@Fizzgig said in Suunto Vertical: Bug Collection: Hey @Fizzgig i have this Problem with my OHR Sometimes, dont know until today what exactly is there the Problem. If you have unreally OHR readings BTW when you sit but your OHR shows 145 bpm i make a Manual measurement with my Pulse on my radialis artery. And the funny thing ist the OHR measurement from the watch is EXACTLY the double BPM as i measured with my Fingers. For me worked then to take my watch off from my wrist for many Seconds until the OHR did not show the heart rate (10 seconds perhaps) and put it Back in my wrist. All works fine then
hope this helps a little bit 
Thanks Brad, I hope so too but I donāt see how I can fix this. I tried a lot of thingsā¦ Tighten the bracelet more (with a nice red mark at the end of the day), wear it higher, shave the part of skin in contact with the sensor to see if my hair was not a problem. obstacle to reading. I know that the sensors on the arm are reliable on some people and others not. I can understand. But why is the step counting not up to par?
To be completely honest, itās in the return box but I wonder if Iām not doing something stupid. Maybe an update is planned? I really like the watch (the object), the way it is made, the image of Suunto but all these problems prevent me from using it correctly (for what I want to do with it)I wish I could help here, a couple others have seen this as well @GiPFELKiND being one of them. There are occasional updates to the OHR firmware but I have no idea if a new one is coming.
The step counting is another issue, on the high end watches Suunto does not have the same step counting algorithm as on the S5Peak. The thought being those that are using these watches are not as concerned about steps. That includes me, I have the widget deleted and if I could remove the step information from my Suunto App I would, I just have no use for it and donāt care. I realize others do.
I think the OHR issue is obviously a serious one as a lot of information is calculated from those data. -
Not exactly a bug but more a standard sport mode setting (so same behavior for every watches).
When resort skiing, the watch works just fine to count downhills : numbers, distance, D-
But finally in the app the total distance of the activity is the total distance : downhills + Ā«Ā uphillsĀ Ā» (on chairlifts). Same for D+.
I always correct manually total distance of the activity to match total downhill distance, and I correct D+ to 0.
It would be great if ski resort activity could do that by default.Suuntoās devices at home :

@Tieutieu I rarely ski at resorts but thought uphill was not counted. A tester has reported this as a potential bug. We will see what Suunto says.

@Tieutieu Yeah. In my 2022 yearly summary I see this for alpine skiing:
This 276 km distance is unfortunately the overall distance (downhill + uphill).
When I tap that to see the individual activities, I get this:
Here, it correctly shows downhill only (together 166 km)ā¦

Hi. Since the last update my recourse are always 99% no matter how the day before was. If I had a hard training day or had a cold or had a couple of beers it always shows 99%. The HRV indicate quite well my status. I have tried a soft reset and it started at 70% but the day after it is 99% again. As it is now itās not useful at all. How does your recourses behave?
-
Same (admittedly on a S9PP). Then again I also wear a Garmin 955 and routinely ignore the body battery
-
I would say my Resources level is different at the start of many days. Last week I had days where it started at 70% and 82% - I think because I had 2 big gym sessions, and not the best sleep, and also with low HRV.
I have done no real exercise in the last 36 hours, and my Resources this morning were finally back up to 99% (Donāt recall ever seeing 100%, but maybe by the time I check I have already been awake / doing things for a while?).
So in that way, I have to say that the Resources widget does give a reasonable indication of where I am at.
-
@Swaddy61 Thanks for your answer. I wonder why it differs from you. For ex. I commute to work by bike every day ca 20k and three days of the week I gym 30 min before I start to work and run 30-40min on my lunch break and I every afternoon/ evening I go out with my dog for 1-2 hours. So I guess the resources should be different. I wonder if the metrics are stuck some how.
-
@helgonet12 Or you are just so fit that you hardly use resources to do that work!!!
-
@Swaddy61 I wish
. -
@helgonet12 What do your Resources drop too? I have gone back through the last week (on the App) and I got as low as 14% some days (after high intensity training - Iām also probably not as fit as youā¦), then I only recover to 60% or so overnight.
It your Resources arenāt dropping so much then maybe you are not getting good 24/7 HR readings from the watch? I get pretty good 24/7 results, and wear a strap for ārealā training (i.e anything other than casual walking or biking), which may explain my realistic Resource levels. I canāt say they are accurate to +/- 5% or anything, but overall the Resource level aligns with how I feel, in broad terms.

@Swaddy61 it drops between 25 to 50 the last week. Mostly 25 which is also strange
-
@helgonet12 Hmmmā¦ I donāt know what else to suggest!
-
@Swaddy61 thanks for trying. Letās wait and see what the next update will bring.
-
@Swaddy61 the HR readings are quite good compared to others. So it canāt be it. I have also tried different resting HR but with same results.
The HRV results are also good. Does any one else have this problem or are your recourses work? -
I got lost with the previous discussion on this, but maybe changing your RHR would help?
-
@wakarimasen thanks for the answer but I have tried this but with same result.
-
I noticed that after circuit training with backlight always on, the backligth stays on and to shut it off I have to either soft reset or today I hactivated the flashlight and it worked.

I donāt know if it is a bug and it has been reported before. But when pressing and holding the lower button you use the short cut and it goes to control panel. Which is correct. But it doesnāt show battery, alarm (if you have one active) and day , date and month. You need to press up to see this info. I use this short cut a lot since you cannot have date on the watch face. ( I know you can press the screen and change) but use the shortcut goes faster thang change it on the watch face because you need to first press the button to āwakeā up the watch and the change it on the watch face and I often need to press multiple times before it reacts. Not always but often. And since the watch faces probably will not change ( according to a forum admin/ field tester in another tread) it would be nice if this gets fixed.

I think I found another possible bug yesterday.
During my run with custom mode I realized that the option to turn off wrist hr during activity does not work.
I tried twice.
