    @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!

    @Durri definitely not necessary. While I am not really sure if you off-time sleeps will be handled as sleeping or napping, just leave it on and let it do it’s thing. Then we like to hear about your experience!

    Yes, regardless of the language, it would be really cool (and useful) to use a color code for end/save - continue - pause - discard our activities.

    @isazi ok thanks for your feedback. So I guess it’s more accurate then when there are « few » sections » with big elevations than on routes with lot of sections and few elevation. (By the way I realize that the exemple I’ve taken was not good => in mountains I experimented that it was working pretty well)

    @far-blue said in [UPDATE] Disable notification ONLY during trainings: Just to add to this (which I also noticed), When DND is on it also silences all alerts for structured workouts. This isn’t a very helpful or expected behaviour so can DND mode when in an activity please allow actual activity alerts to still, um, alert? Yes, that is a bug in my opinion. It needs to disable system notifications for the duration of the activity while allowing activity related alerts (Guides, + Apps, etc.)
  • How does FusedPace react to there being a foot pod

    Ok, I’ve been experimenting and this is what I’ve found so far. Firstly, it seems clear to me that the behaviour of the watch’s presentation of pace changes when a stryd pod is used so I’m pretty sure the pace data is used and is used in preference to in-watch fusedspeed data. When I use the stryd pod, pace appears to be updated pretty consistently every 2 seconds or so. I actually think Suunto could do some work to tune this to improve it because my iPhone app (iSmoothRun) can update every second but that’s an aside. When the stryd is paired, no level of mucking about with gps or holding my arm to see the watch for extended periods makes any difference so I’m going to say when a stryd is paired fusedspeed isn’t used and pace comes from the stryd, not gps. When not using the stryd pod I can def. create scenarios where I can tell the difference. With a recently sync’d watch, over 20% battery, performance level gps and a solid gps signal I actually think the watch updates pace faster than when using the stryd. However, not sync’ing before a run, having less than 20% battery and running deliberately where I know the GPS signal is weaker (under trees, along canals etc) the pace update rate drops significantly. Here it seems to update every 5 or so seconds and is also more likely to react to a slowing of pace than an acceleration. I’m guessing this is the frusedspeed stuff kicking in. If I go further to ‘break’ the fusedspeed capability by holding my wrist up to view my watch continuously (therefore preventing the accelerometer from doing it’s job) then in a poor signal area the pace can easily freeze for 20 seconds or more until GPS catches up. So my conclusion is that the watch adopts behaviour 1 from my original post. As a result I’m not going to be retiring my Stryd any time soon And as a PS maybe Suunto could improve the refresh rate for pace and power from the stryd to every second I’d be interested to hear if other people have different experiences

    @fritzbt2013 I can confirm that it is the least used custom activity that gets deleted. I recently got back to using my Vertical and had 4 custom activities (only). I noted which one was at the top on the watch (the least used). I then performed the update, and it was gone, and I was down to 3 activities. I’ll continue to keep track of this, but it’s pretty easy to reproduce the problem and I would think Suunto could solved this fairly easily (if there is a good way to submit the issue where it might get some traction). For now, I’ve added ‘Stretching’ to both my watches and will (easily) make sure it will be the least used activity as a workaround to the problem.

    @stromdiddily The watch will use HR but the other values can affect the TP calculations from what I have seen. See if this helps.

    According to battery life, this could be a feature that could be turned on/off by the user. Gyroskope + HR is always on on most watches, only GPS is off by default. So it shouldn’t be that demanding e.g. when HR goes up and Steps / Minute increase. Garmin has a feature called “Move IQ” doing something similar but haven’t tried yet. Therefore I would up vote for a configurable feature like that.

    @Squirrel Yes, I think it is quite possible that vibrations were triggered by the BT sensor. Today it vibrated when I walked towards my desk at work or away from it. At my desk there was a backpack with Coros HR sensor inside. This happened with an hour of me finishing a run, but didn’t happen later in the day.

    @metalmi I think it seems like that feature is hidden seems not really obvious for a new user. Ideally I think when someone purchases a watch from Suunto and is doing the initial setup it would ask if you want to enter a name and contact info to be added into the watch in addition to your age, height, and weight. Then the watch would automatically show the correct info in some of the menus do if someone picks it up and uses it they will see it.
