I have one better. I started and finished within a few meters of each other, and swam in relatively straight lines up and down the beach, going down ~100m, back and so on. I know the distance because of the grounds on the beach, and can measure it using satellite maps… If anyone wants to say ‘GNSS soak!’ I cycled for about 30m to the beach, and let the watch ‘soak’ for about 5m while getting ready. It had copied the bike ride to the watch before I swap, so it will have had opportunity to update the A-GPS. This was with a Race, not a Vertical.

Better… but for an out-and-back swim in calm water, not great. [image: 1752526139733-e58f7b6a-8953-4d1d-8c40-9b506e704c13-image.png]

@elbee said in And Suunto does it again: mid-activity crash on Suunto Race: @wakarimasen But to say the ones who do not post don’t have any problem is a bit too simple. There are people who have problems but aren’t bothered by them. Or they simple don’t know there is a forum. They might complain on strava that their watch crashed. Just under a 1000 forum members (according the to numbers in the various groups)

@elbee said in Track Mode: It’s probably the track isn’t an official athletics track. Trackmode doesn’t make gps more accurate. It just snaps you gpx to what it thinks is the track. Yeah, understood. I don’t know the precise dimensions of the track. I know that the IAAF permits three non-standard dimensions, including double-bend 400 meter tracks. I believe (but don’t know for certain) that this track is a double-bend with a 97.256 meter straightaway and inner curves of 102.744 meters. This is the common alternative for tracks that enclose an American football field. I don’t understand the need for trackmode. I do tracktraining every week at my athletics club. We usually do interval training with intervals between 200 and 800 meters. There are marks all over the track, so knowing the distance is easy. Also, there are tables with times you have to run for each interval, depending on your 5k or 10k time. All you really need is a stopwatch. If the athlete is using GPS for pace and distance, then the advantage of track mode is getting precise measurements without the GPS wiggle. If your coach assigns 25×400m reps at a specific pace, track mode ensures the recorded pace accurately reflects the execution. With that said, if you are using a foot pod rather than GPS for pace and distance, such as Stryd, then track mode is unnecessary as the pace and distance will be accurate from the foot pod’s calibration. The GPS track in that case is just a breadcrumb of where you were, but isn’t part of the pace/distance calculation. Regardless, having the right dimension helps the coach know if you started your kick on the bend (as in the case of 400 meter tracks with 84.39 meter straights) or if you started on the straight. This might be valuable information to have if the track is outdoors and it’s windy. Sure, it’s nice to have your training recorded and some people might be annoyed if their interval is reported as 420m iso 400. But for your traning is doesn’t make any difference. And even the snap to lane 1 isn’t right. There are other people training or you run in a pack and you cannot always be in the inner lane. Many days when doing reps on the the track, I’m alone. Usually when I run with a club, it’s long runs on the weekend, not track sessions in the morning/evening (although I know they exist).

My activities are still not syncing despite all the recommendations

@megaphylls said in Watch rebooted during an activity (HM): software 3.19.16 Just like it was with me: https://forum.suunto.com/post/170416

Hi, Can anyone help with this dilemma please. I can’t seem to figure out how to get my indoor rowing and cycling sessions to log on the phone app as an activity. If I look through my watch logbook the sessions are all there, however they are not showing/syncing to my app at all so it looks as though I’m not doing as many workouts as I am. So my weekly data is all wrong! Any ideas anyone? Many thanks Tasha

@Dr1mo you can always try and see what they say

@larrybbaker I did as you told me watch reset, and still won’t connect…:( iPad and Suunto see each other via Bluetooth, but when I try to pair nothing happens

Bonjour a tous, J’utilise une Suunto 5 peak depuis 1 an, que j’ai connecté à mon capteur de FC (Polar H9). D’habitude tout va bien, à la fin d’une activité la montre charge 20 sec le temps de tout synchroniser et mon activité se télécharge sur mon application… Or depuis ce matin, en revenant d’une sortie vélo, ma montre reste bloqué sur l’écran “synchro données FC” avec le petit chargement… Cela fait 3h que rien n’a bougé… Je ne peux pas quitter cette synchro, j’ai essayé de déconnecter et reconnecter ma montre, d’enlever et remettre la pile de mon capteur de FC mais rien… Le seul moment où je n’ai plus cet écran c’est quand je reçois une notif qui s’affiche donc sur ma montre. Quelqu’un a t’il déjà eu ça, et/ou sait comment arrêter ça ? Merci ! Björn

Hi all! My Android mobile phone can connect and be paired with my Suunto 5, but it keeps on pairing once both devices are connected. Obviously, no performance data is automatically synced. The app and softwares are updated. What might be the problem? Thanks!

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!
