Suunto vertical ascent/ descent totally incorrect
-
@Mff73 If it works with microphones, maybe it will also be suitable for watches
-
Strange about wind effect : I have used my vertical several times in very windy conditions and never observed such elevation errors.
(I didn’t know where to put this so I put it here : I wanted to notice that SV works awesomely well under clothes/gloves, even in very cold weather with big gloves + 3 layers => that’s a point I wanted to notice. My A3P and my S9b were very poor in this case with elevations errors and GPS accuracy loss).

@Tieutieu Vertical and the previously used 9PP measure point height very accurately. No issues with that.
The problem is with these spikes visible on the chart - sudden, small, but very frequent changes in elevation. -
@maszop I had perfectly understood that issue => never had such behaviour even in very windy conditions
-
@maszop
and the last solution would be also to consider your watch as faulty.
it is not nice, but sometimes it may happen.
years ago i had issues with my spartan ultra, searching for all possible solutions about baro issues and ascent/descent.
RMA one day, and baro sensor was faulty : new watch never had any issues.
(not related to wind though). -
@Mff73 Two watches are faulty?
9PP and Vertical, maybe, but very hard to believe.
Maybe I can test another Vertical very soon. -
Back in the days when I still owned a S9B, altitude was still recorded for windsurfing activities. The altiude graph went all over the place and I ended up with hundereds of meters of ascend and descend values. The graph above looks very clean. Nothing like the graphs I saw when it was influenced by the wind.
Maybe the algorithm changed over the years, but I don’t know if wind is the issue this time. -
@surfboomerang Something has changed because my problems started with 9 Peak Pro. Previously, in the case of Traverse and 9 Baro, despite much lower accuracy, there was no such disaster.

Hi!
I have encountered the same issue. On an extremely windy day, my 9 Peak Pro reported an elevation of 2400m when the hike (validated with my partner’s Garmin) was around 1100m.
This is the first time I have experienced such a disparity, hiking or cycling. -
