Watch unusable in wind

I think that further discussion is pointless because we have been writing the same thing for years and years go by and nothing happens.
Actually, just at the end of last year me and others provided Suunto with activity data for the same use case you have, bad weather (and wind in particular) affecting the ascent/descent calculation.
I believe it has not been prioritized because it happens to only some, and not always, and there is always something more urgent to fix. -

@Stefano-M64 interestingly enough, the more you smooth and correct, the more you end up losing real-time metrics like pace or vertical speed
a good algorithm should be able to process raw data by eliminating noise and spurious values. Of course, that depends also on the kind of activity. For “slow” activities as walking or hiking data smoothing over 1 minute should give good results. It happens relatively often that SA gives altitude related metrics that are overestimated, only by importing the gpx data into an app (I use OruxMaps) that allow to the filter the data I get values that agree with the expected ones.

@isazi Improving this current algorithm is essential - current measurements are often completely useless.
Yesterday’s example:
Suunto Vertical measurements -1502m:
Strava data - 1083m:
Garmin Fenix 7 - 1157m:
Suunto data after smoothing - 1198m:
It seems that the measurements from Garmin 7 look the best.
Suunto measurements - better not to even comment on that.
