S9 is the top model

[A Former User]

any news on the changelog?
Someone posted new firmware for S3f.
So is it a bugfix release?

Hi,

Copy from Facebook “(Español) SUUNTO talks: Run4IQcommunity”

Update Suunto 9 2.1.64
ONLY FOR THE FIRST 5000 USERS.
The rest (if all goes well) would have its update in the coming days.
Main changes:
-Update GPS chip, it improves the distance and the track.
-Update of the FC sensor, the measurements have improved appreciably walking, especially when we stopped and we went ahead and the pulsations increased exorbitantly, now this is corrected and they are really good.

Just test it and zombie notification is still here

Thanks @omunoz !

What’s the ‘FC’ sensor? I think that means accelerometer…

I miss the days of the Ambit firmware updates when they wrote a detailed text file of what they’d changed on my hardware. Quite rude, to my mind, to come into my house, change something, tell me they’ve changed something, and not tell me what…

I guess it’s the (O)HR sensor, in spanish

[Ze Stuart]

@sartoric thanks, I was thrown by ‘walking’. Now I think of it as OHR, that’s a bug I saw when using it recently, where I had a ~200bpm HR while jogging gently. Well that’s lovely if that’s been fixed.

@Ze-Stuart test jogging then confirm it is fixed

[Ze Stuart]

Just for you, @SlaSh, I will forgo my chest strap when I jog to the pool and back this evening. But not in the pool. I’d feel naked without it.

When it will be fixed?

[Brad_Olwin]

@Ze-Stuart @SlaSh I do not think this is fixed yet. Not for me.

It’s not fixed, i have tested it…i have asked when it will be fix…

[Ze Stuart]

@renton82 @Brad_Olwin you saved me from bad data in this most critical 10-minute piece…

[Brad_Olwin]

@Ze-Stuart Good to know…I think that Suunto is having issues getting this fixed because of Valencel, not Suunto…they certainly know about it.

Hopefully true. Running tracks are good but my hiking tracks have been pretty average thus far (even after changing from the default recording and tracking intervals).

[Ze Stuart]

@Brad_Olwin that’s a good point.

The update on the ohr fixes slow moving activities and there is mainly a few more fixes left to come in the following months.

One is the warmup, more apparent in cold envs.

I have seem the next to come fixes and its going to be awesome. Also this one (fw) is great improvement

[SlaSh]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos spartan watches left behind?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@SlaSh the same ohr is on s9. I can confirm that the same and even more new ohr is coming to Spartans as well. No worries pal. Its the same fixes and better coming to you. Cheers.

Based on a walking activity this morning, the OHR got worse, much worse, with 2.1.64 for me

Track looks good though.
