@TELE-HO don’t adjust it?

yes, that’s what I said… don’t adjust it. Don’t do anything the watch can do better

With respect, there are regions and conditions where the watch shows notably worse results than a known position on a map and/or the occasional elevation marker immediately in front of the user. The satellite angles and/or weather may particularly screw one or both of the watch’s not-exactly-precise-in-the-vertical sensors that day. The area might be particularly well-surveyed, with sub-metre accuracy on elevation.

The Alti should Fuse GNSS, barometer AND known elevation, if told to. Hopefully the corrective would be incorporated if constant. E.g., if FusedAlti gets three up/down consistent corrections to user-known altitude, it applies a sensor-imprecision-humility fix to future estimations until corrected again.

To make that work the way you said: when is it the best to make this correction.

in the watchface at the height widget?
before an activity?
after activity was started?

Not quite sure about “the weight widget” but I would have the facility available at all times:

Outside activities (to provide reference for the barometer); within Navigation (and applied to any POIs created therein); and within Exercise (using Pause, perhaps, so that you don’t have to stop recording … tedious). Quickest shortcut access whichever way.

It obviously isn’t essential for stats on relative elevation/gain loss per move but if you’re using altitude as a navigation tool AND recording a track …

should have been “height” (or better would have been “altitude”)

Thx for answer.

No: you raised the crucial point originally … does the watch compensate for the average viewing elevation of a watch relative to the individual height entered in the personal stats? Forget the Digital Transition Blues: this could be the scandal that brings Suunto down!

I suggest hold down lower button 5s to turn on whitest possible light like Transverse Alpha.

Possible uses: not stubbing your toe while going to bathroom at night can improve running performance next day.

Solid Pro Tip.

But you might want to have an attachable red filter because getting solidly thumped by a partner woken by violent white light can also impede optimal performance goals.

I’d like to have a bone conducting speaker built in that guides me by voice to the bathroom that I do not need to open my eyes at all

Fenr1r

@TELE-HO Fascinating. Love the idea. Giving it way too much thought.

Spoken directions from the watch? All the way up your arm, shoulder and neck to your skull? Maintaining coherence through the connecting cartilage and other squishy bits? Or would a BT-paired earbud be more efficient/less likely to induce embarrassing spasms?

Relying on an immediate initial GPS lock and intra-room accuracy? I’m starting to see problems. Potentially messy ones.

@Fenr1r
sorry, I forgot this one:

Fenr1r

@TELE-HO My bad: I was having fun considering it as serious even as I assumed you were kidding. I reckon you could get a few cents on Kickstarter with the idea, tho’. PT Barnum said something to that effect.

freeheeler

@Fenr1r
absolutely!
coming from A3PS, I like basic function but am not restrictive for innovation… but a sportwatch should work within reason

You can plot a 3D course using s9b motion sensors like a gyro from bed to bathroom and vibration motor as a ping and echo picked up from bt paired microphone on your airpods to detect unexpected objects laying on the floor so you can safely navigate trough.

Problem is that firmware cannot solve this because of the amplitude limitations of the vibration motor

Solid Pro Tip.

But you might want to have an attachable red filter because getting solidly thumped by a partner woken by violent white light can also impede optimal performance goals.

It can be solved by entering general direction of your partner in settings and using motion sensor and built in compass, light can automatically dim or turn red every time you accidentally turn your watch towards your partner.

Or use bt signal strength to gradually reduce light output from backlight.

light can … turn red

Alright … I was willing to make myself into a cyber-bat but you’ve clearly crossed the line into deranged techno-fantasy here.

You are all missing the point. A long time ago in a forum far away…at the time the Ambit appeared there was one central driving request…a built in espresso maker. Now I realize how far ahead of his time the OP was! We need built in BT controls so when stumbling about in the bathroom waking up for the pre-dawn exercise the watch automatically starts the connected espresso maker. That would make my day.
