@Elipsus “its more about being resilient if USA decides to reduce the capabilities of its “public” GPS, or completly turns it off.” That’s what I was talking about. Before 2000 this was the situation: https://www.gps.gov/systems/gps/modernization/sa/data/ Now, imagine that we went back to it, and I think it’ s not impossible so I think it’s a scenario worth thinking about and prepared to. What would happen to GNSS accuracy who use GPS and Galileo?

@Stefano-M64 Hi thanks - are you 100% sure about this? It does read that way in menus but its not how it works based on mine and other commenter experience. If so - which FW are you on? I will try to reset the watch and see if it helps EDIT: You were right, thanks again. watch restart fixed the issue.

@ChrisA It was all black. But I think it’s because of the loaded track, maybe it had some problem. With other tracks it worked fine. Thanks

@timecode SOLVED by updating the watch. Apologies for confusion. Will update the post header.

@dankcushions Thanks for the clarifications. However, I stand by what I said—OHR is garbage for sports across all brands and models, except for a lucky few whose physiology happens to align perfectly with their wearable for somewhat decent approximations. My point was simply in response to someone stating that HR is crucial. If it’s crucial, then you cannot rely on OHR for sports, regardless of the brand or model.

This has been reported here but AFAIK there isn’t a solution yet. https://forum.suunto.com/topic/12593/pool-swim-interval-duration-totally-wrong?_=1742226125341

Yeah, I was reacting to this very phenomenon today. Using the watch as a regular watch outside an activity, the ‘always on’ face became totally dark in the sunlight, but then brightened significantly when stepping indoors. I thought: “The programmers must have reversed the sensor logic!” - i.e. this being a bug. But I don’t know… I’ve seen it at times in a running activity while angling the watch towards the sun, but since I use the brightest setting and run in the mornings in a gloomy Sweden those times have not been frequent. I imagine the coming spring and summer will make me more irritated though… Perhaps I’ll have to switch over to the Garmin FR955 with MIP screen then.

@Jan-Suchánek There is power management in Ultra mode with the GPS chip so the recording interval will likely vary depending on the connection. The GPS fix will try every second but every second may not be recorded.

@Bert your Can measure distance only if you start an activity, otherwise it’s just steps.

@ChrisA Maybe in next update, we´ll got new activity - “Knocking”

@Jan-Suchánek ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Stavrogin they are not exactly equal because HR zones can only be set on the watch, making your imported activities happen in completely different zones. For Garmin RunGap has a “fake Garmin device” option that works really well

@Lukáš-Blažek I also doesn’t see any difference on latest firmware. Also, I’ll appreciate the less than lower brightness setting. Even in the direct sun, the display shine too much IMHO and we can save a bit battery life. Same at home, seems that the regulation of brightness doesn’t work good.

@ppresing did you find any solution? : (

I have some how the same similar results. What I have observe additional are the folowing: if in the period of 24, if you take a nap, then after some hours you take a full 7-8 hours of slepp, for that day, the sum of the slept hour’s are no longer summed. Basically the watch does show only the first nap, or unclear/incorect slepp hours. Some time, you can see them both, but the slepp, or consecutive nap’s are incorect couted as no. of hours.

@elbee said in Oura vs Race HRV - any experiences?: @hgavert said in Oura vs Race HRV - any experiences?: Hi! My Oura is dead. It has been really good in measuring the HRV How do you know hrv on the oura is very good? Do you have a comparison with something proven to be accurate? I recently ditched my forerunner 965 and bought a Suunto race s. The hrv between the 2 are different. The garmin produces way higher values than the race s. I would say, for my age, the race s produces vales that are expected, but unless I use some scientific/medical equipment there isn’t a way to say which device (garmin vs suunto in my case) is more accurate. For me, hrv is mostly as expected, lower the morning after an high intensity interval training or race, higher after a rest day. No suprises there. In 15 years use of sport watches I learned quite a lot is marketing bs. I got the Oura 2 maybe 5 years ago. The values that it gives - or trend if you like - correlate very well will training load and feeling. You can for example do a “meditation session” right after hard training and see how low the HRV is. (That basically means, to have a 15min nap doing breathing exercises.) Also, the nightly HRV is fully correlating with recovery. It just makes sense. Unlike the first beat algorithm used in Suunto resources - that really doesn’t correlate that well. Also, I do remember finding a study made in some university comparing Oura to clinical level gold standard (obviously don’t remember which device that was). Oura was pretty much right on. That was back then, 5 years ago. Can’t find it from Google now.

I sent my watch back to Amazon to get a new one and I had exactly the same problem! And just in case, I haven’t updated the firmware. So the problem isn’t hardware. On the other hand, I tried using my company’s wifi network (fibre optic) and it worked !!! But at home it doesn’t work with any of my 2 separate wifi networks! I think there’s a problem in the watch on the software side to manage long downloads on certain wifi networks, something that makes the watch think that the network is no longer available even though it’s functional. That’s it for me, I’ll be loading my cards at the office…
