Suunto 9 Peak Pro?
-
@Brad_Olwin I know it but when I’m in the mountains, I don’t bring with me the other phone which is paired to my 9pp. @Łukasz-Szmigiel has answered my question. All clear to me now.

Hi all, sorry it may already been reported but I don’t follow anymore this thread since I have the Vertical.
The owner of my previous S9PP has a strange bug. When on charging dock, the watch has the battery logo with the lighting but it doesn’t increase in percentage. When unplugged, the percentage decrease normally.
This bug has been already reported ? How can he fix this ?
Normally the watch is up to date.Thanks

Yesterday while I was swimming the watch expectedly lost the connection with the satellite. That’s why I try to swim in a way that my hand spends more time near the surface or now and then I pull my hand out of the water to help the contact with the satellite. I follow this by looking at arrow in the breadcrumb screen. The arrow tells whether you are connected or not. But yesterday after 1.4 km swimming in the sea and during one of my attempts to help the watch restore the connection to the satellite I noticed that the line wouldn’t reestablish after keeping my hand nearly 10 minutes above the surface of the water. Eventually I stopped and saved the activity with those 1.4 km. During the activity I was in performance mode, using fat burner and weather insights apps. Just now and then experimenting with different apps. But since I updated to the latest stable version I always run two apps. Sadly, I couldn’t send logs from the sea (no phone with me and I was far from the shore). I started another swim activity, swam for a bit more than 4 km, again running those two particular apps but by using my tricks for maintaining satellite contact, the problem of the watch not wiling to reconnect to the satellite didn’t repeat. I would lose the connection to the satellite now and then but as on previous swims, the watch would always reconnect.
I wonder was that a one-off or a bug within the latest software? -
By the way, an awesome offer for the watch:

@Highlands The issue I described in my former post happened again today.
-
@Highlands
gnss signals really really don’t like water.
I didn’t try to swim a longer distance with hands below water yet, but I will try something later -
@freeheeler No problem with the other watch, though.
-
@Highlands
I didn’t manage to achieve what I wanted to test.
maybe, if it is reproducible, it would make sense to send logs. -
@freeheeler Couldn’t send logs cause I was away from the shore.
-
@Highlands
you can send logs also several hours later, no need to do that immediately.
I think it helps when they know the time when the issue happened and of course time, date logs sent and account name -
@freeheeler Sorry, saw your post yesterday morning when it was too late. Yesterday we sailed with a boat from one small island to another and at those stops we swam and dived. So during those short sessions the bug I described above didn’t have the opportunity to show up again.
Today, I swam nearly 4000 m, again no bug.
The other annoying thing that kept happening while I swam is losing contact with the satellite very easily. When I swim, so that my hands are near the surface of the water, my other watch rarely if ever, loses the gps lock. On the other hand, my 9pp constantly does. I would find myself wondering, while swimming, is the watch connected to the satellite or not. Very annoying, instead to concentrate on my swimming, I have to deal with that.
And the third annoying thing that I experienced, which is a sheer dealbreaker for me, is that because of the constant loss of gps lock, the 9pp records very strange irregular zig-zag-ish tracks. That results in overestimated distance by a lot. And that has happened in every single swim for 8 days now. You get a distance that has nothing to do with reality. Today, I got 6402 m, when it’s clear for the naked eye that the distance is shorter. My other watch (notice that I avoid on purpose mentioning the brand cause it’s not about it, it’s about my 9pp giving me Mickey Mouse distances) which perfectly keeps the gps lock, recorded 3938 m.
The swimming experience I’ve had for 8 days with this watch wasn’t good at all. For my next sea holiday in September, I definitely won’t get this watch in the water if this problem isn’t fixed. -
@Highlands said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:
When I swim, so that my hands are near the surface of the water
you’re swimming breaststroke?
I don’t know how other companies do it, I don’t know how Suunto does it either
I just know that freestyle is no problem for S9PP when the watch sees some fresh air with every stroke. -
@freeheeler I swim 80% of the time free style. Still, after some distance, sadly for me, the 9pp loses contact with the satellite.

@freeheeler Forgot to mention: have tried on both wrists, same result. And as I said, I swim with another watch as well, so it’s not like I keep my wrists underwater and wonder why I lose connection with the satellites.
When you swim with the 9pp, do you get correct track and distance? I’m appalled by what I get in terms of distance. For me it’s just doesn’t make sense to fill my SA account with swim distances that I haven’t actually swam.
And by the way, how does the SV behave in OWS? Is it any better? -
@Highlands for me S9PP and Vertical both work equally well for open water swimming.
I have just completed a triathlon, where the swim went unter 3 bridges and it was tracked perfectly:

@Highlands
yes, I wanted to answer the same as @Egika , except for the triathlon …my last and only triathlon is 14 years since 
S9PP and Vertical match when recording OWS (always performance) and distance is correct, too.

Doesnt work for me.
Im just doing some beginner swims on my holiday to the buoy and back and it only works if I stop at the marker and wait for tje distance update.Ii felt innacurate so I swam 5 times. First 3 times stoping and waiting and then other 2 going all the way but without a pause beyond a second to glance at the watch.
The watch didnt track and the review in the app shows as if I did not go to the buoy. Ows seems to be like guesswork by the watch
In addition, this morning, data from the laps was noft shown during and burner was blank as well.
The track as well jumped onto shore at a certain point. -
@freeheeler You saw my track I PM-ed you. For 8 days in a row I didn’t get anything better. Also, not one of these 8 days didn’t give me correct distance. When you look at the track I sent you, you can very easily see why I get longer distances.
For the time being, I won’t be using this watch for OWS. As I said, I don’t need in my SA distances I haven’t swam.
Thanks for chipping in. -
@freeheeler Sent logs and spent 35 minutes with a very meticulous guy from the support. He did his best to figure out what I was trying to report. He’ll come back at me via email.
