I wonder if it’s gotten worse with updates. When I first got the watch I was impressed—the OHR was way better than my old Garmin 745. But the last few weeks/months it’s gotten really bad. 80bpm while sitting down tying my shoelaces (should be ~40bpm). Today on a short 20‑min easy run it spiked to 163bpm (my max HR is in the 150s). At first it would shoot high for the first 10 minutes then settle, but now even long runs have random spikes mid‑run. I tried tightening the strap, but after a few runs I now have a rash on my arm from the watch!!! Usually taking the watch off for 30 seconds helps, but lately even that doesn’t work—I have to repeat it multiple times. Today’s run it just kept spiking again.

@dani_degi wenn es nur darum geht, in welcher Zone du dich befindest, kannst du das mittlerweile auch in den Traininsoptionen als Aktivitätszonen wählen. Damit sparst du dir die Suunto Plus app, wo du ja nur zwei aktiv haben kannst. Was “deine Zonen” angeht, ist der ganze Hintergrund zu ZoneSense ja, dass diese eben nicht statisch sind, sondern je nach Tagesform nach oben oder unten verschieben. Ein Easy run ist nach mehreren Stunden eben nicht mehr an derselben Herzfrequenz easy als einfaches Beispiel…

@Ars-Vitae yes, everyone, it seems that the feature is broken since many months (years ?), and you’re not the first one to report it here. but Suunto seems to have this in the lowest priority bugfix

@Samyon-Shahnovitch website tells me it will be shipped on Dec 3rd (at least for Germany) [image: 1764226920631-502dbdbc-44d4-4aee-8ae4-53992de76a32-image.png]

@PBord no you can’t switch to watch mode but the time is visible on every activity screen except map and climb guide if I remember correctly.

@Krzysztof-Borkowski Do not disconnect that old phone Suuntoapp from your account. And try to refresh the home page (swipe down the whole screen). Which app version is it? I am not super sure what to do (or not to do) I would personally first : update the app to latest version, and see if sync to cloud is appearing. If not, if would probably pair a Suunto watch to it, sync the watch a’d see. @Brad_Olwin ? @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos?

@graciti In its current form (separate service and app), this isn’t possible. The watch maintains only one connection. SuuntoApp disconnects. For this reason, I don’t use this service.

@yoora Came here looking for a solution to a similar question. I recently ran a race that is a short 5K (the actual distance is closer to 4.68 km). However, my watch reported that I ran 5.18 km, a full 0.5 km farther than the actual course length with a significantly faster average pace than I actually held. When I navigate to Settings -> Connectivity -> Paired Devices -> Stryd X on my watch, it shows “SPEED & CADENCE, POWER”. I’m assuming these are the metrics the watch is sourcing from the pod. Does this mean that distance is coming from GPS? This was a downtown race, but there is only one “tall” building that is 17 floors, the second tallest is 8 floor, and the rest are 4 floors or shorter. It was a clear sky, and the street is very wide. The watch has very good view of the sky. So I don’t think buildings would cause poor GPS signals. I ran this race with other friends, and all their watches recorded 4.5-4.7 km. I’m the only outlier with 5.18 km. None of them have Suunto though, but as I understand it, I have multiband GPS, so it should not have been a problem anyway. So what is sourcing pace and distance? The watch or the pod? Or is pace coming from the pod and distance from the watch?

Also nothing from my (Elite Misuro) bikepod with November Rain Firmware. Should this be fixed with the current version?

I buyed it to try and unfortunatly I can answer the question. It doesn’t work with Suunto - but with Garmin 🤮 The Sensor connects via Bluetooth, but delivers no readings. On Garmin with ANT everything works out of the box

I was fiddling with my watch and accidentally deleted all the watchfaces on the SA, and to my surprise, I found this cool easter egg. Out of curiosity, is it supposed to be an energy-saving WF or what? [image: 1764488937437-signal-2025-11-30-084638.jpeg]

@StuieD Yes. Very annoying since it messed up the sleep timer and therefore also a lot of other topics

I finally got the following response from Suunto support. I hope they will fix the algorithm soon “I’ve received an update from our internal team regarding the heart rate behavior you described. While we don’t yet have a confirmed release date, please rest assured that your case has been forwarded and is fully known to the team. Our development team is actively working on an update to address this issue, and I’ll keep you informed as soon as I receive any news regarding your case.”
