    @sky-runner Thanks, you’re right, it’s hard to blame the watch for that, and now that I think about it, I have similarly good results with planning on Strava or Komoot, although the distance on the map is always shorter than in reality.

    Hi there! After the last SW update the wheel circumference settings for the bike pod sensors have disappeared. I can connect a bike pod and that’s it, can’t adjust anything on it. Is this a known bug or is my watch special?

    @David-Kleman same problem for me. HR is only accurate for me during total rest (Sleeping, sitting still…). As soon as I move my arm or even only my fingers (typing on a keyboard), the HR increases slowly and locks to higher heart-rates. Sometimes even double the actual one. It almost instantly recovers if I take of my watch and put it back on or it slowly recovers over time if I do not move at all for approx. 1 minute. Not only the sensor is bad but also the algorithm seems to favour fast increases above fast decreases. Therefore, misreadings due to movement (high values) seem to establish quickly but correct (low) readings afterwards are ignored and HR recovers to correct values too slowly again which makes the bad accuracy even worse. I tried everything that is recommended for OHRs and never had these problems with my previous forerunner and vantages which were spot on for normal daily use and light activities like hiking or steady and slow running under easy conditions. Therefore, I never even dared to try the OHR during exercise since I anyway always use a HR strap during sport. As OHR readings during sleep are accurate, I in the end decided to stick with the Race S as the new Garmin alternatives are way too expensive. As daily tracking is so bad, recovery and resource metrics might not be as accurate as supposed but I see these metrics anyway more like a fun gimmick. But before ordering I never expected the OHR reading to be a problem during normal daily tracking as this was never an issue with any other watch from other brands over the last years. Probably would have not ordered it had I known that before.

    With the beta FW in I did 600 yards in the pool and still the stroke detection doesn’t work… everything is detected as free (free, breast, back). Once change I did see was, when there was a change in stroke during a length, the next turn wasn’t detected.

    @Pep-Carbonell only accurate method is a professional lactate measurement on a treadmill. If you can not do that or you don’t want to spend the money, a field test like a 10km Time-Trial/Race or 1h all-out is the most accurate you can go. The average HR for the last 20 min is in the ball park of ±3 BPM of your lactate threshold. If you do that 2 or 3 times over the next months to reduce daily influences you will be able to quite accurately narrow down your HR at the lactate threshold. Formulas like 90% of HRmax are way to inaccurate and can be ±20 BPM off. ZoneSense is already more accurate but can still have around ±10 BPM inaccuracy as scientific works could show. A deviation of 10 BPMs is quite good compared to the other calculation methods but it’s still huge if you want to train correctly in the zones.

    Received feedback from the support team. They tell me that the Peak Pro is no longer manufactured, nor that they have the parts to repair it. Not sure why they talk about parts, as to me, the issue had nothing to do with “mechanics” (but hey I’m not a techncian). Their position is “we can maybe fix it, but a cost that wouldn’t be relevant to you”, so instead, they offer to me a replacement with another device. With an incredible discount of 10€ !!! Quite interstingly, the Peak Pro is one of the models they’re offering in this deal of the century. Yes. The same model that is not manufactured anymore and for which they have no spare parts if there’s an issue. Just bought a new Sports2. But with a “I give these guys one last chance, before I move to G” approach, as I’m pretty pi**ed off, the failure happened after a failed update (according to me, but once again, I’m no Suunto technicain), 2 weeks after the warranty expired, and by the fact that the support is putting me in a position where I have no other option that to buy a new device. Aren’t they clamining they are a sustainable company? “Repairability” is the basis of being sustainable, especially for a device that was first realseased less than 3 years ago. Or is the image they want to give some sort of green-washing. Anyways…

    Hello, today we noticed this issue on my wifes 5 Peak. Unfortunatelly it has already 2.5 year so it is not under warranty anymore. And she is light user, and not wearing it while washing dishes, showering, sleeping etc. Only around 9hours a day during working days only and then while cycling/hiking but thats few times a month.

    Interesting take! A lightweight Suunto with Stryd support would be a game-changer for runners. I doubt they’ll add it, but if they did, I’d consider it too. The T6c was legendary—2000 miles is impressive!

