New software update for S9P-S9B-S9-S5P-S5 and S3 devices 2.20.28

Today I ran without HR belt, because I forgot it. Wrist HR is turned off in Running, so there was no HR measurement.

However, my watch (Suunto 5) happily gave me a VO2max estimate. I wonder how it was calculated without any HR info…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@juhis70 it’s the prev vo2max.

[sartoric]

@juhis70
That’s the estimated value, that one as far as I remember, it’s not the calculated one

[juhis70]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Ok, thanks! I remember that with previous SW I had sometimes runs that did not give me VO2max, if there was a problem with HR belt. But displaying the previous value is ok (I checked that it was the previous value )

[thanasis]

any chances that we see a fix on the battery depleting when the watch is not worn because it seems that the HR sensor gets into a infinite loop ?

[isazi]

@thanasis that is fixed.

[thanasis]

@isazi what do you mean? is it something coming down with the next release or it is fixed in the current version ?

because yesterday I left the watch in my bag and lost 28% in a single day

[isazi]

@thanasis for many users it got solved already, for others (probably you are in this group) should be fixed with next firmware.

During intervals phase I could not see in which repetition I was. Maybe I missed to tick something in TP. Overall great addition and nicely implemented.

Quick workaround:
Name those repetitions in the workout builder with
Warm up
1/10
2/10
…
Cool down

These names will show up on the watch.

Thanks for the tip but it is not convenient when you have a lot of repetitions
It would be a great improvement if repetition# could be displayed as a field on the screen (or maybe at least in the notification of the coming repetition)

@sebchastang if you use a custom sports mode, then you can configure it to display the lap number, which helps, unless you have a more complex structured workout.

[sebchastang]

@halajos yes, I was talking about “complex” structured interval (as we cannot define multiple set of repetitions with the standard “interval” option in sport modes)
