@cody-parker I think you want the sync to Strava to let Strava do it’s correction on ascent but it’s not happening because it’s listen to Strava as a device with barometer ?

[pilleus]

The ascent can be corrected in Strava if the watch is recognised as a watch with barometer. No problem.

@cody-parker you can correct the data by using “Adjust elevation” in menu. In Android:

Actually is a good question if Strava treats both Suunto 9 and Suunto 9 Baro as the same watch.
Could someone with S9B say what model Strava shows in the app for S9B - just Suunto 9 or Suunto 9 Baro?

@pavel-samokha Strava only writes Suunto 9 for the baro.

[pilleus]

Just write to Strava and ask for a correction in the database of known watches. I have best experience with the support.

@isazi Thanks, I’ll try to report this. Our partner API documentation clearly states that they are different models with different capabilities.

[pavel.samokha]

@pilleus yep, if customers report this it would be good as well. Link to prod ids and capabilities available here https://apizone.suunto.com/docs/services/workout-api/operations/export-user-workout-in-fit

I have the S9B but as already stated it shows on Strava as S9. I don’t usually see a lot adjustment when I use the edit feature, it’s often less than 10m even when there’s been a ton of climb

I remember when I had the S9 (non baro), the adjustment was a lot more. Was sometimes a good 50m or so

just another side note: my Suunto 7 in Strava is listed as “Suunto” only…
