S+ parkrun
-
I have installed the app and set my parkrun number in the app. However, on my watch
I still see the default QR code[EDIT: the code is correct, but it looks different than in my 5k app] and A------ instead of my ID. Any hints? -
hi @kriskus which watch?
could you try to re-sync? -
@schreck It’s a bit odd. I tested this on Race 2, which should be similar in hardware/software to Vertical 2.
If anyone with a Vertical 2 (or another model) experiences the same issue, please let me know.
I’ll try to figure out what could happened.
-
Just tested it.
And it works well as described here.
I can enable the parkrun S+ app and another one at the same time.
A test scan with my phone showed the number.
All good here on Vertical 2
-
I just rechecked. Ineed, the QR code works OK (it’s different than in my 5k app, but they both resolve to the correct UserID), although as in the picture above - the number isn’t displayed, just A------
-
@kriskus right. The number needs a fix. Though as I understand it is not needed for the purpose of this S+
-
@Egika Right, the QR code is enough. I was misled by the fact that my parkrun code in the 5k app looks different, but that’s probably how QR works - two different QR codes can mean the same number.
@Nikolai-Simonov - thanks a lot! You just made my life a little bit better
-
@Egika - and BTW if you’re concerned about privacy, you can edit your post. The QR code links to your real name

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I’ll take a look at why the text field couldn’t update.
Regarding the difference between the 5k QR and the S+ QR that’s totally fine!
QR codes can encode the same data and still look different due to factors like ECC level, matrix size, padding, and the chosen QR mode (numeric, byte, etc.).
I believe the 5k version uses slightly different settings.For the watch, where resources are limited, I’m using a hardly reduced version of the algorithm that includes only the essential features.

@Nikolai-Simonov Thanks! Every day something new (even if I’m from IT myself
) -

no worries. My real name is so generic, that it is almost anonymous

Haha, indeed it is…

@Steven-Hambleton from a few posts I read here I can see your initial enthusiasm about Suunto faded very quickly. What happened?
Sorry for the off-topic. Well done @Nikolai-Simonov !
