SSU 2.5.18 - ON AIR

@stromdiddily About Glonass, my vague memory was that it was not improving the GPS accuracy in most cases, only for some (very) specific regions. E.g. in Western Europe activating Glonass would result in a less accurate trace than without.
Am I wrong thinking that? I actually never tried it myself, no facts being my vague memory

I, too, am loving the updated chronograph-style watch face. That the step counter and the recovery time rings persist now is great. Especially the recovery time. Not having to scroll down a couple of screen displays and tap the screen to bring that up anymore is awesome.

@jean-william-cousin try it! we had better results that spartans but still not so “stable”
For me its a good extra but not my main source.
I am waiting for (song starts) Galilleo, and the new Sony FW

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

As of “no stable” is that the improvement vs random error could be compared to GPS with glonass and GPS going to their own special cases.

• I prefer Glonass in the woods
• I prefer GPS only on the Road

I pressed the top button by mistake and (probably) created a multisport entry.

Let see how the watch handled it.

SA seems mostly fine except the HR graph. It seems it has captured the HR graph from second one second long activity.

So, information is missing from both the watch and SA. Did not upload yet to MC

@Tim4c I like your mockups!

[stromdiddily]

FW update wiped today’s run from this week’s training summary on the watch. Anyone else see this?

Yeah I’ve seen similar claims. I have a few routes that I run a lot (woods and urban) so really just interested to experiment.

Still no way to set barometer for each activity (or in standby mode) or calibrate altimeter during activities. Since Movescount link is broken we can’t no longer set barometer (auto, altimeter or barometer) for each activities…

[SlaSh]

@renton82 you mean in suunto app sport customization?

[renton82]

@SlaSh Yes, or maybe from watch menu directly…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@renton82 watch menu is coming

[renton82]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks!

[renton82]

Also power off “button” would be nice… there are periods that i can’t use the watch and for me it would be better to switch it off instead of leave it discharging or remember to charge it, they are all useless charges cycles…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@renton82 I would not leave a lithium device unused

[renton82]

Ok, but you could always leave it at 50% of charge for storage as i do with all my elctronic devices (cameras, drone, watches power banks etc…). It would be nice if you can let us a chance of choice…

[SlaSh]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it is perfectly fine to leave it half charged and turned off, instead of leaving powered and letting it to discharge and be left discharged for prolonged time that can make damage to battery…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@SlaSh if you let the watch off and the battery drops to actuall 0 you will loose watch memory as of time etc.

[renton82]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos But if you leave it at 50% and you switch it off it would be fine…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@renton82 I think yes
