Why I've shelved my Peak for a 9

position of the baro holes… I frequently need to be cautious to not block the holes on my S9B.

I wonder about that too whenever I wear long sleeves as I like my watch sitting pretty tight on the wrist

@freeheeler baro holes - it seems to be difficult with every position:
Ambit hat them underneath afaik
S9B on the left: issues with clothes or wind for left handers
S9P on the bottom: issues with rain or snow falling on it, because holes pointing skywards during arm swing.

It’s not easy and some data processing needs to be applied in AL cases…

You can have two baro sensors at different place to cancel the noise of the other.

@lexterm77 first of all, you’ll need to put another sensor there, doubling the cost of that component, and the space it takes. Second, two sensors would be for fault tolerance if one suddenly drops dead, but it is no help for different behavior. You would need at least three to have a tiebreaker in case two sensors show different results.

@isazi

Cost of machining titanium outweights the cost of baro . My S9B lost its baro accuracy over the years, when I calibrate my altitude baro is 6mbar off. X lander had calibration menu is there such thing on S9B hidden in fw?

@isazi
I would pay for 3 sensors right away. in an S9P XL there would even be space for it

here’s my todays skitouring of not even 900 vertical meters…

@freeheeler

Me to, I’d pay for titanium watch with 3 sensors and a wireless charger than you can snap a magnetic ring around a bezel for on wrist charging capability during activity

I must admit that this is my first ski touring with the new FW. I’ll check tomorrow on the next skitour again…
the graph itself looks solid, no suspicious “baro hole blocking spikes” as I know them from the past. Only a lot of ups and downs when zooming in…

no issue today with weird total ascent values… and now stopping highjacking this thread

[isazi]

@freeheeler if you find that there are issues with the new S9B ascent algorithm, feel free to create a new post in the right section.

[freeheeler]

@isazi
I don’t think there are issues, no worries.
I was just confused as I saw the exaggerated total ascent but not the commonly known spikes when the holes are blocked by sweaty skin… I suspect the jacket’s sleeve was the root cause here…

anyway: I would shelve my S9B for an S9P XL… just to mention it again …even if I need to pay for 3 baro sensors
