@surfboomerang there has been no GPS firmware update for the S9P since it was released, though.

surfboomerang

@isazi But @zhang965 was talking about the S9B. That watch did got new GPS firmware right?

@surfboomerang @zhang965 is talking about the S9P here.

I talk about S9B and S9P… both of them had a very brilliant GPS performance, but after some months later…another story.

@zhang965 if this was really the case and is not just perception, then there is absolutely no technical reason for the watch being the reason for this.
GPS quality can depend to the GPS system settings, weather, season, solar activity, and so many other things…

yes, but the GPS quality drops on my S9P, do I have to study the weather, season, solar activity and other things before my exercise?

seriously, Since my weight has boosted, my S9P’s GPS quality is getting worse and worse.

of course not. Because no one has any influence on those things. I am just saying that varying GPS performance has nothing to do with the watch insides as that has not changed for a while.

Sw wise no. We would not do any degradation etc.

However, HW wise you never know.

Egika

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos HW does not change while you own it

@egika temperature, pressure, fluids etc can affect sensitive equipment, such as our watches, and may degrade it by constant exposure. I think @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos to that type of changes was referring.

yep, I noted there were some GPS speed drops during my exercise.

and this bug has been fixed after that I lost 3 pounds

Next step, stop alcohol and it will fix GPS issues.

@mff73
no worries about smileys
…my initial thought was: what comes next? stop chocolate and alti issues will be fixed?

@freeheeler alti issues will stop only if you stop jumping around.
