      For some weeks now, I’m noticing huge errors in altimeter readings on Suunto 9 now (not only during activities, but also when I’m at home or outside sitting in one place). It regularly shows altitude 100-200m higher, I’ve tried to clean it more thorough than usual, but it helps only for 10-20 mins.
      I’ve tried to change altitude manually or set it to adjust automatically, but it instantly changes to some bizarre reading.

      Now it also ?freezes? during activity tracking, gps quality drops suddenly and the hr readings drops without any reason. I’m attaching few activities.

      Activity 1
      altitude problems, gps drop, ?HR drop?

      Activity 4
      Huge HR drop, watch was not moved, strapped as usual, lifting or taking off and putting it back did not help.

      Activity 5
      GPS and HR drop (That’s a shame, it was quite good segment effort 😞 )

      Please help 😢

        Did you already try soft reset ?
        Search for fridge test, just to check the sensor

          Yes, of course I’ve tried soft reset.

          I will do the fridge test now and post results.

          What with the other issues though?

                This is my altitude graph since last soft reset. My altitude was the same all the time, but s9 travelled up and down apparently. FE8B86BC-574A-4190-9D8E-6CFE71D9BF8F.jpeg

                  @sartoric My altitude changes all the time without the fridge sooo, I don’t think that this results have any value… 😄
