Errors in the Walking Activity
-
Hi @stavros-_clinica-orl ,are you wearing the watch on the left or right hand? I had the same problem and I think it’s a problem with the calculation algorithm when you wear the watch in the left hand.
Two examples:
-
Slow walk of 2,9km:
- Suunto Spartan Sport (right hand): 3312 steps. (87cm/step)
- Suunto 9 Peak (left hand): 2264 steps. (128cm/step) Impossible!!
-
Fast walk of 2,3 km:
- Suunto Spartan Sport (left hand): 2343 steps. (98 cm/step)
- Suunto 9 Peak (right hand): 2246 steps. (102 cm/step) Both possible!!
I have more trainings behaving in the same way, so please try it out.
Also, if you analize the Cadence graphic in the left hand S9P behaves erratic some times, but in right hand things are OK.

@isazi Is there any date scheduled?

@vcebrian can’t say, but usually there’s a software release every quarter.

I have been asked by the Italian customer service to report my findings on the error issues related to the Walking activities, using the watch on the Left and the Right hand (I am right-handed). I tested the 9SP in 2 ten KM sessions, with the WalkMeter App in GPS mode in my Iphone 11 Pro . In the second one I even used another cheaper Wearable to see differences in the performance. Details on the testing have been provided in my previous post.
I was surprised to see the differences between L and R tests… even in the GPS assisted activities. 9SP shows erroneous estimations in the step count, distances (both wearables overestimated the distance by 80 m) and calories consumption. The Left hand measurements are the worst.
Of course these are samples of the observed problems, numerous repetitions are needed to define the margins of these errors.

Yeah, this has now been posted like 5 times in this thread. From top to bottom.
Seems like nobody listens or cares…
I will stop repeating it.
