Out of curiosity, what’s the purpose of the mini magnet? Fastener?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
This thread should be forwarded to support

It keeps “finger cover” fixed/attached to outer side of palm when cover is “opened”.
This cover allows my gloves to be used as mitten (in really cold weather) or glove with opened fingers.

Perhaps, Suunto support should be notified about following hint:

one should use watch in Compass mode (after compass has been calibrated) as a detector of magnetic field or metal construction.

Move your watch (with active Compass) in the vicinity of your gear/clothes/whatever. If your watch instead of showing compass will ask you to ‘Calibrate compass’, then you’ve found source of your possible problems with Compass, hence jeopardized FusedTrack functionality, and messed your tracks, as a result, whenever watch will get close to that source …

Oh I see … That’s why I like the good ol’ buttons or velcro

Are you sure those buttons can pass given above hint with Compass test?

@kolyany4 I miss all of the fun when I am asleep:). I have very similar gloves but they fasten with Velcro not magnets… I am happy to hear that the problems may be solved. Magnets on many items these days are very strong and I can see how a magnet close to the watch would disrupt the compass. Good to know.

Awesome topic
Good to know, because I also wanted to buy such gloves

Today had another run. Results are OK (5.33 km vs 5.14 km).
However, another bug was found. But this one is related to “SA -> Strava” autosync:

ps. I would make screenshot images to appear smaller in my messages, if I knew how to do it using only forum tools…

Track looks quite OK
