      @Olaf-Gottschalk same Problem with Bluetooth heart rate Sensor… Suddenly breaks and lost for the whole Session

      I am convinced it is a bug in Suunto’s BT algorithm combined with how some sensors enter a sleep mode or something like this. For my HR sensor (Wahoo) it never had an issue like my Wahoo SpeedPlay power pedals have. But yes, I can see the exact same problem happening with any kind of sensor.

      Suunto’s BT software is kind of unforgiving once it loses connection. Will never return, never recover, and does not give the user a feedback and option to reconnect in the session. That is the problem.

      Plus: it was NOT an issue prior to Suunto changing the complete BT stack!

        Hey guys it happened to me a while ago and I found an easy solution that doesn’t require stopping current activity.

        After power meter disconnects, go to activity menu (long press bottom button) then go to battery mode and switch to Tour mode. This disables Bluetooth on watch. Wait for a moment, then switch it back to Performance or any other profile. That will reenable watch Blueatooth again and the watch reconnects with power meter 😊

          I don’t have a power meter to test, but if this works, it is a genius workaround! 🤯

            I’m having a similar problem with a Suunto 9 Peak Pro and a 4iiii crank power meter. Mine drops out continuously and comes back on its own after a couple of seconds. Dropouts are very sporadic and happen through the whole duration of rides.
            I’ve tried replacing the power meter battery, and a factory reset through the 4iiii mobile app. What I haven’t yet tried is a hard reset of the power meter.
            All the devices have had their FW updated to the latest versions.
            Will try the hard reset and report back.
