9pp OHR way off

@MILO83 said in 9pp OHR way off:
The temperatures have dropped here in EU but this surely cannot be the reason, right?
It is.
I start using a chest strap if temperatures drop under 10 degrees Celcius. If I keep using the OHR with these temperatures, it will become a little bit stable for me after 30-40 minutes when body temperature rises.
-
Ok, the temperatures matter, I know. But I never had such bad readings before. Ever. And I had a 9p before 9pp, so we’re talking about a couple of years.
The attached image is from yesterday’s indoor badminton session. It was cold but not below 10 degrees celsius. And my pulse should have been way higher as I was barely standing at the end
🫣.

badminton session
That’s another thing that affects my OHR readings: Wrist movement.
Even in high temperatures I get wild OHR readings during my windsurf sessions because of wrist movement and muscle tension.How is OHR for you during a run activity?
-
Just did a short test run. OHR seemed ok. It had a few strange drops but it found it’s way back.
I hold my racket with my right hand and wear my watch on the left one. Should not affect OHR. -
@MILO83 Maybe the arm movement is still too much, but I’m not a badminton expert.
-
Ok, we’re swimming in the wrong direction
. I’ve been playing badminton for 15 years (winter season only) and no issues with OHR until a couple of weeks ago.
Had some strange readings with alpine skiing and hiking also.
Two or three times after the last update the OHR stopped recording completely (24/7 and activities). A restart solved it.
Something strange is happening… will keep testing.
And to be clear!!! I’m not looking for reasons to buy the Race!!
-
@MILO83 Next time it stops, check to see if the LEDs are flashing green. If so, it is a recording issue, happens to me from time to time too and I think cold related (low blood flow). If the LEDs are not flashing I would try a hard reset since a soft reset seems to help.

Hi all,
I did a factory reset and nothing changed.
Hiking is not that good even during the Summer but now it’s even worse.Last hiking after the reset:
Last badminton after the reset:
When hiking 9pp OHR always had problems when HR drops but not like this.
With badminton… no comment needed I guess.I compared my activity with a colleague who was wearing the Vertical and even his HR was totally off. Ok, could be the temperatures (just above 10 deg C I guess) but this is just unusable :(.
-
And another comparison. Same hill, similar pace, similar form.

Can’t get a normal OHR reading for the past few weeks…
-
@MILO83 OHR can vary for me substantially. Best to compare on same run. Here are two examples of S9 Peak Pro OHR compared to a belt, both last week on the same firmware. One is great and one a poor match to the belt.
-
@Brad_Olwin at least you had one great one
!! I don’t expect the OHR to match the belt. I’m just saying I have been on Suunto OHR for a few years now and never experienced such constantly awful results. Will keep on testing. To bad I don’t have 2 watches for comparison. I have a belt though (if it’s still working). -
@MILO83 I don’t think anything has changed with OHR. Cold temperatures certainly makes it worse for me.
-
Having tried Garmin, Polar, Suunto and Fitbit, OHR on the last one is the closest that I’ve seen to a heart strap. I’m sure there are other people (including famous internet testers :)) that would disagree violently! I think that WHR is terribly specific to the person and how that person wears their watch.
-
@wakarimasen Not surprised as Fitbit is smaller and lighter and agree about individual variations.
-
Just as a bit of anecdotal information for this topic. I went out for a walk yesterday evening and logged it using my S9PP. During the walk, I noticed that the HR being shown seemed to be a bit ‘off’ compared to what I perceived to be correct. The watch was quote close to my wrist bone, and so I shifted it back a little. The result was much improved data, which I guess just shows how critical this placement is.
By the way, before anyone queries the ‘perception’ of what was correct, I was also wearing a Garmin 955 for comparison - I just didn’t want to mention it
