@isazi said in Stryd:

“then an expensive watch scandal happened.”

@isazi Which version is it? If it’s the Next Gen they released last year, would you be interested in selling it if you haven’t already?

isazi

@atoponce it was not the next gen, it was from 2019, and I sold it on our local marketplace (for more than I expected)

Small bug when using Stryd footpod, if the footpod has empty battery during the workout, the Suunto Vertical doesn’t switch automatically to native power but remain to 0w for the rest of the run. Pace and distance are them well updated.

isazi

@v-sacre paired as power or foot pod?

v.sacre

@isazi Footpod.

EzioAuditore

@v-sacre weird since the power never comes from the foodpod as I understood by ‘natively’ from the watch.

I reported this some time back and was told automatic switching to wrist-power when Stryd Baterry dies is not a feature present at the moment

suzzlo

@herlas same happends with the HR band… I mean, no switch once you start.

isazi

@herlas same for HR, if your external sensor dies the wrist OHR does not automatically start.

v.sacre

Not the end of the world, but both for OHR and power, this should be easy to implement!?

suzzlo

@v-sacre but…

what if you are swimming? HR band should be recording data in the internal memory, and synchronizing later
what if I have a dis/re-connection? should watch jump from one device to other? this could cause really bad data

We (users) have been requesting a sensor management rebuild, to be able to connect more than one HR band, power devices… I hope that Suunto is working on that, and they could take this also in consideration

Hi
I ran a 10km race today and got 10.30km on my Suunto Vertical with Stryd paired as a footpod and auto-calibration turned off. No one else near me had that extra distance (maybe just a few metres) and it put my pace out thinking I was going faster than I was!

My Stryd has seemed accurate since I paired it with my new Vertical watch a month of so ago. But I ran the software update yesterday and just before the race started when I went to exercise mode my watch went blank like it was dead. I pressed buttons frantically and it came on again. I did a short warm up with watch/stryd and then the race.

Do you think the distance/calibration could have been thrown by the update? I checked and auto-calibrate was off. Also I had the ghost runner app on - could that have changed anything?

I have now repaired the Stryd and turned auto-calibrate off - should this fix the issue?

Thanks

@loopylou72 I am not using Stryd for accurate distance anymore. Dual frequency gps is accurate enough for nearly all situations now. Stryd is even worse in most situations because it’s highly dependent on the shoes I am using. When I am switching from my fast shoes to trail shoes or different kind of shoes I need different calibration factors. How annoying is that? That’s why I am back to the roots: Distance from my watch.

@loopylou72 I have the Suunto Race, Fênix 7 solar and forerunner 955 I use stryd with Garmin with stryd only for power, with Suunto I don’t even use stryd,the power numbers are almost the same with same height and weight.the only problem using stryd with Suunto is when you pair Stryd,pace and distance came from Stryd,and everyone knows how Stryd is inaccurate without calibration factor for every single pair of shoes and even pace.

RightNow

@tiago yes. That’s true. But isn’t it true that you can still use stryd when paired as a PowerPod? Then only power is used.

Is it right or wrong?