    @sky-runner maybe a silly idea, but what about using multisport ? entering an aid station you switch to any mode you customized for “”“pause”“” at station, and switchback to main one when going out ? if times data are setup correctely, you can have total time and/or current activity time (run or pause time in you case), previous pause and previous “stats”, etc… and you will have all details in SA after.

    @sky-runner I had the similar issue this weekend. I was at the beginning of the route but on Climb guidance view I was at the end of the route. Impossible between way point. This issue happened at the begging only when my route back was the similar.

    GPS is essential for calculating Running Power. It is stated in the watch manual as well: Suunto 9 Peak Pro measures running power from the wrist combining GPS and barometric data. Ensure your weight is correct in the watch settings for the algorithm to work properly. Your weight is set at Settings > General > Personal > Weight.

    @sky-runner said in New Suunto Run Watch interface on older models (Vertical, Race, Race S)?: Spinning the crown is difficult when wearing gloves Not on a Coros watch, since the crown friction is much lower than on Suunto offerings <-- My experience: Pace 2 versus Race S. The Coros was a breeze to use even with thick finger gloves; did not try with ski mittens though… Instead I’d say that having to keep the crown pushed in for several seconds to scroll backwards, the Suunto way, is the real elephant in the room. As for other possible transfers from the Run watch to older models, sure! I would like sensible ones, but please not the ‘Fluff’. Back in 2013/2014 Garmin introduced Ground Contact Time on the FR620 and FR920XT, as well as Vertical Oscillation. This, together with the old (useful) data point Cadence, they called Running Dynamics. We spent countless hours on the forum discussing possible ways to make the numbers actionable, with little success. Basically it boiled down to “run faster” to lower the GCT and/or switch from heel striking to mid- or forefoot landing. VO is also lowered by “running faster”, but that’s about it. ‘You is You’ when it comes to running technique, and only mileage and experience will make your body adjust to the safest and most energy efficient running style for Your Body. Same goes for the Ground Contact Time Balance which Garmin squeezed into the RD set in 2015 (not backported to the FR620, you had to buy the new FR630…) The forum discussions were hilarious, and absolutely Zero clarification from Garmin. For example: 51-49 - meaning the GCT was slightly longer on the left foot - did that signify that something in the left leg department (hip, thigh, ankle etc) was weaker, injured or whatever than the right area, OR that your body favoured the left side because the right side was weaker, injured… etc. etc. The suggestions for how to balance a possible ‘imbalance’ took on surreal tones when one of the moderators claimed to having achieved 50-50 by holding one of the arms straight out from the body - this while running… I certainly would not buy a new version Suunto watch based on such frivolous additions.

    @ruslan-jefremov часы без пульсометра? В таком случае 0 калорий ожидаемый результат. If no HR is being measured, 0 calories is an expected result. Проверьте показания давления в вашем регионе. Поскольку часы отталкиваются от барометрических данных, штормовое предупреждение может появиться и вне шторма. Если скачков давления в регионе не наблюдалось, можно попробовать почистить сенсор - несколько примеров можно найти на форуме. В крайнем случае стоит обратиться в поддержку. Check baro graphs in your region, there might have been pressure fluctuations with an actual storm. In case there were no significant changes you can maybe try to clean the baro holes. If nothing helps, you can try to contact support.

    ooh wait yes that’s seems to be the orthostatic test from polar… @isazi in https://support.polar.com/en/support/the_what_and_how_of_orthostatic_test by the section “How do I do an orthostatic test?” the description is quite the same as the fitness test. I’ll get a deeper look on it. I’m little bit confused on why only the v02max is evaluated here, regarding about all we discussed before and the concept of evaluation of the value which is exclusive by red-zone…

    @Dan-Cantir Indeed, I changed “location access” to “Always”, and since then the weather forecast has Benn updated automatically multiple times. Thank you. I don’t see why this is necessary (at least I would accommodate having a forecast for the last location where I opened the app), but for now it works and I don’t need to start a synchronisation from my watch anymore.

    Maybe to avoid confusion, the option I’m thinking about should be called autobreak to distinguish it from autopause.
