch. Since i don’t have any other brand watch myself, i am not able to judge quality or feature reliability because i didn’t try any other. Will i buy another Suuntoin future? I have my S5 just little over two years. I hope it will work for 2-3 next years. And than i will really think about it and read lot of reviews before i decide. I hope that suunto will provide in future many more reliable watches, still made in finlad, in same quality like Ambit watch was.

@altcmd said in Altimeter and compass calibrations:

Brad_Olwin 20-30m variation at 250m altitude might be ok, but at near sea level, I am getting anywhere between -12 to +70 for similar locations. That’s a pretty wild variation given the base. And much of this calibration is not during activity - it’s from the normal watch mode and I don’t understand why the SV cannot get this right or about right? Again, my reference is Suunto’s competition and almost all of them have this going somewhat right but Suunto is in a league of its own making.

Small frustrations, but these are adding up.

I only run on flat ground, but I never get the similar altitude, the difference can up to 50%

@borgelkranz I will give Rungap a go. But I don’t know if it will work.

@matus69
deactivate auto DND and activate it manually (auto DND is related to sleep times and to be found in sleep widget settings)

Just got information that a new release shall be there within 2 weeks, from the Suunto Assistance.
No information on what it shall resolve.

I was already crying at the prices on the second-hand market.

I already have a chest strap and I use it for longer sessions.

However, I don’t feel like putting on the chest strap for a 30-minute session. Above all, OHR works very well for me with other manufacturers.
It’s very frustrating with such an expensive watch.

@pavel-samokha
F6x Pro comes in 3 glass variants - gorilla DX, sapphire, or garmins power glass (combo of gorilla and solar); there may have been different country/later variants with power sapphire (sapphire and solar combo).
They all have varying degrees of visibility but generally in sunlight there isn’t an issue with any of them.
