Body Resources general whackiness

Patrick Rx

@andré-faria about every 2nd day the resources are below 20% at lunchtime when I am in office. This resources feature does not work at all and is more or less useless (not even an approximate guessing) Today it dropped from 80% to 30% in 3h. It usually drops way faster when sitting or standing around than during an activity (with average hr >130bpm)

@giacomo-laffranchini would also suggest checking your HR zones, and making sure they are appropriate.

@jamie-bg Hi! I have tried that but with same result. The body resources are going from 85% in the morning and after 15min slow walk with the dog it is down to 35% and by lunch it is down to 0%. I have tried soft reset, hard reset but with the same result. Both on S9B & S9Peak

@jamie-bg thank you for the tip. Not sure whether or not my zones are indeed “appropriate.” What i did is: performing some tests with an HR chest monitor to find out max HR and resting HR, set the values in the watch, and let the watch calculate/adjust zones accordingly. I assume should be suitable approach, but perhaps there is a more precise approach that I am not aware of.

Zones don’t matter, resting, max hr, age height etc influence calc.

I wore s7 and S9P today, they seem to be in agreement.

@lexterm77 indeed i noticed that by increasing resting HR ( actually beyond what is my actual HR) and increasing max HR ( beyond my actual) resources are somehow more stable and declining at a lower pace. However, the side effect of doing so is that the watch struggles to precisely detect when I felt asleep. I guess my HR while reading before going to bed went below the resting HR set in the watch.
I guess by paying with the two numbers one could try finding the sweet spot.

@giacomo-laffranchini

Your hr will go below resting hr when horizontal. Sensors not detecting movement for a while will assume you are asleep. It takes time to determine and my sleeping times are a little bit off when I wear them both, but not a lot. I also monitor movement with sleep app on iPhone and all 3 agree with each other to a 5min.

This issue affects all watches currently and I am afraid it’s outside Suunto. We have spent quite some effort to remedy this and atm it’s not on our hands.

I am talking specifically about the sudden drop after something easy. Easily reproducible with a stretching or yoga activity.

Thanks, will this issue be corrected in next update or soon? Firstbeat 1 year time

@mountainchris I don’t know yet to be honest.
