Spartan update complains

[sartoric]

@drezvoff
as @DMytro suggested, that kind of small altitude variations mostly creates those “discrepancies” on NON baro watches

[DRezvoff]

@dmytro @sartoric small discrepancies, it is 10-30m, not 500m!

@drezvoff

Maybe it was a not so good GPS day, with “high” altitude readings error (due to GPS data in this area this day), and in top of that, this track is quite wavy and ““flat”” (let say mini/maxi hills are 30m, right ?).
SSWHR is cutting each small ascents less than 7m, it is by design.
If GPS altitude errors are 15/20m in the bad direction for you (let say, each time it minimize the ascent), then you might have this high difference result (not good for you, but with an explanation). But all this already have been explained.

I also have a Spartan NON Baro, and for me, this is not usable.
The good news (for S line members) is that, Suunto had made a change in their algo, so S5 and newer NON Baro watches will benefit from that.
Also an SA, “elevation correction” will improve the experience for us.

@suzzlo what change do you mean? I do hill repeats with my S9 and out of 75m elevation per repeat, it only counts about a half.

@drezvoff
I never talked about “small” discrepancies, as the more you go the more the difference increase.

Anyway, there are at least 2 big threads focused on this topic, so it’s better to search it and move the discussion there, if you don’t find enough information.

@dmytro Sorry, I have had an error, this firmware update was only available for S9P - “New Ascent/Descent algorithm” https://forum.suunto.com/topic/7061/software-update-2-18-18-sept-28-2021

[DMytro]

@suzzlo oh yes, that one I’m aware of.

[DRezvoff]

@suzzlo in SA will appear, as in Strava - “elevation correction” ???

[DRezvoff]

@mff73 problem with accuracy determining height constant…
yesterday’s workout:
SuuntoApp ascent 256.5m.
Strava ascent 867m

[DRezvoff]

@sartoric where is the branch in which they will help solve this problem with accuracy of height determination?..

Try some search magic
You cannot “solve” this behavior (if it isn’t due to some GPS signal quality) the threads are just explaining/discussing the topic

Why does the clock when training is started and battery power drops by 2% loses all climbing data?!

@DRezvoff I don’t know why that is. If it’s spartan, I haven’t had any problems before. Plus it’s my main source of inspiration in my work.
