Firmware 3.19.16

I’m returning to the topic of “GPS quality.” This afternoon’s run: in the first red circle on the left, you can see a noticeable deviation from the main road. I enter my town’s sports field: there’s no running track (there used to be, now it’s just dirt and grass, but I can more or less run a 400-meter lap regularly), so I start running several laps, using predefined points as reference points (to ensure the laps are as “regular” as possible). As you can see from the rightmost circle (I highlighted this one because the deviation is more glaring), there are some errors in the GPS that, in my opinion, are too serious to be real… I should point out that, in this case too, I waited for a GPS signal before starting the run, with the battery set to “performance,” and that the sports field is completely outdoors.

@ShinJCD Did you have better tracks on this route before? With Suunto Run or other GPS watch?
Before the Suunto Run, I used a Huawei Fit 3, and the GPS tracking was nearly perfect. I’ve previously owned several Amazfits and a couple of “WearOS” smartwatches (Ticwatch and Oppo), but I’ve never encountered any issues like this. The Suunto Run is my first “serious” sports watch, and obviously, I wasn’t expecting such poor quality in this regard.

@ShinJCD I am no expert but your tracks look really bad. Perhaps a faulty device?

@ShinJCD you can use the track mode. It will also allow for running to and from the track nicely.

Today for the first time ever during the usual midday jogging the watch froze and restarted twice in a row. Both times it did not save anything
Another thing to report: as soon as I take the sensor off the chest strap, the sensor disconnection notification comes several minutes later (when I wear it, it is almost instantaneous) -

I know, but I wanted to do this simple test just to evaluate the quality of the GPS

I don’t know, in other circumstances like this (a simple walk on the beach) I haven’t noticed any problems.

Automatic workout save on low battery
Unfortunately, the activity isn’t saved if the watch shuts down due to an unknown problem. The shutdown doesn’t seem to be the trigger for the emergency save.
Problem description:
Today, the Suunto Run (software 3.19.16) had a few problems. During the first run, the connection to the Suunto Smart Belt was lost twice. I was able to reconnect manually. Later, it took three attempts to connect headphones that were already known. The second run went smoothly with the belt and headphones. During the third run, the watch suddenly vibrated and I saw the Suunto logo. The run wasn’t saved. -
Hi @Yves-Jenni
During the third run, the watch suddenly vibrated and I saw the Suunto logo. The run wasn’t saved.
it’s funny because today at noon the same thing happened to me! hope our report reaches the devs.

A few words about managing the anaerobic threshold. I’ll start by saying I bought the Suunto Run because some youtubers had confirmed it included a test… that’s not the case, but never mind, since the watch calculates it automatically. It’s a shame, though, that it’s not an absolute value. For example, about ten days ago, it showed a value based on my runs/workouts up to that point. Then, about a week ago, the value improved after a couple of interval workouts. Yesterday, I ran a long run in Z2 of about 11 km, and my anaerobic threshold returned to the levels it had ten days ago, simply because I ran slower. I think this is a huge mistake, because the anaerobic threshold is what it was and certainly can’t be influenced (or worsened) by a single workout.
The negative opinion on the GPS remains even yesterday, really approximate even on wide roads, without the presence of buildings or thick vegetation.
