Wrong cumulative elevation gain

rfernandes79

Hello
I got some problems of positive elevation in my Suunto 9.
I do a ride this morning with 2 watches and the result:
Elevation 98 m from my new suunto 9(buy in 31-01-2020)
Elevation 195 m from my Garmin Vivoactive HR(buy in 2017)

And the right one is the Garmin

Anyone with the same problem ?

Thanks for help

Garmin Vivoactive HR

Suunto 9 or 9 Baro?

Garmin Vivoactive HR has a barometer so it is more precise.

Suunto 9 (non baro ) doens’t have one.

@rfernandes79 in short: GPS only data are very erratic.

On Flat they can register too much
On great ascents they look ok.

Suunto uses a 7m filter (you have to climb 7 to get 7m ascent or more).

however! On strava you can correct this! If that is what interests you
