        Not fixed 😕 problem remains: first agps update after watch reset is okay, but subsequent agps updates fail.

        1- sync with SA on 31/7 —> watch was till stuck on 2019-07-12 aftee sync (as usual)

        2- 12s reset watch —> watch shows n/a (as usual)

        3- sync with SA on 31/7 —> watch updated to most recent 2019-07-31 (as usual)

        4- sync with SA on 1/8 —> watch remains on 2019-07-31 (as usual)

        Using iOS 12.3.1 / SA 1.10(7268) / S9 2.8.24

              I confirm
              Still 31/07 one hour ago, 01/08 now.
              It is working. Gps file is per day and not always at 00:00 for everyone.

                Hi, synced now and still nothing. The time format indicates that it should be utc time (t00:00:00z), so it should be in deed available by now for sure.

                …And now I connected to Movescount and … tadaa, it did the agps update, it is 2019-08-01. (No parsing delay btw)

                I am having this issue ever since I switched to Suunto app ~end May. I am clueless. Can it be that I am the only one having this issue? 😮

                  Hi this can be coincidence. AGPS is updated once per day and there is no need to be updated in a more frequent manner. (even 2 days are ok or more)

                  So yes switching apps can force this but you should not worry so much for 24h differences

                    @Mff73 A-GPS Almanac is calculated once a day and has a “validity” timestamp from which time it can be used. Here you find some almanacs: https://celestrak.com/GPS/almanac/SEM/2019 and for the mentioned timestamp this is a calculator to bring it in readable format: https://www.labsat.co.uk/index.php/en/gps-time-calculator
                    And for the details please get you some coffee and read this: https://www.gps.gov/technical/icwg/IS-GPS-200H.pdf

                    Have fun 🙂 !

                    BTW: this still does not tell, at which time Suunto is downloading it either direct or via their server and from where …

                      Hi, as I said AGPS is working fine for me as well. But I don’t know if it is somehow related, but since this problem with AGPS my Spartan Sport has one problem. 3 or 4 times per day they “freeze” - I can use buttons and even touchscreen, but datas are missing - I don’t see battery level, steps, calories, weekly training time … Only solution is to reset them, manually or after few minutes it performs reset automatically.
                      And it seems its battery draining as well. I lost 30% after two days without using gps. That’s about two times faster as it was before.

                      I already reinstalled Suunto app to eliminate possible sync problems. Few times I noticed “frozen” watch after notification on mobile which didn’t arrived on watch (but not always there was this case), so maybe some problem there.

                      But I want to ask, is there some option to reinstall FW in watch? If reinstalling Suunto app doesn’t works, I would try that.

                          Hi, sure. I was only trying to validate the hypothesis that there is something missing / not fixed, it was not a case for necessity. 😉

                          In any case, today it still shows 2019-08-01 despite it should be 2019-08-04, so I think maybe there’s another issue here besides the other one. 😕

                          What do you think? / Is there any other info that I can contribute with to get this solved? Or can you or someone recommend a few other topics which I should check to see if those are better related to my issue? 🙂 🙏

                              Hey guys,
                              My watch says 2019-08-14T00:00:00Z
                              Today is the 1st of October. I am syncing the watch almost daily with the Suunto app. Not with Mc. I also got gps problems. Takes minutes to find the signal. I suspect this is the problem with the agps date? I will now try to do a watch restart. I did. the restart now and it is stuck at N/A. I will now wait some time to see if it changes.

                                  Hmm… Mine stopped updating again apparently. The last update was 2019-09-28.

                                        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos that’s ok for finding the satellites visible to retrieve the Ephemerides data, which is needed for position calculation. I believe this is a very good source for understanding why it takes some time to get a good GPS fix:

                                          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, Well, it is still 2019-09-28 despite syncing daily. In my experience once it fails to update once it gets stuck and stop doing any further updates. The 12 sec reset does fix it but it is still a buggy behavior.

                                          Not everyone will know to even look at AGPS but they will be getting slow times to acquire GPS and/or poor GPS accuracy and will blame Suunto.
